Wade Park Cafe is one of the best places to eat if you want to get some work done or just relax. I…read morego here almost 3+ times a week during school to relax during my flex period and to get a bite to eat! The staff are super nice, me and my friends love the hospitality from them, especially Mrs. Gail! The food is delicious, the breakfast here is so so so good (I recommend their pancake combo, waffle combo, power sandwich, and their avocado toast!). The lunch here is also amazing, I usually pick a soup (HIGHLY recommend the loaded potato and tomato Gouda) that they have in their rotation and a grill cheese, but they have many delicious options that my friends get. This cafe is a memory from my senior year that I will never ever forget. Thank you Wade Park Cafe! :)

This is a nice little cafe located in Wade Park near the PNC Center that serves breakfast and…read morelunch. I usually stop in for just coffee when I drive my son to CGHS for the morning football workouts. They offer a nice menu of breakfast platters, croissants sandwiches, wraps and paninis. Today, I decided to try a breakfast to go. I went with the breakfast wrap. You get your choice of bacon, ham, sausage, Turkey bacon and sliced Turkey with cheese on your choice of wrap (white, whole wheat, spinach). I opted for the fruit salad on the side but you can get potato salad and a side greens salad. The wrap was cooked nicely and pressed in a panini grill. The coffee here is pretty good also. They also have fresh baked pastries, breads and muffins. The interior is bright and cheery especially on a sunny morning. You can also sit outside in front of the cafe or in the park across the street, which is what I did today. On a nice morning that beats dashboard dining in a high school parking lot in my honest opinion.

The breakfast sandwich was great, side of tater tots was extremely plentiful for only being 4.99. The sandwich was huge too. I appreciate the serving sizes.

Good food is strangely hard to find around wake forest but this spot nailed it. We'll be back!

They were so excited to be able to "cook and make coffee" at a restaurant and kept talking about it after we left.

The chicken biscuit was delicious and came with a side of honey but I ordered a side of sausage gravy to top it with and it was perfection! They have a pretty large menu with something for everyone and a lot of amazing sounding coffee drinks! I can't wait to go back and visit for lunch as well. Everyone there was very and helpful!

It's located next to Village District. I was greeted immediately by a nice young man. I asked for his hot food suggestion, and of course he suggested the waffles! I ordered a waffle with fresh bananas and Nutella...every bite was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a lavender latte and loved it. They sell scones from a local vendor and I had a gluten free orange cranberry scone which was also delicious. Benelux is spacious and has plenty of seating. Tables, high tops and even a couple of comfortable love seats.

I went to Union Special Friday around noon. There were people at maybe two tables when I arrived,…read moreand I was first in line & helped right away. Paris was amazing, she gave me the run down of some of their most popular menu items. I ordered the Union Special Breakfast Sandwich , a Honey Lavender Latte & a Twice Baked Pecan Croissant. Everything was absolutely delicious. It's hard to find a really great lavender latter, but no longer, it was perfect. The croissant was like nothing I've ever tasted, every bite amazing. The Union Special was definitely that. It's a scrambled egg, fontina cheese, hash brown & romesco (roasted red pepper hummus) sandwiched between their spectacular freshly made brioche bun. So many people were coming in shortly after I arrived. I sat and worked there for about an hour and a half and it was pretty steady!!! There's maybe 5 tables inside, with a really long high top bar up against the window with seating for about 10 - 12 people. There's also several tables outside on their patio. I love that their bakery is visible through a window, they do some amazing work in there! I'll definitely be back.

Food: Was yummy! I got the Chai Latte iced. It was perfectly spiced and not watered down. The…read morespiced were well strained or finely ground, so there was no gritty taste or overly spices settling to the bottom. It was smooth and creamy. The Strawberry Danish was good as well. Flaky croissant twist with savory sweet cream and sweet fresh strawberries in the middle. Only con would be to have a more filling of the cream and strawberries compared to the croissant twist. But still good to have as a quick breakfast or snack for later. I also got the chicken sandwich too! Would highly recommend that. You get a fried chicken cutlet topped with melted American cheese, on a bed of shredded lettuce and cucumber. It came out piping hot. It was crispy, crunchy, savory, but with the fresh veggies it gave it a slight freshness to it as well. It was well balanced. Ambiance: it's a great brunch place and quiet for just doing some work as well. I wouldn't say it's a study place or office/bookish place as it is a bit echo-y and the seating is not soft and comfy. But for a quick bite and brunch during a work lunch break, this is your spot. Maybe a great place for first casual day date! Lol Service: everyone was friendly and service was quick. You order and the counter, they give you a number and bring your food to you. Overall no problems or concerns! Overall I would go there again if I'm in the area. The location is a bit out of my way and can be difficult to navigate if it's your first time. The roads rear off to another many times. So be sure to keep and eye on the road and the signs. The hours of operation was a bit hard for me as I tried to get there before my work at 8am but they don't open till 8am and then they close right before business hours end as well so had to get there before 3pm too. So I can see why they may be a quiet place most of the time. But if you get there and go the food and drinks are good.

The staff was nice, all smiles. The menu had a nice variety of food. They also offer adult beverages, as well as a bar. Our waitress was cool, very pleasant. She gave great recommendations. Now, the delicious part, we ordered a variety. My family ordered a burnt turkey ends bowl which contained cheesy polenta, bbq burnt ends, sliced pickles, and I added mushrooms; funky monkey banana deep fried French toast, berry me deep fried French toast, fish & cheesy polenta, bacon, and hash browns. EVERYTHING WAS TASTY! I highly recommend this place. I'll be back soon because I have to try the deep fried French toast topped with grilled peaches. Yummy!!!

It is in the same shopping center as Galaxy Fun Park, Wakefield Marquee and Milton's. The shopping center has plenty of free parking. Sunday's AM Eatery serves breakfast and brunch items until 3pm each day, and the menu might be getting some new additions soon. They do not take reservations. Best of all, it is locally owned. The 97.5 health score is A-OK too. The seating inside is a mix of tables, booths, and bar seats. I did not order one of the Benedicts here, as they had fried eggs instead of poached and grilled brioche instead of English muffins. Instead, I went with the Smashed Toast, which was smashed avocado on Texas Toast and topped with a fried egg. A side of hash browns was included, too. Service was top-notch on my visit. I was greeted the moment I entered the door and seated soon after. My iced tea arrived seconds after I ordered it. I was told about the restaurant and the specials, then given time to decide what to order. My plate came out pretty soon after I ordered. I didn't expect it so quickly. I liked that my eggs had a runny yolk. I liked the flavors of the avocado, toast, and hash browns. I was very happy with my selection. The portion was good, and the price was reasonable. The French toast/pancakes caught my eye, too. You can select from the versions they have, like Elvis or mixed berry, or create your own. So I will likely go with that next time. I am glad I found another breakfast spot to dine and am looking forward to a return visit.

Mains: I ordered the strawberries & cream pancakes which came with three extremely tiny pancakes, that tasted like whole wheat. The "fresh jam" was overly sugared and had a smoothie like consistency.

The coffee was a standout too, smooth and not overly sweet, which I personally loved. A lot of people come here for the breakfast burritos, pancakes, and specialty lattes, so it's a solid brunch option if you want something a little elevated from the usual rotation. Service was friendly and pretty quick, even when it got busy, which I appreciated. It does get packed, especially on weekends, so just be ready for a bit of a wait.
