    Breakaway Cafe has become my favorite breakfast spot solely off their breakfast burritos and quiche. This is probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever gotten anywhere- to be more specific it is the regular breakfast burrito with turkey sausage (they also have 2 other different variations which are probably good as well). They serve it with crispy perfect breakfast potatoes that are even good when you get takeout. Every day they offer a fresh quiche (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) that they sell until it's sold out and we found that the vegetarian one is sold out pretty early every day. When we finally were able to snag a piece, we understood why. It was so delicious and flakey, I wish I could buy the whole pie. The cafe itself is cute with art on the walls and free wifi to work. The service has always been great and everyone is always friendly. The restaurant is always busy all morning and it's a great place to work and chat at. They have a pretty large menu and serve a delicious coffee as well.

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich

    First time here, this is a cool establishment to come and hang out, meet friends for a bite/drink or just do some work. The vibe is chill and it has a pleasant outdoor section to enjoy some sun too. Menu is decent size but not so daunting where you feel overwhelmed. Ended up getting the Fried Chicken Sandwich with a side of buffalo sauce. The sandwich was awesome, the chicken and breading were fried perfectly. Got a cup of coffee too but it ended up being a tad cold, I shouldn't have asked for a fresh cup but couldn't be bothered. Service was great, the gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and offered some suggestions about what to get. Overall great place, reasonably priced for portion size and they have beers on tap... I'll definitely be back.

    Everything was amazing, fresh and so very delicious. Service was impeccable as well as the beautiful restaurant cafe itself. My husband and I enjoyed TWO Cappuccino's with Oat milk, omg delish and a Broccoli Cheese Quiche that was so fluffy and perfect with a side of potatoes. If you have not tried, this restaurant cafe is a must...just saying. Thank you everyone at Breakaway Cafe, delish

    My friend and I checked this place out for brunch. Although, I've been to this location before, it had been awhile ago. The ambience of Breakaway Cafe is cozy and casual. It's a great place for groups to dine. The cashier was very helpful. She answered my questions regarding menu options. I decided on ordering the Huevos Rancheros. The meal was very tasty! I'll definitely order this menu option again.

    Turkey BLT
    Lynn R.

    I've passed this place many times when out and about and tried for the first time. The vibe is great and the staff is super nice. You order at the counter and then your food is brought over. I tried the Turkey BLT with avocado. This was delicious. The sandwich was piled high with Turkey and the bacon was crispy. I appreciated how fresh the sandwich was. I also got a side of fries which were good. This is something I usually don't order but felt like it today. For an added treat they have a bin of dog cookies so I assumed they allow dogs.

    Giving a 3 as the owner maybe manager wasn't the nicest while visiting. The food was good and the coffee was as well, staff overall friendly.

    breakaway breakfast, classic benedict
    Joyce K.

    My family came to Breakaway Cafe for Mother's Day brunch and although we were able to find parking, the lot was quite small. We did not make any brunch reservations ahead of time, so we were glad that there were a number of tables open at Breakaway Cafe. The interior is very open and spacious with fun light fixtures hanging from the ceiling and modern decor on the walls. There is also a good amount of indoor seating. The hostess directs you to a table to sit at and you order at the counter. The line to order is quite long, so I stood in line as soon as we were seated to get a head start. The menu is a bit small but there were still a good number of appealing options. Three of us ordered the breakaway breakfast and my brother ordered the classic benedict. The breakaway breakfast gives you the option to choose your protein and it also includes toast, two eggs, potatoes, and bread. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and everything looked delicious. Our meal was nice and fresh and I enjoyed the ambiance of the cafe! The only aspect that threw me off was the ordering at the counter which I feel prolongs the process of ordering, but it was just a unique feature of the cafe! Overall, I had a great time at Breakaway Cafe!

    If you want more than a 3 than provide some service it's like a Costco cafeteria with decent breakfast. Stupid business model.

    We paid $42 for 2 breakfast dishes, nothing special. They wanted to charge us extra for a simple coffee refill. Not going there again!

The ambiance is very much that of a diner. The service is different from what I'm used to, they will seat you at your table and give you menus to order. Once you're ready to order you walk up to the counter / register to order. *They Do Not except Cash I personally think the menu has too many options. I was torn between getting a Turkey Ruben sandwich or Ciabatta French Toast. I ended up ordering the French Toast. The French Toast aren't the best it's basically ciabatta bread and syrup I was disappointed... *The turkey bacon on the side was really good. I probably should have went with the Turkey Rueben instead. My wife ordered Biscuits and gravy with a blueberry pancake, Her pancake came out burnt, she sent it back and they quickly made her a new pancake. For her Biscuits and Gravy she said the gravy was great but, the biscuits could have been softer. Overall my experience was ok... not good, not bad just ok.

I got an omelette that had a lot more oil than it needed to; it was a great portion though, and I really appreciated you could get tofu as one of the fillers. The gluten free waffle was pretty "crusty and plain and uninspired" and not filling for the price. For what it's worth, I had one bite of that waffle and liked it more than he did. The folks were very kind, and food came out in good time around noon on a Sunday. Nice big parking lot with free parking.

    Came here recently and had a decent experience…read more First, parking was super easy since there are a bunch of spots at the back. I started off by ordering a latte and one of the pastries (brie with hot honey and carrots). I was a little frustrated with how long it took to get my order - I'm pretty sure it was at least 10 minutes. The pastry sounded good in theory but it actually didn't taste super great, unfortunately. Later, I ordered an iced matcha tea latte and it was pretty darn good. Everything was a little expensive but I kind of expected that :) There are some outlets along one of the walls so you can plug in your laptop, which is nice. Overall, I'd consider coming back here to grab a coffee and do some work, but I'd recommend people be patient since the orders may take a while to come out.

The barista was very thoughtful, managed to make it cold but with very little ice so I could sip it slowly throughout the day. I also tried the spinach feta danish, and to my surprise, it was the best one I've had in the area! I'd love to come back and hope more people discover this charming spot!
