    Eggs, Tabasco sauce, scrapple, potato, cakes, hollandaise sauce, and I asked for burnt rice toast, cause it's my favorite
    Petros K.

    I've been living in Philadelphia for the last 20 years, but I grew up in Berks County and my daughter still lives in Exeter. I must've driven by this place hundreds of times and never noticed it. Today on a simple Google search it popped up and I couldn't believe I've been missing it for all this time. Regardless I had some time to stop in. Tons of parking outside. Upon walking inside, I was greeted by a very nice young girl called Melana who was also my waitress. I ordered my usual breakfast fair egg scrapple, and burnt right toast. They offered something different other than home fries which was a potato pancake and let me tell you they were delicious. There's nothing fancy about this place. Just good old-fashioned, cooking and outstanding service. I'm definitely going to come back and I'll be bringing my family the next time. It's nice to see a new auction that is fantastic. If you're like me and you've been driving past this place. Take the time to stop in. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    So as I write this I'm being generous. I've been here twice and this was a few months ago. I thought I left a review here but instead I put it on my IG. Anywho, firstly the food itself is good. The first time I went I had French toast and the second I had waffles. The first time I came here I felt awkward like I wasn't wanted. I chalked it up to me being alone. But when I came a second time with my parents they both mentioned they felt like they weren't wanted either. The vibe in this place is off. The staff are polite but it's a weird polite. I like going places that make me feel like I'm family and I'm welcome. The food is good but I can't get around the energy in here. So I personally won't be going back.

    EVERY SINGLE THING we ordered tasted AMAZING! I cannot reccomend this cafe ENOUGH!

    Brooks Cafe is SO amazing. In an era of Social Distancing, the truly do an amazing job. I ordered everything on FB, paid via Venmo, pulled up my car and drove off with my food. There are delivery options, like DoorDash, but I wanted to get out of the house, even if it was just to the car. We ordered a plethora of different items off the breakfast menu and the lunch menu and EVERY SINGLE THING tasted AMAZING! I cannot reccomend this cafe ENOUGH!!! The owner and the cook are truly great people, always giving back to the community. I just can't say enough about how much I love this place and these people. Pictured: cheesesteak, boom boom shrimp salad, burger, cafe salad, nutella croissant french toast, tuna sandwich, and a bacon/egg/cheese croissant. Not pictured: the incredible sticky buns we ate on the car ride home!

    it was okay not the best. The potato cakes were awesome! Spanish Omelette

    We moved into the area last year and it took a while for us try this place mainly because we rarely go out to breakfast. It's in a strip mall but the inside is as I'd expect. We've now been here 4 times. We've taken our families here when they come up for a weekend breakfast. The potato cakes are awesome and I recommend them to everyone. I really enjoyed the banana pancakes and my aunt loved the banana bread french toast. I haven't been overly impressed with the omelets as I prefer a little less cheese but it was still fine. It's a worth a try especially if you are local.

    Pumpkin crepes were very good, very sweet though for a whole meal! Apple caramel waffles with fresh apples was perfect!

    On this crisp, sunny Saturday morning we decided to go on a local explore…read more We had thirst for a craft coffee and small breakfast. So we ventured for the first time to Brakeman's Cafe. A sweet scene across the street from the Colebrookdale Rail, we sat outside and enjoyed the quiet view. My husband ordered an Iced Caramel Fluff Coffee and my being on a chai kick lately, tried their small hot variety. Drinks came out quickly considering the line of patrons ordering and most of the indoor seating full. We sat with our number at a table outside. The brisk air was delightful and even more delightful was the rest of our breakfast. My husband ordered an Everything Bagel Sandwich with Cheddar and Sausage. He enjoyed it, said it needed some spice or sauce though. I was delighted in my pick! An Everything Bagel with the lemon-dill cream cheese. This cream cheese should be sold on its own! I'd purchase (or would love to steal the recipe!). The cream cheese was more a like a dip in consistency. Smooth, flavorful and light. This was inspo for me to try to make later and put on bagels, sandwiches and crackers (still thinking about eating it, lololol). What a wonderful start to the weekend! A local gem in Brakeman's!!

    Brakeman's is my fav! Their speciality/seasonal cold brews are always so fun and delicious. My top…read morefav was the banana cream cold brew. The service is fast and friendly.
