I would come again and try something else. My croissant was stale and a little bit overcooked. It says fluffy eggs in the egg and bacon croissant sandwich, but it was a very thin folded over omelette. Also, I did not think the home fries were very good at all. Obviously, they've been sitting around for a while. They weren't crispy. My boyfriend food looked pretty good although he thought the same thing about the home fries. read more

Not a great dining experience. Food was just ok. I would expect more from a place that promotes their breakfast food. My wife ordered a Mediterranean omelette, which was their special today. The chicken was extremely dry, and the omelette was flavorless. I won't be back read more

Solid consistent food. Excellent for both breakfast as and lunch meals My favorite is the creamed chipped beef read more

Great burgers and fries. Excellent pancakes and things like that. Interesting food and great coffee. So much better than a diner. We try a lot of places but always come back to Brooks! read more

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. read more

Brooks Cafe - Eggs, Tabasco sauce, scrapple, potato, cakes, hollandaise sauce, and I asked for burnt rice toast, cause it's my favorite - American Near Me - Douglassville, Pennsylvania

Great service, friendly waitstaff, huge portions (freshly made and hot!), reasonably priced. I would recommend! read more

One and done. We went on the Friday before Christmas at noon. We waited well over a half an hour for our food because they were making a bunch of entries for a photographer to shoot. Portions are not big and the lunches were not good. The breakfast seems to be a tad better. Our waitress was pretty good though. read more

My husband and I had breakfast here this morning and were very disappointed with everything except the sourdough French toast. The bacon is paper thin, zero flavor and extra crispy. The sausage was awful too even after I sent it back for being under cooked. The breakfast potatoes were under cooked and had no seasoning. The service was below average--needed several reminders to refill coffee, lack of friendliness, literally dropped off silverware for our table like it was a flyover and kept going, delivered check to table w/out a word to us. The place was not full when we were there so I'm hard pressed to find an excuse for the absence of pleasantness. It's really hard to screw up breakfast, but they did. The poor quality of the food was undeniable (except the sourdough French toast which was very good). read more

We have eaten at Brooks Cafe before. Never had any issues. We ordered take out today. When I went in to pick up, I was informed that they don't have the Chicken Salad Hawaiian and substituted the chicken salad with grapes and walnuts. You can't just sub something without asking! The person this was for has a nut allergy! That could have been very dangerous! I asked to sub a club sandwich instead. I waited and waited at least 10-15 minutes and no word. How long does a club take?? I asked someone behind the counter if it's coming out soon and she said "I don't know". Food was coming out of the kitchen left and right! you'd think they would take care of the order they screwed up first instead of leaving me stand there and then no one knew about it! I walked out (never to return!) Sorry to see it's going downhill and nobody cares anymore about customer service! read more

Great little breakfast place right near my house. Food is always good and their crab omelette is incredible. Great place to bring the family for a quick breakfast and fun time. Service is always good and staff are friendly. I will be back without a doubt. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Brooks Cafe - EVERY SINGLE THING we ordered tasted AMAZING! I cannot reccomend this cafe ENOUGH! - American Near Me - Douglassville, Pennsylvania

Two of us got the sourdough french toast, I got the golden waffle with yogurt and fruit, and my partner got the veggie bowl. Food came out quickly and was exactly what you'd expect from a diner in a plaza. Nothing to write home about, but I don't think that's why you go to diners! Our waitress was quick and they prefer tips in cash, so we did that. Perfect amount of food; the veggie bowl had a lot so my partner took some home. read more

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. read more

Breakfast and lunch! Stuffed French toast is sooo good! A small lil place, but def check it out! I wanna say they close at 2. So get their before then! read more

Ordered through door dash & everything we received was hot & delicious. The blueberry pancakes were the BOMB. Will defintelly order from here again. Thanks guys!!!! read more

the waiter, i think her name was ally or abby, kept calling me by the wrong pronouns (i identify as a martian/attack helicopter) and she kept calling me a ninja turtle. now i will have to call the First Order of Neptune to molecularly disassemble the restaurant. very displeased but their souls will feed the Great Star Daddy so i will give it two stars. Also no litter boxes in the bathroom so my pack mate had to mark his territory in the kitchen. over all a baca experience read more

The hubby and I found this little gem using yelp and figured we'd give it a go. Staff is friendly and nice, and very personable. The decor is a little blah, but overall the atmosphere is comfortable. The menu has so many different options and they all sound so delicious it's hard to pick one. The food was fantastic and we both really enjoyed our meals. Refills were prompt and we were overall super pleased with this little cafe. We will definitely return. read more

Just had our 2nd breakfast visit and will go back for a 3rd. Chris (from Ice House) was excellent. Scrapple & eggs were great and my wife liked the potato cakes. read more

Ate breakfast there yesterday no social distancing staff kept removing their masks and it literally took 40 minutes to get our order taken! Won't be going back!! read more

If you are in no hurry and have time to waste I would recommend this cafe. My experience was,11:30 am on a weekday, approximately 15 patrons, 2 waitresses and 1 maybe 2 incompetent cooks. Waited 35 minutes for a children's portion of mac & cheese which I would bet 100% was kraft mac & cheese out of the box and also one pancake and two pieces of bacon for a child. Five minutes later I finally received my oatmeal which was more like oatmeal soup. Total wait time 40 minutes. Five young men walked in n ordered their food 10 minutes after we did and they got their food first. Most frustrating experience ever and I will never return. Do not recommend. read more

After reading the reviews, we tried this place for the first time. The service was very friendly but seemed a little overwhelmed. We had to ask multiple times for a beverage refill and I was never offered more hot water for my tea. The food was good, nice variety in the menu if you are looking for diner food for a reasonable price. They also offer daily specials, but those were much more expensive than the regular items. I would eat here again, but wish the environment was more relaxed/comfortable. It is sparse and not very warm and the noise level could get loud at times. read more

Horrible Customer Service. Do not order using door dash. There is no way to select what soup you are getting and when you ask them to call you, they ignore the instructions... i called to find out what soup was put in my order since they never called me and was given attitude and hung up on. Absolutely unacceptable especially if there is a dietary restriction, which there is and now have to get a soup I did not order and cannot eat. read more

Well every single time (5 times in a row now) I've ever gotten take out or DoorDash the food feels like they just took it out of a ice chest, If you can't do takeout just don't do takeout please, I've thrown more food away than I've eaten here recently. Who the hell puts chipped beef on the toast when it's takeout ? read more

Brooks Cafe - Chipped beef that's being delivered ... - American Near Me - Douglassville, Pennsylvania

This is by far the best brunch in the area. We come in here every Sunday and its been amazing. On the board, they have a weekly "Benedict" - it changes all the time and they are the best! best Eggs Benny in the area, bar none. The potato cakes here, are awesome. I love them well done and crispy. The inside is always nice and fluffy and tasty. The grilled sticky buns are TO DIE FOR. Served with salted whipped butter. its a MUST. Great place! read more

Bad all around. We were sat right in front of the door so were bombarded with cold air every time it opened. Our waitress was unfriendly and downright rude. Felt like she literally couldn't stand our existense. Food was sub par. The quality of the food is low but theyre prices dont seem to mimic it. I will never return based on the horrific service alone read more

Best breakfast in Douglassville! The staff is young and service can sometimes be "ok" but the food is great and everyone is super nice!

REALLY GREAT PLACE! The staff are super friendly and the POTATO CAKES are the BEST! There are always nice breakfast and lunch specials. Very reasonable prices and fair portions as well. read more

Can't say enough good about this place. Have been there many times for breakfast. Food, service and prices are great. Definitely recommend.

The waitresses are very nice And the food is great. A little expensive but that's inflationa fault not theres

Had cold sticky bun french toast, butter didn't even melt. Biscuits weren't baked all the way/cold, as well as the omelette we had. Banana bread coffee was good. Our waitress didn't ask if we wanted to take our remaining food with us. We were asked twice how our food was, we said ok. If someone says ok wouldn't you ask more? You work hard all week to have a good hot meal. We didn't get it. read more

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

Best breakfast in town! We love going to Brooks, not only is the food delicious the service is even better!

3.5 stars. Was really excited to have a brunch spot in town! I went on a Sunday morning with my boyfriend and his friend. The place wasn't crowded at all but it was Memorial Day weekend. Service was pleasant and the food arrived quickly so I can't complain there. I got the deep fried French toast which was the special that day. I wasn't totally into it but I will probably be back to try something else from the menu! read more

not a single reply from the owner on any bad reviews..it is as if they truly don't give a damn ...which is why the service and atmosphere is the same. read more

Its one of my favorite breakfast places the food great and service is fast. Although to me it's the crepes that really make a go to for me. If you go there always look to your left there is a chalk board with the specials on it. read more

Sadly what used to be my "local always go to place" that I could tell others about...my local get great food & great service at a reasonable price place is no longer a cafe I can wholeheartedly recommend. The food is still good ~ the chef today made an awesome special ; however the service was really poor. Trying to get service from the waitress eventually became comical as another table made a comment after watching us trying to get her attention numerous times. Because I had always felt like a welcomed customer in the past, I took the time to tell the waitress why we were unhappy with her service. Her sarcastic & totally insincere response along with the Visible shaking of her head as she left the table, was a clear sign that she could have cared less about the service she gave. read more

Everything on the menu sounds amazing. I had a very hard time deciding what to order. I loved my meal (omelette and home fries) and I especially loved the homemade biscuits. I will be going back to continue trying other meals. You will not be disappointed. It will likely become your new favorite place to eat breakfast or lunch! read more

Boom boom boom let me here you say way ooh (way ooh!) LOL! love love love their boom boom shrimp salad! Great cafe with great service. Never had a bad experience here. We come here at least every week and every time we love the food! If you're craving a fulfilling and tasty meal look no further than Brooks Cafe! I just wish they were open later. Me and my baby peanut would be so happy if they were, especially when he/she is craving boom boom shrimp salad. read more

Hands down, THE best breakfast place in the area. Everything has a home made taste from the amazing biscuits all the way down to the omelettes. The staff could not be more attentive and friendly. Be sure to get there early on weekends because it gets crowded. read more
