What an adorable and great find. A great selection of breakfast items. I got poached eggs with their homemade corned beef hash and hollandaise on the side. A hugh portion! Coffee was very tasty and most places have a burnt coffee taste - not this place. Very busy for a Friday morning at 8:30 but staff were quick and efficient. I don't live near here but I would highly recommend! If I had to say "what was missing", maybe homemade muffins on display! I love a grilled muffin! I would not be able to eat a muffin along with this hugh breakfast but I like to think that I can.

Western omlete

Almost perfect breakfast! My picky husband loves their western omelet! Perfect flavor and fluffy texture! Excellent crispy home fries! My Beni is really good, but I only wish the use fresh Spinach instead frozen one. Service was easy, quick, and friendly. The place is also clean, bright, and very family-oriented! You won't regret if you decide to com

very firm poached egg, not runny at all

parking - we pulled up across the from the restaurant. there's plenty of free on street parking. the restaurant does have a parking lot behind the building but we found that parking on the street was easier. ambiance - stopped in for a late breakfast at lunch time. the place was pretty full, one of the friendly servers told us we can sit anywhere we like. we grabbed a booth which still had plexi glass on top of the bench to separate us from the table adjacent. food - we both ordered eggs benedict and a short stack of pancakes to share. both plates of benedict were overcooked. the eggs were basically hard boiled eggs but in a poached form, i uploaded a few pics for reference. the home fries were good; lightly seasoned and slightly crispy.

Corned beef crispy with hot scrabble eggs. With pancakes instead of toast.

This place is very warm and friendly. The food is awesome but the service is the best. The girls are all very quick and do an amazing job when the place is packed on a Saturday morning. I have moved away, but will drive back into town to enjoy the homemade corn beef scrambled egg special with jalapeños.

Breakfast Bowl with over medium eggs and rye toast

Yummy! I've gotten takeout from here a few times and it's been really good thus far. I've tried their eggs Benedict with veggies, everything was on point except the hollandaise was a little runny. Also tried the brown eyed Suzy. The bread was kind of sweet for me (wasn't expecting it to be like that, but that's on me) but good nonetheless. Today I had my favorite thus far -- breakfast bowl with over medium eggs and rye toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were nice and cheesy. This cafe is a solid choice that I will certainly have many more times

Today was my second time ordering breakfast from here. I ordered a make your own omelette w/ bacon, provolone cheese, and spinach which came w/ tater tots and an English muffin. My food was ready in a timely manner. They definitely overdid it with the bacon, it was just way too much. I also didn't like that my English muffin had butter on it and the fact that my food was greasy overall but I was hungry and it did the job.

I attended an event at this hotel last year, and the food and drink (from One Bistro) were pretty…read moregood, so I returned to try it in January. It was achingly cold outside, and the bar was absolutely packed, so I was seated in a somewhat remote corner. I ordered a mojito, but they were out of mint, so I chose a scotch, and immediately ordered an onion soup to start, which was decent, but not as hot as I would have liked, and the broth was a bit one dimensional (clearly, it was made too quickly without the complexity of caramelized onions). I soon learned that the particular seafood entrees (2 in particular) were sold out, and I ended up with a salad (kind of unremarkable, but again, not inedible). The problem is that I ended up abandoned by the waitress, so no desserts, no additional drinks, and no check. I literally had to wander about the restaurant for at least 5 to 10 minutes just to ask for someone (anyone!) to bring me a check, which eventually arrived. On my way out, I told the hostess that they should try to keep an eye on patrons, as (if I were not of some moral principles) one could simply leave without paying. Her classic response was "yeah, we're real busy." I refrained from telling her "all the more reason to keep a watchful eye," as it was clear she wasn't listening.

Service was slow. It took about 40 mins to get food. We…read moreordered crab cakes for appetizers and scallops for main meal. Food was ok, not memorable.

Minas Cafe refused to donate a gift card for a raffle. So disrespectful and unprofessional. John was a college sociology and business major involved in urban community service and interested in social work. He was a high school student leader, a class officer, and a student representative to the School Committee, Governance Council and the MA Dept. of Education. John was a high school athlete who played basketball and soccer; he was the Captain of WHS Varsity basketball. John received many awards: Boy's State, Outstanding Service Award, and Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators Association Student Achievement Award for School Leadership. He was the recipient of the Lorusso and Rossi Scholarships. ​ More important than his many accomplishments, John has been described by many as an exemplary human being, who was kind, caring and sensitive beyond his years. He made everyone feel as though they were his best friend. As a lover of music, particularly jam bands and unique artists, he was well known for copying lyrics and songs for the enjoyment of family and friends. John's sense of humor, easy going disposition and warm smile charmed everyone. Still everyday, he is a love and inspiration for his family.

This is a self-service buffet style cafe for most of the food. You take your place off a stack and service yourself. We each took rice, carrots, lettuce and beans. At the end of this short line, there are meat carvers and servers who will service you your meat choices at any degree of cooking: rare, medium rare, etc. Alice had chicken, and I had beef and sausage. Once your place is filled to your choosing at the meat station, it's weighed, and you're presented with a hand-written receipt with the cost. We ate very well for very little money. Our foods were delicious. There are beverages and a bar. We arrived at Noon with approximately 10 other people at tables. By 1pm there were at least 30 people eating. I formed the impression that many were regulars. The staff are very friendly, and this has to be one of most economical and delicious meals I've had this year. We both plan to return.
