Very saddened I have to write this. I really want to give this place five stars because the owners are genuinely kind, the customer service is warm, the ambiance is quaint, and the food--especially the sweet crepes--is excellent. Unfortunately, repeated simple mistakes with special requests have made each visit more disappointing. I truly don't want to find another café, which is why I hope this feedback is taken seriously. Please pay closer attention to special requests, as they make a big difference to loyal customers. read more

Not sure why this location is marked "Permanently Closed". It is definitely open. I came here with 2 friends on a Saturday close to 1pm. There were a couple tables open. I got the Hot Mama and a coffee. The coffee was average. But the Hot Mama was pretty good. Not sure how to describe it aside from being a flavor bomb. I don't think the grits were particularly cheesy but there was cheese somewhere on the biscuits. It seemed like the owner knew some of the regulars. She came out from behind the counter when she was done making drinks to check on customers. Overall, I would come back to try some more items on the menu. read more

Food is so tasty each time we dine there. The ambiance is cute and casual. When you entered wait to be seated. The tables are numbered. There was a glitch today with the delivery of my order to the table. Two out of four were served, then they came with the third order. When I thought mine was coming, it was my husband's extra sides and last minute potatoes. Lately the waitress noticed that I had no food and checked. My order was the French toast and bacon, which is why it felt like a glitch and we'll be back. It's gonna be alright read more

Cool cafe. Plenty of seating, warm homey vibe. Sometimes cafes with extensive menus are a bad thing, but these folks are the exception. Customer service was Elite. Multiple hosts checking on each table even managers. The food came out fast, everything felt and tasted fresh. A definite place to come visit. Me and Mami ordered the following: Her -Ice Nutella late - 8/10: not too sweet. Good balance, some might want it to be sweeter. -Chorizo burrito - 9/10: extremely flavorful. Would be a 10 if there was more of whatever sauce the chorizo was cooked with. Me: Tropical blend smoothie - 8/10: a good and simple fresh smoothie Santa Fe omelette - 10/10: Wouldn't change a thing. If you love sauce, some more go the crema can be added but isn't needed. Try this Home fries - 10/10: well seasoned and perfectly crisp. Curious George French toast - 7/10: Wished it was a little softer ie crispy outside soft inside. Felt like it was a bit overcooked, hard to cut. Amazing toppings and doesn't need syrup. Food rating: 52/60 Customer service rating: 15/10 read more

The food was absolutely delicious - the crepes I ordered had the best texture and came with fresh, delicious filings and toppings. By far my favorite thing was the coffee though - the EZ special latte with condensed milk will haunt my dreams! I'm almost glad we were visiting from New York, otherwise I would be stopping by for this coffee every weekend. The place was pretty busy and the food did take a while to come out, you order at the counter and then find a free table. Even though it was busy (Mother's day), the tables continued to open up pretty quickly throughout our time there. The cafe itself is so cute and they were setting up some outdoor seating that would be such a pleasure to enjoy your coffee and breakfast at in the summer! read more

It's good for breakfast and lunch. . Very plenty portions. Service was good. And the lady (I think she is the owner) came and interested us which was nice! . I like the kimchi fries and chicken rice soup. It wasn't what I expected but it was good. Tomato soup was thick and I think the presentation was on the wrong bowl. It was difficult to eat on this bowl... read more

A few steps above your average cafe. The location is a little hidden so you would want to use a GPS or you could definitely miss it. I grabbed a breakfast meal the other day. Decided I would stay and eat there since the ambiance was so cute and welcoming. There was no wait and plenty of seating around 10am. It's self seating but they also help with seating if you have any questions. There's a parking lot but there isn't much parking since these business aren't servicing people who would be staying long. I will say the staff was very friendly and kind. I would go back and have breakfast anytime. Three stars because the eggs were not great and I had to ask for utensils and condiments. read more

Good brunch spot! Nice laid back atmosphere and very approachable. It wasn't too crowded during our visit and we felt quite relaxed. I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich that was essentially egg, cheese, crispy hash brown, and a tasty sauce. I thought it was a unique dish with flavors that worked quite well together. Service was great as well. Enjoyed it! read more

We had such a nice brunch here --they have an extensive menu of classic breakfast and lunch options. In addition, they have more than a few Korean dishes and crepes. I ended up ordering the Baltimore crepe with an egg. Crab and Old bay....or was delicious. This is a second location of Cafe. EZ. service and food were OUTSTANDING!! read more

I have to admit, when I visited this place shortly after they opened a few years ago, I didn't care for it and never returned. But this week a friend wanted to meet there mid-week for brunch so I agreed. I am so sorry Cafe Ez! This visit was fabulous!! Our server was so sweet and took care of our every need. I ordered the stuffed omelet with potatoes and toast, my friend had the "Lola" crepe with strawberries and blueberries. It looked luscious!! My serving was so much, I took half home to be had for breakfast the next day. My friend and I had a lot of catching up to do and the staff was gracious enough to clear our table and allow us all the time we needed. I will definitely make this place part of my regular rotation from now on. Their 'brunch' menu is served all day. They also have some more lunch-type offerings like burgers, cheesesteaks, rice bowls, etc. read more

My friends and I went to EZ after finding it on Yelp. We were trying to go to another brunch place in the area, but it was so extremely busy that we decided to go elsewhere. EZ had such rave reviews, so we decided to try them out. They are located in a quiet, unassuming area, right behind a gas station. You would never guess that the inside was such a cute, buzzy place! It seems to be family owned, which was nice to see. We were seated immediately and a waitress came to take our drink orders. The restaurant isn't huge, but it seats plenty. It's definitely a child friendly environment, as I observed a few families with their children coming in to enjoy a meal. It's a cozy atmosphere, for sure. It's not loud and you can share this brunch time with a friend, a loved one, or a small group of friends. The menu was filled with delicious delectables- brunchy, lunchy meals. Everything from made-your-way omelettes to waffles to even Korean specialties like Bulgogi beef. We all settled on something different. One friend had turkey sausage, potatoes, eggs and the cinnamon roll French toast. She loved it all! She mentioned how perfectly well made the French toast was. My other friend had the Nutella waffle with turkey bacon and eggs. Her only complaint was that she wished she had another waffle! Her son had the chicken tenders and French fries. I thought it was a nice touch to cut the chicken into smaller pieces, which made it easier to pick up. I perused the menu for a bit and decided to try the Sassy EZ Potato Hash. It came with chorizo, cheesy eggs, potatoes, corn, beans, crema, avocado and served over homemade corn tortillas. It was SO GOOD!!! I throughly enjoyed this dish. It wasn't too filling but very satisfying! Even my friend's son approved and enjoyed a couple of bites, lol! We didn't indulge in dessert, but EZ does offer dessert crepes and other sweets. I lived that we didn't have one waiter- it's definitely a family team, so if someone took your drink order, someone else may take your food order. We had a great time and my one friend even went back twice since then! If you're in the area, please try this place out! You won't be disappointed! 5 stars. read more

If you're craving variety and want a café that literally has it all, Café EZ is the place to go. The menu is extensive--it's like they've taken every brunch craving you've ever had or even heard of and turned it into a reality. You definitely can't come here and just order ONE thing. Trust me, you'll want to try both a sweet and savory dish because the flavors are on ANOTHER level. Whether you're in the mood for pancakes, crepes, quiche, avocado toast, omelette, or something more adventurous, they have you covered. The flavors are vibrant, the ingredients are fresh, and everything is made to perfection. The one dish I didn't quite vibe with, though, was the Masala omelette. For whatever reason, it just didn't align with my flavor profile, it felt "EH," especially compared to the incredible dishes I tried on the menu. But honestly, that's the only miss. Their Dirty Chai is hands-down one of the best I've had. It's the perfect balance of spice and espresso, and I'll definitely order it every time I visit. If you're in the mood for an epic brunch experience where you can indulge in a little bit of everything, Café EZ is the place to go. It's a great spot for mixing up your usual order and trying something new--and I can't wait to return and explore even more of their menu! read more

The sassy was what I ordered, and the food was very fresh and filling. Some parts of the potato were a bit burnt, but I didn't mind too much. I ordered a basil lemonade as well and it was very refreshing had the perfect amount of sweetness and sourness. The workers greeted us as we came in and were so kind. The seats are spacious enough and had lots of room between tables. read more

My family stopped by to grab a quick lunch after h-mart, but we regretted it afterwards. The only table available was sticky from syrup. Luckily, I had my diaper bag and baby wipes did the trick. We got spring rolls, a cheese steak, and banh mi, 2 drinks, and paid over $50 after tax/tip. The spring rolls weren't bad, but it was the only decent thing we got. Both sandwiches were underwhelming, as they were only half-filled (the ends had no filling, only bread on the last inch), and they were super stingy with their ingredients. I think my husband asked for extra meat, but it was still scantily given. The sodas we got were flat. Overall, it was a waste of time and money and it was very disappointing, because the previous establishment years ago had decent banh mis. read more

Decided to come here on a whim with 2 of my daughters and it was awesome. The food was super tasty and as a non pork eater I was thrilled at the turkey bacon options even for the loaded fries. (It's a small thing that means a lot to someone like me.) the atmosphere felt like a kitschy kitchen diner vibe and overall I love this little tucked away gem and will be back for more! read more

DELICIOUS!! The food tasted great! The service was not bad considering they were mostly college kids and may not be as efficient as you would see at a nice restaurant. It was a nice cozy place to eat, will be going back often. read more

Totally randomly stumbled on this place and decided to give it a shot for brunch when we were in the area based on good YELP reviews. SO GLAD we did. We had a fabulous brunch! Our waitress gave great recommendations. I had the huevos rancheros which was actually one of the best I've ever had. My friend who is vegetarian had the grilled cheese Benny which was also delicious. For dessert we shared the creme brulee French toast. Amazing! What a hidden gem! I'd come back in a heartbeat! read more

The spot can throw you off a bit when you walk in but it's some great food, at great prices and with attentive service from the ladies behind the bar.

High key obsessed with Cafe EZ 2 This is their second location (hence the name) - their first spot is in Ellicott City. They're officially one of my go-to spots for breakfast/brunch. Here's everything my friend and I got this time around: Santa-Fe Omelet ($14) - perfect portion size + stuffed with TONS of goodies and served home fries & toast. You can also get salad or grits if you prefer! Cinnamon Roll French Toast ($13) - SO stinkin' good. If you're craving something sweet, I highly recommend getting this. Minje and I got this to share as a third dish, and I feel like I ate most of it, lol. 10/10. You can also pay an extra $7 to make it a platter and get eggs, meat and home fries/grits. Havana Crepe ($15) - hearty and big! This was stuffed with chicken, chorizo, cheese, and egg then smothered in sour cream, avocado, salsa, and chipotle sauce. Nice and flavorful, highly recommend. They're known for their crepes so make sure you get a savory or sweet one to try when you go. In addition to breakfast items, they also offer rice bowls, burgers, sandwiches and more. They used to only be open 'till lunch, but now they're offering dinner on Fridays & Saturdays. PS. They get pretty dang busy so try to get there early if you can. The wait time's never too, too crazy though! It was packed when we went, and the wait was only about 10-15 minutes. read more

The food was not bad. I thought that it was overpriced for the type of food that they served. It really is greasy spoon diner food with Cafe prices. I thought it was pricey. I saw 3 1/2 stars and thought it might be subjective. I do not recommend. read more

Food was okay. Portion size small. Flavor was bland. The atmosphere was great though.

This is my favorite breakfast place, and I come from out of state. I thought about the food for weeks before I could come back and have it again lol. The hotmama is what had me come back, it's just so messy and comforting and delicious. It has spice, crunch, creaminess, richness, and fluffiness. Everything else-- the French toast, the smoothie, and the mushroom crepe were also amazing. They've yet to disappoint! The only thing is the service is mid. The hostess is really nice but the seating situation is unclear to newcomers and they're busy so they might forget things. read more

This Cafe shows up on all of the local food blogs. I recently placed a large order for Mothers Day. The staff was so friendly with preparing our meal and making sure it was accurate. We ordered the Maryland crab cake, Sante Fe omelet, kimchi fried rice, and creme brulee pancakes. Wow everything here was delicious. The crab cakes had a nice amount of fresh lump crab meat. The creme brulee pancakes are a must order! Thick pancakes with a rich brulee sauce. I've been to the other location and I like this one more since its not as crowded. This restaurant is really clean and they have a large dining area. Portion sizes here are definitely fair. They fill each box with plenty of food. Highly recommend this Cafe for brunch or some Korean fusion dishes. read more
