    Was looking for a Sunday breakfast spot and the Cafe weekend did not disappoint. To start I had their special latte. It was topped with an espresso foam, a little sweet but delicious. My husband had the fresh squeezed oj, how can you go wrong with fresh squeezed?!? We both had the omelette, I had the western he had the meat lovers, both were large and tasty. I am gf, they had no toast option and they usually put the home fries and hash browns in flour to crisp them up. I requested that they not and they were still tasty. I recommend for breakfast.

    This place is so cute! So tiny but full of flavor. Everything seems to be made with so much patience. The best part were the pancakes and the drinks. We ordered the omelettes, and they were good but the eggs might it been a bit too well for our tasting, and the potatoes a bit too crispy. The service was slow, but it was worth it once the food came out.

    Egg and Cheese Sandwich

    Cute all-day cafe with range of food and drink options but primarily breakfast and brunch-oriented. Staff were super friendly and welcoming and prices were very reasonable (I can't remember the last time I paid less than $4 for a breakfast sandwich!). Food-wise, they make a solid, basic breakfast sandwich but the pancakes, croffles and other baked goods are the standouts. The chocolate chip pancakes were excellent - sweet without being too cloying and delightfully fluffy!

    Coffee cups are great!

    Came with friends for breakfast. I'm from out of town, but my friends are the regulars, so they were bantering with the waiter. Folks are very friendly and helpful here! There's tables mostly for smaller groups, but they easily accommodated us and another large group. I ordered the fig prosciutto panini, which was admittedly smaller than what I was expecting but delicious for breakfast. Coffee saved me from my early morning flight too-- effective and tasty. I think my only knock was that I'd have hoped my particular dish was a bit more generous in portioning, but given a look at the other things my friends ordered, this looks like it's not necessarily the norm across dishes. Great quick bite-- parking is pretty easy on this street in the morning too, so I'd recommend!

    This was our first time coming here, and upon entering both the waiter and waitress were very friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations. There were a lot of options for food and it was hard to decide! They have everything from Shakshuka to their "croffle"! ( croffle- croissant waffle with different toppings) We shared a Nutella and hazelnut croffle, and had omelets. The croffle was incredible- very decadent- and the omelets were very generous with their portions and had toast and home fried potatoes! It's a small spot, but doesn't feel crowded at all overall great experience and would come back!

    The cutest little cafe I've ever been too! I found this on Yelp and was ready to try after seeing the menu. On a Sunday morning , once checked in we got seated within 5 mins ( lucky us ). Once seated in this little cafe, our server immediately greeted us and got our drink order. I had to flip a coin as all the coffees sounded amazing. I went with a hot caramel macchiato and probably the best I've ever had and I'm a coffee junky 10/10. Then the food - holy wow ! The tables around us had me drooling and then our food came and it was so good! Portion was huge and we left so full. The western omelette was HUGE and came with a side of home fries and your choice of bread. I decided on sour dough which was very good. Strawberry pancakes looked like the viral fluffy pancakes and covered in sweet strawberries. If I lived here, I'd come every Sunday ! I loved the ambiance, the tiny space and the food and coffee . 10/10

    Opens really early. Boston cheesesteak panini is a great sandwich. Croffle is fluffy and sweet. Would come back

    Matcha Einspanner and coffee Einspanner
    Arianna L.

    Came back and the food didn't hit the same. Matcha einspanner was a little too sweet for my liking and the toowoomba panini was a little heavy. We did have to quickly leave so I appreciated them rushing the order for us! Small space but they have an extensive menu so maybe other items are better! Got the oriental salad and the portion was very generous

    Einspänner coffee
    Katherine V.

    I've been coming to Cafe Weekend for coffee for a while now -- the Einspänner is still my go-to and never disappoints. Finally made it in early enough to try the food since it's usually packed. Be warned: the menu is a lot. It's slightly overwhelming at first and the portion sizes aren't super clear. The space is also pretty tight -- they've definitely maximized seating -- so it feels cramped when it's busy. Service had that subtle "we need this table back" energy. Not outright rushing, but you can feel the turnover pace. Food-wise, the specialties looked massive, so we ordered less of those and opted for sides instead... which somehow ended up being even more food than we expected. Portions are generous. Everything was good and solid, nothing mind-blowing, but I appreciated that it wasn't greasy. The hashbrowns were a standout -- more reminiscent of a Jewish potato latke than your typical diner hashbrown, and absolutely worth ordering. Overall: great coffee, solid breakfast, big portions. Come early, eat efficiently, and you'll enjoy it.

    Came here for dinner and enjoyed the pasta I had! They have other italian food too as well as other options. Really good portions and the atmosphere was very casual.

    Weekend Special
    Joe J.

    Really solid breakfast overall and definitely a place I'd come back to. The pancake was unique and super fluffy, easily one of the highlights of the meal. On the weekend special, the portion size was generous, especially with the amount of meat included. Tons of bacon, sausage, and ham, which made it feel like a great value. The eggs were supposed to be over easy but a little less runny than i would've liked. The drop the eggs sandwich came with nice fluffy eggs and paired really well with the special sauce, which was sweet and delicious. The weekend latte was excellent. Tasted like it was 1000 calories in the best way possible The only downside was the potatoes. They were pretty hard and lacked seasoning and flavor, which stood out compared to how strong everything else was. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with a few standout items and just a small miss on the side. Definitely worth checking out, especially for brunch.

    Drop the Eggs and Drip Coffee
    Katie D.

    Great customer service! When we mentioned it was our first visit, they happily recommended a few dishes. Pictured here is the **Drop the Egg**, which was delicious--definitely on the spicier side if you enjoy a bit of heat. I also ordered the **Western Omelette**, which was hearty and very satisfying, perfect if you're looking for something more filling.

    This is a casual food spot that is a popular brunch spot. Even on a weekday, it gets quite crowded here. The staff were nice to us and allowed us to move to a table once someone left but this place is seriously small that I would say a party of 2 ppl is the max I would be comfortable with here. I got a hash brown sandwich and it is everything you can ask for in a carb heavy brunch item. Although it is mostly savory, it was a nice touch of sweetness in the sauce and bread that breaks up the saltiness. Drinks wise, both my friend and I were not a fan. They were pretty basic with nothing special about them and could've done without them. Matcha latte was super sweet and is not made with great matcha.

    Is there parking?

    There is street parking near by but I didn't see any bear by lots .

    If we go on a weekend morning will it be impossible to get a table?

    Came here at 10am on a Saturday. Busy but not impossible for 1 to 2 people. We sat at the counter with no wait!

The crispy cauliflower was my favorite dish of the night, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni bolognese was solid and comforting.

The salad was amazing, super fresh and arugula was crisp, tomatoes fresh and the drizzle atop the mozarella was perfect. Beautifully presented. My daughter really liked her gnocchi, perfectly cooked, (soft but has a little bite to it!) with amazing red sauce. The interesting thing is she found two random pieces of chicken in her dish but no worries, we just placed them aside. Overall a wonderful experience, we'd come back again for the flavors if we are in this area.
