You order at the counter (or kiosk), pay, sit down wherever you find a seat and you are told when your food is ready. You pick it up at the counter. We each got an omelette. I got a veggie omelette with English muffin (60 cents extra) and oatmeal. My partner got a bulgogi omelette with potatoes and English muffin. There's a lot of food there and it was good. The coffee was "fine," not great. And it was a bit cold inside the restaurant.

We got takeout for lunch yesterday…read more My partner got a turkey sandwich, which was well-stuffed on a very fresh bread. They got it with lettuce, tomato and onion and were well pleased. Although they commented that a pickle slice/wedge accompanying the sandwich would have been nice, since the place is a deli. I got Emma's Protein Bowl, which was a large bowl with Kale, Brown Rice/Quinoa Blend, Falafel, Edamame, Chickpeas, Corn, Cucumber, Grape Tomatoes, Avocado, Black Lentils, Kalamata Olives, and Hummus. I got the Italian dressing on the side. The salad and dressing were good. The kale was crisp and flavorful and the veggies and other ingredients were fresh. The falafel was the one disappointment. The Bowl comes with three falafel balls. Each was hard and dry. There was flavor in there, but the toughness and dryness masked it. I ended up throwing one of the three balls away. Ugh. I gave Bean Bag 5 stars for our first visit and am not going to change the score because of the falafel. I thought about it, but everything else was very good. The Staff were friendly both times we visited.

I read the reviews about Nick's and decided we had to try this place. What a fantastic little neighborhood gem, brought me back in time to a real old school diner. We were greeted by multiple employees as we walked in, everyone was so friendly. We had immediate and excellent service by Andy, and we both had omelettes that were absolutely delicious! While paying our bill at the register I immediately sensed the young lady assisting us was part of the ownership and I was right, it was Nick's daughter Heather! It was a really pleasure to talk to her, the whole place has such a great vibe, and as I've already mentioned the food was excellent! We will 100% be returning to Nick's and hopefully not in the too distant future! Thank you Nick's!!!

Since this was my 1st visit, I decided to go with some flair "from" the US by ordering the Breakfast Platter, which came with 2 eggs, homefries, bacon and toast for about $11. To be perfectly honest, I went with a US breakfast bc I did not know what a lot of things were in the display case. However, many of the items did look delicious. While my breakfast platter was fine, I expected a bit more potatoes. Also, I requested eggs over easy but received eggs over medium (a minor issue, not worth making too much of a fuss). The service was pretty standard. Perhaps, I will return to try some of the Latin American breakfast items.

When we arrived, there were a few spaces available in their small parking lot, so we had no trouble parking. The shop is charming. They sell a few select beers and wines so it was fun to peruse them as we waited on line to order. Their menu is on boards behind the counter and they also have paper menus, which is helpful to those of us who need glasses! The staff was super friendly and helpful since I hadn't been there before. A+ to them for offering their coffee/espresso drinks in decaf! I had a vanilla latte and it had a deep, rich flavor. One of the best I've had in the area. For food, my friend had the bagel and lox and it was huge! She had to take half home. I had the garlic Boursin eggs. It was a nice pile of delicately cooked eggs, but I wished there was more garlic Boursin flavor. Still really good. It came with salad greens in a light vinaigrette, sauteed mushrooms, and avocado. Very nice dish. They have a serve-yourself water station and, though they bring out your order to your table, you must go get your cutlery and napkins. They have a nice number of tables for a small place and we were lucky to snag one. Overall, a really nice experience and I plan to go back with my husband next time.

The avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg topped with Japanese black sesame seeds is my go-to order, and the sandwiches are consistently good. Their cocktails are excellent, and the bar side makes a great venue for private parties or larger gatherings. I am apparently in the miniscule minority, but I find the drip coffee a bit too dark and somehow slightly burnt for my taste. Fortunately, they make an outstanding Dirty London Fog and a wonderful London Fog Chai Latte, either of which I'd happily order instead. All manner of alternative "milks" are available as are a pretty decent selection of local beers in their cooler if you are grabbing take out. Be prepared for a wait on weekends--this is one of Takoma Park's most popular brunch destinations. Like many cafés these days, it's a favorite of laptop-wielding remote workers, so tables can be at a premium. In my experience, though, solo diners are often gracious about moving to the communal table when they notice [or more likely are asked polietly if they wouldn't mind moving] a larger group waiting. It's just one more example of the friendly neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
