Waitress was very nice. We sat outside because it was a lovely day. I got the buffalo chicken wrap. I did enjoy it. I just thought it was a little weird that they served it with a spinach wrap. I would've preferred a plain one. I didn't know that was an option or that it was coming with spinach so that would be good to know in the future cause I would definitely have preferred a different wrap, but the onion rings were delicious. Very crisp All in all a good lunch spot would recommend.

Scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrowns with onions and rye toast.

My second visit and the wait staff is so friendly. I ordered the egg deluxe. Two eggs scrambled soft, bacon, hashbrowns with onions and rye toast.

BYO breakfast sandwich

My husband and I are visiting a friend around the corner and decided to take a walk and stop by East Lake Cafe on a Saturday morning. We easily got a table outside as it was a beautiful day! Our server was very nice. We got the crab eggs benedict and the BYO bfast sandwich. Both really good!

A weekly special: Grilled Cheese Burger

I love this place! I've been coming for a while now, and the food is always great! One of the things that stands out is the Kahwa coffee they serve... one of my favorite roasters in the area. Great selection for both breakfast and lunch and a weekly special menu. The staff are some of the best in the area. They also have outdoor seating, so you can bring your dog! Today is National Cheeseburger Day, so I went with the Grilled Cheese Burger! 2 grilled cheese sandwiches of your choice on sourdough, with an 8 Oz burger in the middle!

Salad

This place felt like a neighborhood favorite. Everyone knew eachother treated us like family. The food portions are huge! We ordered salad and a turkey sandwich. They were both delicious and super filling.

I really like this cafe, and I was happy that a friend met me here on Friday, 6/3/22, for lunch. It was her first time, and my umpteenth time. Friends and I frequented the East Lake Cafe at least once a month before CoVid, and I hope to resume that schedule, especially since outside seating is available. In Friday the weather was warm, but we sat under an umbrella, and enjoyed the occasional breezes. Instead of my regular egg etc. breakfast, I ordered the special - 3 brioche waffles with whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries. It was delicious! My friend had the Eggs Benedict, and she too enjoyed her meal. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. She took good care of us. I'm looking forward to returning soon!

Stopped here for a quick breakfast on the way out of town, arrived around 8:30 and there was practically no one in the restaurant. Makes sense on a holiday morning but still seemed really empty for a Sunday morning. We ordered and were served extremely quickly. Again, makes sense since no one was there. We were sitting by the kitchen and heard microwaves going off constantly - and I honestly think a lot of our food was microwaved because the potatoes and stuff were pretty mushy. The quesadilla was okay - the way it was described in the menu I thought it would have more flavor but it was pretty much just egg and tortilla with a little ham. Not all the other stuff described in the menu. Based on other reviews I feel like maybe it was just an off day but we probably wouldn't come here again when there are better options nearby.

Stopped here with my better half for a late breakfast. Watching the menus a bit closer now that we are back in Weight Watchers after a COVID pause. Close to us and recommended by our daughter, we were in the area and decided to stop by. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Lots of patio tables but a bit too chilly for me. Service was quick. Staying away from all my favorites, I checked the point counts and decided on the Greek Omelette with spinach, tomatoes and Feta cheese, plus I added jalapeños. As a side I went for Sweet Potato Fries. Oh and unbuttered whole wheat toast (but I only ate 1/2 of a slice so most points were the fries. My wife went for, as usual, a Southwest Omelette, also adding jalapeños. I guess I have influenced her over the past 50 years! Our food came quickly. My wife raved about her omelette and she had sliced tomatoes as a side. Plus she had a piece of marble toast with strawberry jam, to match my fries. My omelette was really good, my first but definitely not my last. The winner of the meal was definitely the Sweet Potato Fries! Hot, crispy outside and soft inside. And unlike others I've had in past, nice big fries. Ummmm ummm, fantastic! Great meal, great service. Definitely a spot to come check out.

As far as breakfast choices, it was a solid spot. We chose to sit outside since it was an absolutely gorgeous morning. Everything was clean and the service incredibly friendly and fast. Everyone loved their food and left probably a little too full. The only issue were my home fries were a bit under done, but everyone else's hash browns were super crispy and delicious and they were happy to share. Not a big deal at all.

Delicious food and nice outdoor seating! About $30 for two people to eat. I recommend!

Food was good and the silverware was Clean

Great place to stop for breakfast. Ashley the waitress was friendly and gave us great service. I ordered the veggie omelette w Fruit. (Very good)We will be back.

This is me and my husband's go-to breakfast spot! They offer indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly - that's always a plus for us dog parents! The menu is extensive and offers a variety of breakfast options from bacon and eggs to waffles and Benedicts. The service is always quick and friendly! We love coming here, grabbing some breakfast with our puppy and then heading to the Oldsmar Trail. It's a must when in the area.

Pretty good

The food is mediocre at best and the price doesn't match the quality. But it's convenient when you're in a hurry.

DISAPPOINTED…read more Sausage gravy was soupy and had no flavor Asked for extra crispy bacon, but request was apparently ignored Wife asked for "Loaded French Toast" but it came to the table plain, with no fruit on top They provide cold and hard butter, which does not spread on French toast easily I don't know what happened. I've been here with a friend in the past and the food was much better.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a spot to lock up our bikes so we walked over to the Starbucks nextdoor to lock them. We went mid-week early in the morning and had no issues getting a table. The service was wonderful and our host was very kind and attentive! I wish I caught her name! A= Appearance - This place serves food like a mom and pop diner, but without the diner feel/vibe. The restaurant has a modern clean design. T= Taste - Lately I have been on a hot cocoa kick, so considering it was vacation and cold out I got one! And I'm glad I did! I liked how they did a special touch of chocolate drizzle on the whipped cream. I was having a crisis on what to order because everything sounded so good but luckily a customer next to me heard and recommended the croissant breakfast sandwich. I normally wouldn't have ordered that, but hey I was open! It paid off, it was a buttery croissant with an over medium egg (it said over hard... but in fact I was glad it was over medium because I like my yolk runny). My fiancé got the southern skillet and also enjoyed his meal. He said it was lots of food and had leftovers! Funny enough we were able to travel back with our leftovers because they gave us a bag, very nice of them!

Wife stuffed French toast with raspberries inside. Met a couple of ladies from Ohio. Recommended "bowl". Their second time in two days and ordered same both days. The added meat to the omelette were $1.50 each so, I thought that was reasonable. Extra sides of bacon were $6 each. Normal. Omelette and stuffed French toast were excellent. Waiters got tied up but no big deal. Home fries were not crispy, but good. The omelette came with horseradish mustard and salsa. Salsa was okay and ordinary. Horse mustard was fantastic.

Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered a Bellini and a combo with a Belgian waffle, eggs, and bacon. Paid $2 for a small jar of maple syrup. I don't understand why restaurants offer simple syrup for breakfast items, totally ruins a good pancake, waffle, or French toast. There's no substitute for maple, it elevates any dish and is easy to come by... I also love to see blueberry or blackberry as options. The waffle was delicious, I will certainly visit next time I'm in town, just for that!

Any number of dirty tables that she couldn't get to clean up because she was trying to serve, refill drinks, take orders, and gosh knows what else. One person doing it all for about 8 tables? Really? Now on to the food. Mind you, we have been patrons here for over 20 years, but have steadily watched this place go downhill. The chili arrived cold enough that the added cheese on top didn't melt. Then our meals arrived. The chicken tenders with Buffalo sauce actually looked & tasted like they had been soaked in grease. Buffalo sauce? Not sure what they heated up in the microwave to pass off as sauce, but it was separated & the consistency of water. Even my club sandwich was tasteless, with deli Turkey in place of the fresh turkey they used to serve. Very bland. Then to cap off what was already a horrible dining experience, they removed the grease-soaked chicken tenders from the bill because my husband did not eat them, but charged him $4 for the French fries because he DID eat those! Talk about classless customer service! Honestly, we have given Tiffany's the benefit of the doubt the last dozen or so times we have been there, but enough is enough. We had hoped that they would eventually right themselves again, but obviously that's not going to happen. They have now lost customers that have been dining there for over 20 years. We won't be back again....ever.
