Regulars joke with the waitstaff, and you'll often hear a cheerful "Coming through!" as they navigate the busy floor. It's my favorite spot for a nostalgic, no-frills breakfast.

Cute diner, busy on a Sunday morning…read more Went here to stop for some breakfast on the way back to the cities. Arrived around 10:20 on a Sunday morning and had to wait about 20 minutes. Waitstaff was very friendly. Two coffees (pay for the cup and you get a pitcher for the table), corned beef eggs Benedict, and country spuds with blueberry pancakes came out to about $51 with tax and tip. Not too bad for price. Loved that they bring the story of the diner to the table. You can read about its history while you wait for your food.

I was greeted friendly, immediately and asked if I would be dining. I replied, "No. Just an espresso. In fact I would like a Traditional Italian Macchiato (TIM)." (I lived in Italy for 5 months) The attendant asked if I would like a 16 or 20oz, at which point I explained to her what a TIM was. She assured me that would be no problem to guesstimake. 2 minutes later I was served the BEST TIM I've had since living in Italy in 1993! The espresso, the temperature, amounts of foam & steamed milk were all perfect! Later I called 517 to express to the (Owner I think) how amazing the Macchiato was, but instead unwittingly spoke to the barista that MADE my TIM. Needless to say, she got choked up & thanked me profusely. I told her, "Don't ever forget how to make that! You've nailed it!" So, thank you to unknown barista girl. If you knew how to make it...good on you! If it was the result of an "educated guess" (I assume) it was a stroke of divinely inspired genius! Congratulations to you and whoever sources your Espresso beans! Keep up the amazing work! I'll be back!
