Went there Thursday- arrived at 10am. There were 4 adults & 2 children in our group. There was a 15…read moreminute wait. It was busy & outside seating wasn't open yet because it had just rained. Very nice decor inside and out, great vibe and was very clean. Once seated, our waitress took our drink order. We ordered 2 Abuelita chocolate lattes, 1 cafe de olla, 1 water and 1 juice for a child. She took our order and our food was served 10 minutes later! Our orders were: chilaquiles Rojas, enchilada suizas de pollo, entomatadas de arrrachera, flautas de tinga, scrambled egg and a dessert- beso de angel. I ordered the flautas, they were covered with an avocado cream sauce and some pickled onions in a chipotle flavored red chile. The flautas were crispy, avocado sauce was delicious, I didn't care for the onions- it had a "bold" taste- different from other pickled onions I've tasted. The red chile was good with a slight chipotle flavor. They were stuffed with shredded chicken and were very good. I tasted every dish and here's my opinion- red chilaquiles were ok- red chile was good, I feel they needed a little more chile as they were a tad dry. The beans were ok. The enchilad suizas were good the green sauce was flavorful, my niece did find a hair in it so they made her a new plate and profusely apologized. The entomatadas were good, the arrachera was ok- some pieces a little chewier than others and the salsa they sat in was yummy. The beso de angel was delicious. It's a thin piece of cake with flan on top covered with a caramel cream sauce and nuts- or that's what I tasted and considered it to be. The abuelita chocolate lattes were very strong and sweet- the girls didn't like them as much. The cafe de olla was very good. I tasted it without cream and it was good. Overall great experience, great service and great vibe. There was a young man that attended to us as well- Jose. He was very friendly and so helpful. He made our experience worth every penny spent!! In asking everyone how they liked their food, they said it was good- not big fans of the lattes. My niece said their desserts were delicious along with the coffee- she had been there before. My sis in law had invited me here to celebrate my birthday. They mentioned this to our waitress and I received a complimentary piece of cake with a candle. Very nice gesture. I think it's a little pricey but then again, that's just my opinion. Will definitely return to try something different. It was packed when we left with people outside on the patio.

The service; the sat us as a table of 12 fairly quickly. I appreciated that and also understand the inconvenience of such a large party. We did have to wait a hot minute to actually get service after we sat. Which made the experience less enjoyable. The food; this is where they are missing a mark. The presentation was phenomenal, but it failed to capture the same reaction on flavor. It was missing seasoning, and a je ne sais quoi.. Cafe the olla also leaves a bit more wanting too.. however I believe their strong suit might be the sweets.

The atmosphere has a small diner vibe, and the service was excellent. We had our coffee and drinks brought out within a few minutes of sitting down. I ordered the Benedict omelette with no spinach. The hollandaise sauce was definitely the weak spot of the meal. It didn't taste like true hollandaise, had an odd chemical taste, and was surprisingly too spicy. However, the biscuits and gravy and the potatoes were really good and made up for it. Even with the issue with the hollandaise sauce, the amazing service and solid food still earn this place 5 stars. I'll definitely be back, but will try something other than the Benedict omelette.

It's cozy, inviting, and the overall vibe actually put me in the mind of First Watch. They've created a space that feels like somewhere you could sit down, relax, and enjoy a nice breakfast or brunch. I tried the PB&J Protein Shake. It was good, but would I personally order it again? Probably not. Now, the Cookie Butter Latte Frappe with extra whip? DELICIOUS. That one absolutely gets a repeat order from me. I also took a look at the menu--the sign encourages you to grab one and look it over--and I have to say, several of the food items sound really good. So next time, I do plan to sit down, order some food, and give the full dining experience a try. Now, here's where there is definitely room for improvement: customer service. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and the interaction felt a little standoffish. Nothing terrible happened, but hospitality matters. When you have a cozy atmosphere and a promising menu, the customer service should match that same energy. A simple "Welcome in!" and a warmer interaction can make a major difference in someone's overall experience. There's a lot I like about Penny Cafe, and I definitely see the potential. I'll be back to try the food and that Cookie Butter Latte Frappe again. Hopefully, on my next visit, the customer service will be just as inviting as the atmosphere.

The dim lighting works perfectly with the décor, and the metal entrance door gives the place a cool, slightly old-school vibe. There's plenty of parking, plus street parking, so no need to circle the block 15 times questioning your life choices. Now, the important part: the food. They have a really good variety of lunch specials at very reasonable prices. The food overall is tasty, but the pizza is definitely the star of the show. Artisan-style, full of flavor, and with a great balance between portion size and quality. The drinks are good too, with plenty of options. The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms--which, yes, absolutely matters! And whatever you do, save room for dessert. Seriously. It's a great way to finish the meal... even if five minutes earlier you swore you were completely full. Definitely a nice find, and a place I'd visit again.

The Bruschetta is really light with amazing flavor, small tomatoes drizzled with balsamic, the bread is soft but sturdy enough to hold the tomato. Wings! We opted for the lemon pepper wings; perfectly crispy delicious flavor. The main course we shared the Margherita pizza! OMG, the crust is so light & buttery with fresh mozzarella, not too much sauce. Andrea's service is great, the decor & restaurant is cozy with a warm feeling. If it wasn't for the 13 school staff wanting to split each check & arguing who got what, we could've paid. I felt badly for Andrea.

I decided to visit this restaurant today after seeing all this amazing reviews…read more Well, let me tell you my experience. The restaurant was pretty clean, maybe because it was early, finding a parking spot was more complicated than usual, you have to park on Van Buren or any other street and walk to the place. It's not a super big place, but okay to enjoy your meal. The cashier was very nice and helpful. I ordered to go because of the parking issue, otherwise I would've described more about their kindness. I ordered their famous menudo and tamales rojos and verdes de pollo. The menudo was pretty clean, not excessive fat, smelled like it supposed to and also had pata, it was not very tasty I can actually say it was pretty bland to be a menudo, but I fixed because I was home, added some spices and some chili, at the end it was better. The tamales are actually good, but they're missing some salsa because when you swallowing are very dry, they just need some more salsa and they'll be great, they're tasty and has a pretty good amount of meat too. Would I recommend you this place, yes but don't have high expectations about flavor. I might go back just to try something else.

In addition to coffee, breakfast, pastries, and more, they also sell produce and baked goods. I was greeted right away. The staff was friendly and helpful.
