Amazing breakfast food. If you're looking for an original diner type of vibe, this is it. Their…read moreiced coffees are incredibe as well. I was visiting my friend who lives here in the area and he lives just around the corner and I was so jealous that he is in walking distance. Their service was awesome too, the young lady was super nice and sweet. I would definitely other options as it was hard for me to decide on just one thing.

Since it was so early I was able to run in and park at one of the meter spots since they don't have parking. I think there is a lot next door. Unfortunately they only had one girl working the front and a chef in the back. I'd think for a weekend shift they would have two up front. I had to wait a little extra longer than expected when I had already paid and was far past my pick up time. The space seemed small but did have a handful of people. When I was leaving I realized there was a whole back part for seating. Not sure if I'd come back again considering I don't think their espresso machine has ever worked and breakfast sandwich was fair. Lots of great options on the menu though!

I said totios soda lime please.. she made my drink and put it in front of me and walked away, I'm guessing she's had a rough day but suddenly I'm supposed to have a poor experience coz she had a bad day... but then I noticed everyone were treated similarly while she continued having a frown on her face. I overheard people contemplating tipping. But maybe the problem is deeper.. maybe she's used to making tip money regardless of the service provided..

The space was diner-esque and felt relatively clean which overall was nice. Our orders were taken pretty quickly and the food was out in a reasonable time as well. Prices were a bit steep honestly for the price, but quality was decent. I enjoyed the pancakes the most - good size and fluffy. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back again for brunch. Parking was easy to find on a Sunday and the vibes felt really nice overall - thanks, Classic Cafe!

I arrived an hour before closing. I was given a menu and coffee. Ordering was very easy. The food came out in a timely manner. They have all the classic diner options. While the food was great, the service wasn't as welcoming. They did not come to check in or refill my coffee like they were to others. Whether that is because of me dining alone, me coming close to closing time or due to my race, I guess we will never know. I did go up to the counter request more coffee and a to-go box. Expect to pay ~$15-20 for food and coffee.

Although, the iced coffee and cold brew were good. The breakfast sandwich was the star of the show though, the Egg & Feta sandwich was perfectly balanced with greens, feta, fluffy egg and delicious bread. I was happy to see they had a few tables outside because inside was crowded and I was there alone and didn't want to take up an entire indoor table.

It was over a month ago but I still want to review as it was a wholesome experience, every staff member that stopped by the table was full of energy and extremely nice to us and my kids.

Side Note: We did sit close to the food prep area and some of the workers were shouting foul language and we have a young son. I didn't mention it to anyone but hopefully management sees this and addresses it.
