On this crisp, sunny Saturday morning we decided to go on a local explore…read more We had thirst for a craft coffee and small breakfast. So we ventured for the first time to Brakeman's Cafe. A sweet scene across the street from the Colebrookdale Rail, we sat outside and enjoyed the quiet view. My husband ordered an Iced Caramel Fluff Coffee and my being on a chai kick lately, tried their small hot variety. Drinks came out quickly considering the line of patrons ordering and most of the indoor seating full. We sat with our number at a table outside. The brisk air was delightful and even more delightful was the rest of our breakfast. My husband ordered an Everything Bagel Sandwich with Cheddar and Sausage. He enjoyed it, said it needed some spice or sauce though. I was delighted in my pick! An Everything Bagel with the lemon-dill cream cheese. This cream cheese should be sold on its own! I'd purchase (or would love to steal the recipe!). The cream cheese was more a like a dip in consistency. Smooth, flavorful and light. This was inspo for me to try to make later and put on bagels, sandwiches and crackers (still thinking about eating it, lololol). What a wonderful start to the weekend! A local gem in Brakeman's!!

Spotted this new place while we were headed to a different restaurant, and decided to try it out…read moreinstead. I am SO glad we did because it was OUTSTANDING. It was moderately busy when we entered, and was getting rather crowded by the time we left an hour later. I ordered one of their specials -- a breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes, fresh tomato, green peppers, onions, and cheese, then wrapped in bacon and deep fried. The crispy burrito and bacon complemented the fillings nicely, and it was served with a crema sauce on the side. My dining partner got a strawberry cheesecake crepe, which had a generous amount of fresh strawberries and filling, and a pile of whipped cream on top. It too was delicious. The portions for both were perfect -- generous but not excessive. The coffee was good as well, which I can't say about a lot of places anymore. It was very clean and new inside, and the decoration was very nice. Modern and elegant, but with enough natural oak accents, basket-shaded lights, and plants to really brighten the space. The service was also excellent. They were fully staffed with many attentive employees available, and the service was on point. The food came out fast and hot. If I had one complaint, it might be that the A/C was a little strong. It's maybe a little pricey for breakfast compared to diner fare (almost every entrée was $10-15), but the value is 100% there. Excellent food, nice atmosphere, and great service. Definitely a stand-out in the area for breakfast/brunch/lunch, and I will definitely be back.

My review is based solely on my interaction with a manager at Queen cafe…read more (Know that the pic showing "sold out" is after the time to pick up our order and only to show there's no instructions on their site about them being pre order only) TL;DR: We placed a large office online order last night for today pickup. On arrival, we were told the order was only available for Super Bowl Sunday (two weeks away), despite the system allowing us to select Friday pickup with no instructions. The issue was handled defensively, with quick blame, little care and no accountability. Basically ended with a "tough luck better next time" tone. Proceed as you wish. For those who want details:A colleague had been bringing wings from Queen Café to our office on Fridays for a few weeks, and they quickly became an office favorite. It reached a point where team members were coming into the office specifically to enjoy them, even on days they would normally work from home. On January 22nd, we placed a large online order (150 wings) through their Toast system for Friday, January 23rd pickup. Just before arriving to collect the order at the scheduled time, my coworker received a call asking to confirm whether the order was for the Super Bowl on February 8th. At that point, we were already en route and the receipt clearly showed the order was placed for January 23rd. We were told that the wing style selected was only available for Super Bowl Sunday and that only 40 wings were left for purchase that day. This was confusing, because the system allowed us to select that option for Friday pickup with no direction or restriction. Along with this they are normally closed on Sundays as shown in the pictures. When we arrived, we waited patiently to speak with a manager--not expecting extra wings to magically appear, but hoping to understand what went wrong and how to avoid this in the future. Sadly, the interaction was immediately defensive with a very direct blaming tone. We were told the order had "just appeared" at that time in their system and that the wrong option had been selected, with no room for discussion. There wasn't even an attempt to review the receipt that showed when the order was placed and pick up time. I kindly asked why the option was available for Friday pickup if it was only intended for Super Bowl Sunday. The only response was for us to either receive a full refund or purchasing the remaining 40 wings at full price. We chose to take the 40 wings. I asked whether there was anything that could be done to acknowledge the inconvenience, as this appeared to be a system or process issue rather than user error. The response we got was very rude, dismissive and reactive, rather than understanding or solution-oriented. Before leaving, I asked how we should place large Friday orders in the future to prevent this from happening again. We were told to order the same way as before and that the day didn't matter--despite being told moments earlier that the system didn't register the order until noon next day for our pickup time. This left us with little faith that the issue wouldn't repeat itself or if there was concern about if it did. Overall, the interaction felt more accusatory and defensive than customer caring. I understand mistakes happen, but it's how they are handled matters. We were hoping to continue making these large Friday orders a regular tradition with Queen Cafe, but based on this experience, we'll be looking at other options. Advice to customers: If there's an issue with your order, be prepared for challenging cooperation & little consideration from management. Advice to management: Review how ordering options are presented to your customers, take accountability when it's on you/your systems, don't blame your customers, and approach them with some level of empathy to listen for a solution.

The cheese was plentiful and the fresh dill added a bright note. I'm not a fan of egg yolks so I enjoyed it topped with egg whites. This was the perfect combo and I savored every delicious bite!

I quickly changed my order I learned that the syrup they use is not maple syrup. So I opted for a couple of eggs with Burt's bacon and a house made biscuit. The eggs were nicely over medium as ordered. As opposed to most cafes, these appeared to be made in a skillet with real butter. Thank you!!! The 4 slices bacon were a thicker slice and nicely prepared. Home fries were too few and bit soggy but decent in flavor. The biscuit was not what I expected. Although fresh, it was not at all flaky and was more like bread than biscuit. Jelly requested came out in small paper cup. Coffee was fresh. Service was pleasant as was the decor. Come for the eggs. Bring your own maple syrup Get Burt's bacon.
