Steve B.

We were wandering around downtown Greensboro deciding where to have breakfast. Could not have made a better decision than stopping on Cafe 13. Fantastic service, food and greeted by the owners with a big smile as soon as we walked in the door. Now, if only their landlords would put the restaurant name outside the building. Give yourself a treat and stop in. You won't regret it

Salad, add fried shrimp
Christa F.

I have wanted to try this place for a very long time, but just didn't have the opportunity throughout the week. They have Seafood on Fridays so I selected the fried shrimp, but with a salad that would normally come with chicken or another protein. The salad was so fresh and included big leafy greens, no iceberg, tomatoes cucumbers and croutons. The jumbo shrimp and the boiled egg gave me a great amount of protein. The shrimp were piping hot and they had great flavo. I could tell by those coming and going that this is a favorite for the working community with the Renaissance building, and in the downtown area. Drop in if you're close by!

The restaurant my husband and I usually go to at 9am every other weekday wasn't open on a Tuesday, so we searched for another spot to hit up and found ourselves in this cute little café today. Upon pulling up to the spot google maps led us to, we were a little confused since it doesn't stand out right away because it's located within the Renaissance Plaza Office Building First Floor. You have to go inside and look. Fortunately, it wasn't hard to find. It's a cute, clean, little space and for some reason, it felt very nostalgic of a mom and pop shop I'd been to in NYC in a past life. The owner was present and immediately greeted us as we entered. The menu offerings are very straight forward and the food isn't anything out of the ordinary, but I can tell there was a lot of pride that went into the cooking. They cared about our experience and were very friendly. My hubby and I enjoyed our experience here for breakfast for the ease of ordering food we can expect to be consistent in quality, as the owner himself preps it, and its accessibility so early in the morning which isn't always a thing on a Monday/Tuesday unless you count fast food.

I was really looking forward to returning to Scrambled, as I had enjoyed my previous visit. It is…read moresuch a cozy spot. Unfortunately, this time I left feeling pretty disappointed. I ordered a hot coffee and the Breakfast Burger, while my partner ordered the Pork Ribeye with eggs. Things got off to a disappointing start when my coffee arrived lukewarm. I like my coffee hot, and this certainly wasn't. When our food arrived, I immediately noticed that my partner's eggs were over easy, even though I had clearly heard him order them sunny side up. My Breakfast Burger was even more disappointing. The beef was so overcooked and dry that it was like eating cardboard. I finally gave up on the meat, pulled it out of the burger, and finished the bread. What really bothered me was what I noticed when the server brought the check. Next to the Breakfast Burger, it said "WELL." Suddenly, the overcooked burger made sense! The problem was that nobody had asked me how I wanted it cooked. Apparently, the server had made that decision for me. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a server to ask how you'd like your burger prepared rather than simply deciding for you. I had been looking forward to coming back to Scrambled, which made this visit all the more disappointing. Between the lukewarm coffee, the incorrectly prepared eggs, and a burger that was practically inedible, this was a far cry from the experience I remembered.

We gave The Breakfast Spot another try after some friends encouraged us to revisit, and I'm glad we…read moredid! We ordered our food to go, but the atmosphere inside was nice when we stopped in to pick it up. Our previous frustration wasn't necessarily bad food--it was inconsistency. We'd experienced unanswered calls, calls answered without anyone speaking, and trips there only to find nobody there. That had kept us from returning for a while. This time, my son loved his waffle sliders and gave them a 10/10. My shrimp and grits were also a 10/10! They were flavorful and easily the highlight of my meal. My husband enjoyed his three-piece wings and bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit earned an 8/10, although he wished there was more filling to balance the amount of bread. I ordered a strawberry shortcake waffle but received a strawberry waffle with strawberries and strawberry syrup instead. That was disappointing, and I passed it to another family member, who enjoyed it. We landed on a 7.5/10 for that one, factoring in the order mix-up. Overall, this was a much better experience and gave us a reason to return. I hope the consistency continues because those shrimp and grits and waffle sliders were worth another visit!

My veggie omelet w/cheddar cheese was utterly delicious. The fluffiest eggs I've ever eaten! My waffle = good-good...the hash browns=delish...the bacon=yum-yum. And everything came in perfectly sized portions. I could go on and on about other menu items because everyone in my party raved about their food. But I'll just say this...the biscuits are light and fluffy and full-FILLING!! Next, the service...Eric was a burst of feel-good sunshine on a chilly, cloudy morning. He gives a perfect balance of pleasingly personable and exceptionally professional. And he was oh so very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu options. In other words, he understood the assignment for a group of hungry parade goers of a certain age! And finally, the ambiance was very welcoming and warm and friendly. The staff was in full Halloween mode with what appeared to be semi-professional makeup, tastefully done, of course. One final note...the prices are extremely reasonable. The Sage Mule is a 10 outta 10! Do yourself a favor and check them out!

The only thing going for this place is the location and ambiance/look. For the last few years we…read morehave tried and tried to give this place chances, thinking that next time will be different, and every single time it's a disappointment. Service is lacking and food is mid even at its best. Most food items are bland with no seasoning, sandwiches are under sauced, etc. There's always something wrong about the order, service is slow to non existent. I had to wait 20+ mins to get a water refill, while still waiting on our order that apparently was sitting in the window dying that entire time, based on how cold everything was. (The food was suddenly ready when we asked about it) I ordered a mimoso, he repeated it back to me, and I never got it. One of our dishes had to be sent back because it wasn't made correctly. Nothing we had was very good at all. Simply put, don't waste your time here. I'm done giving this places chances.

My partner visited Black Magnolia last week after her massage at Green Leaf Wellness center and raved about her cinnamon roll, so I decided to treat myself to one as well and it did not disappoint. I found the Patisserie straight away as I passed it on the way to my massage, but the signage on the curb helps since some businesses in Revolution Mills can be quite difficult to find. The storefront itself is quite small, consisting of a standing room and the glass case of baked goods, but there is seating outside and around the establishment. The staff was attentive, briefing me on all the cinnamon rolls they currently had and letting me know that there were some baking that would be available a bit later. Each roll looked decadent with flavors ranging from lemon blueberry, s'mores, and classic. There were also scones and other baked goods available as well, but I had my heart set on the Classic Cinnamon Roll. I bit into this beauty on my way home and it was the softest and most delicious cinnamon roll I have ever had! Baked with brioche dough and topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, the pillowy texture and flavors were so comforting and satisfying. I don't eat sweets often, so this was the perfect treat to end my day with. I am definitely looking forward to trying the lemon blueberry next!

Hey family. Happy Saturday! I will make this one short and sweet for you. If you have not been to…read moreBlack Magnolia in Revolution Mill, you are missing out. I will suggest that if you are looking for more of the savory items you do have to get there early because it will sell out. The cinnamon bun and scone were absolutely delicious. I got there right on time because they just took the scones out. So it was freshly iced and so yummy. What's not pictured is the chocolate chip cookie. Just do yourself a favor and try it. It was the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. Just to note, this place is in the cut and you have to go down a few stairs but look for their sign posted outside and parking is right across. I'll definitely come back to try more items.

From the moment we walked in the decor and overall vibe felt like stepping back in time in a good way. You can tell a lot of thought went into the place without it feeling overdone.

The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, the bacon was dried out, and the sausage was so dry and tough that I had to use a knife just to cut through it. For a restaurant with this kind of reputation, I expected fresh, well-prepared food--not something that tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp at a hotel breakfast buffet. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else for brunch.

They had counter service this morning, where you order at the counter. Since it was my first visit, the young man could probably tell I was new--he greeted me right away and explained how everything worked. The space was clean, and it faces the rising sun. I'd already picked out the perfect seat to let that morning sunshine shine right in. The lemon ricotta pancakes had been calling my name for a while. The young woman at the counter let me know they're soft because of the ricotta. I appreciated the heads-up, since the texture is different from a regular pancake and someone might otherwise think they weren't fully cooked. They were absolutely out-of-this-world amazing! I ordered the three pancakes and only afterward noticed that you can order them individually. Three was definitely too many for me--I made it through two and was stuffed, so I left one lonely pancake behind. I also ordered a side of bacon to add some protein. They also have the cutest little French market inside, with a whole freezer full of items you can take home and bake yourself. And they just introduced some new menu items today, which will be around for the next couple of months: pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, braised short ribs, beignets, and a savory Dutch baby. If you're ever downtown, stop by and give this place a try! Ciao for now!
