For me, this spot really hit the mark on all aspects of the experience. The interior is nicely…read moredecorated and cozy, with a patio option available outside. Service was fairly quick and friendly. Parking is plentiful nearby, though it's a bit of a challenge to park next to the building both because of limited spots and narrow alleys. The menu is quite expansive, with options that are a bit different than what you typically expect, and the prices are fair. For someone who goes to a minimum of one or more brunches per week, the drink and food menus here drew me to the restaurant. After a while, a lot of menus look very similar with the same generic offerings of the standard pancake, waffle, omelet, and waffle options. This spot has a lot of fun options such as avocado steak toast, barbacoa skillet, churro hawaiian bread french toast, biscuit bombs and more. Even on more common options, they generally carry a wide range of flavor profiles from fruits to chocolate to nuts and more. Similarly, drinks include mimosas, champagne, cocktails, wine, spritzers, beer, juices, milks, coffees, teas, and more -- with tons of customization options. I'm a huge fan of this since it allows me to come back here with friends and not get bored of trying different things. The prices are also very fair for the higher quality products they serve. The food overall was impressive as well. I found the hash skillet to be flavorful with corn beef that wasn't too salty and quite tender. The best part was probably the potatoes that were seasoned to perfection and absorbed the flavors of the onion and pepper well, with a slightly crispy edge. The normal pancakes were super fluffy and quite thick. The pumpkin pancakes were a great combination with a delicious cream cheese frosting and a mix of dried cranberries, walnuts, and pumpkin pie sauce that was flavorful and addictive. This didn't need any additional syrup. The pumpkin roll french toast was equally as impressive where the toast was just a little crispy and the cream cheese frosting was a bit gooey. This was quite a fun mix of textures also with delicious sugared pecans and pumpkin pie drizzle. Overall, delicious food and great options make this a spot I'm sure to return to anytime I'm in the area.

For starters - we got the Brussels Sprouts Crostini. Unique appetizer to try - if you love brussell sprouts. For entrees, we got the cauliflower steak and fried chicken. I loved my cauliflower - the hummus and pita bread with it made it perfect. I wasn't trying for an all veggie meal, but it truly hit the spot. Nothing too heavy at all. My husband liked his fried chicken but wished it was spicier. He took half home and was able to spice it up with a sauce. Overall - a great meal that we would go back to if we were in the area.

The atmosphere hits that perfect sweet spot, warm, welcoming, and buzzing with just enough energy to make you feel like you found the place. Cozy without trying too hard, friendly without being fake, and full of that comforting breakfast chaos that somehow makes coffee taste better. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and somewhere between the first bite and the shamefully aggressive scraping of the plate, I experienced personal growth. These weren't sad, cafeteria biscuits fighting for survival under mystery gravy. No. These biscuits showed up with confidence. Fluffy, buttery little clouds carrying gravy so rich and comforting it could probably talk me through my taxes and unresolved childhood issues. By bite three, I was mentally canceling my responsibilities and considering forwarding my mail to Glenn Oak. The dangerous part? I looked around and realized everyone else seemed equally possessed by whatever culinary wizardry is happening in that kitchen. Suddenly ordering one thing felt irresponsible. If the biscuits and gravy hit this hard, what else are they hiding back there? Glenn Oak is the kind of place that makes you want to tell everyone you know... and absolutely nobody at the same time because waiting longer for a table sounds emotionally devastating. 10/10. Bring stretchy pants, poor decision making, and don't make plans immediately after because you may emotionally commit to staying all day!

Came here a few weeks ago. The food is delicious, and everyone is super friendly…read more I had the Waldorf Chicken Salad Melt. Their website is under construction so I called beforehand to ask what exactly comes in the chicken salad, and to make sure the mayo wasn't some weird tangy Miracle Whip type (it isn't). I based my decision on the photo I saw here on Yelp which showed it as a sandwich. Imagine my surprise when it came out served on an open-faced English muffin! That said, once I got over my shock I was really digging all the flavors of the creamy chicken salad, melted cheese, and muffin. I just hadn't anticipated needing a knife and fork to eat it! I used to get the Door County Melt from Egg Harbor all the time but I have to say, Egglectic Cafe's version is better. My husband got the Monte Cristo which he really liked. I took a bite and thought it was pretty good. They served it with a side of Dijon-mayonnaise and raspberry preserves, both of which were good. My only complaint is regarding the conflicting information I was given regarding the choice of sides, and not being told which included an upcharge. The gentleman on the phone listed more options than what our server did when I asked (because I couldn't remember them all from my call). When I picked the onion petals I wasn't aware of the upcharge and didn't find out until the bill came. They were quite delicious, so I would get them again anyway. Plus I assume the physical menus listed the upcharge, but since I already knew what I wanted, I hadn't looked. That being said, I wish servers would call attention to upcharges, particularly when someone asks for a list of side options, the assumption being they are completely unfamiliar with them and any extra charges. Just an idea if management happens to read this. They gave my husband a to-go cup of the iced tea he had ordered which I thought was a nice touch. I think Egg Harbor used to do something similar. I'm not sure if that's standard practice, or they wanted us to leave, because it was pretty empty inside and it was about 2:10 pm when we were finishing up (they close at 2:30). All that said, I'd absolutely come back for that chicken salad melt alone. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Lovely first plate with tea sandwiches and a souffle. The attentive, kind and hard working wait staff passed around extra sandwiches. Then came warm, flaky scones served with lemon curd and Devonshire cream (as they should be served), followed by a dessert trio. The tea being served was so good. For foodies, know that they use quality ingredients. Excellent cheeses. Bread that was soft yet stood up to the toppings. I appreciated how helpful Carol was with special food needs (GF, vegan, etc). Staff confirmed with each person what they were getting the day of the event. She was also very helpful in general. I live in Texas, have never been to Suzette's and felt at ease that it would all pull together. Parking in the garage across the alleyway was a bonus. So convenient. I highly recommend them for your small event (room holds 30ish people). They were also very accommodating to the small children who attended so bonus family friendly.

There's a quiet pride in the air now, a sense that the place knows it has blossomed. Today's tea service was an absolute treat: elegant, cozy, and full of small delights that made the whole experience feel like a gentle exhale. Every morsel was beautifully balanced, from the crisp, refreshing cucumber canapés to warm flaky scones to the indulgent sweets served with a bright sherbet to cleanse the palate. The pumpkin soup was exquisite, velvety and comforting, and the trio of teas were brewed with the care of someone who respects the leaves. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, warm without being intrusive, exactly what a tea service deserves. This is a special time of year at Suzette's, when you step in from the cold and are welcomed into a space that feels elegant, glowing, and lovingly kept, a perfect little escape, wrapped in French charm and good company. Oh, and don't leave without taking a few of their goodies home... I will surely enjoy mine during the next few days

Honestly, I tasted far too indulgent to be gluten-free and the best way possible. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely come back.
