Second Cup Cafe

Stopped here for a late brunch yesterday with friends. This mom-​and-​pop style mini-​diner/​deli features a very limited menu, with breakfast items heavy on the eggs and pancakes. The food was…“eh.” I had a mass of scrambled eggs with veggies, and it was pretty flavorless until I doused it with Tobasco sauce. The toast came dry and was not even remotely warm, so trying to spread butter on it was somewhat frustrating. There was only one other couple in the restaurant, so it wasn’t like the waitstaff was busy… but no one came by to refill our water (we eventually spotted a pitcher and helped ourselves), and my husband’s coffee wasn’t refilled until they brought out the food… about 30 minutes after we ordered.
We DID enjoy the cozy feel of the place and the fact that they played classical music in the background, so this restaurant may have merit if you’re just looking for a place to spend Sunday afternoon with the newspaper and a (single) cup of coffee. If you’re looking for a tasty dining experience, however, the Second Cup isn’t it.

This is truly a hole in the wall! Basically, three people work here. The cook, the owner/​waiter/​busboy and the busboy. Yet, I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised by our dining experience. The coffee is AWESOME. Best coffee I have had at a breakfast place in a very long time. The omelets are fairly large and very tasty. We will definitely be coming back for a third cup!
