Cup & Saucer Cafe

Another great breakfast: "Tommy Go Hamlet" omelet, with nicely crisp potatoes and an English Muffin + a Blueberry Pancake, that was exploding with plump juicy blueberries. Damn it was good, and nice crispy edges, too. Kept my cup full of really good, strong coffee. It was an A+ day, especially on account of no wailing "customers in training" , little sh*ts who whine when good, wail and scream when not. 12.31.17 UPDATE. I have been having breakfast here about once a week for the past 9 months and feel I need to revise my review and star rating after considering the " body of work", if you will, that I have experienced over that time. Bottom line is something went wrong here, and I very strongly suspect it is Management's lack of training and standards. Now with multiple locations around town, it has to be the case that the servers and sometimes even Cooks, given the sometimes uneven food preparation, are simply not properly trained. I usually visit alone, so have a great opportunity to observe what is going on in the house. I see that the servers are usually trying, but sometimes get flustered even when not terribly busy which is a clear sign that they don't exactly know what to do next or how to handle situations. Service is a system, and owners and management have full and sole responsibility to provide wait staff with the rules of the road to handle the type of service and volume in the front of their house. That is obviously the link that has gone limp. The menu is fine, the decor is a little bit dated, and overall the venue is beginning to develop the feel of a business that is nearing the end of the term of its lease and the owners are simply not investing any more time, money or energy in that location. I have no idea that that is the situation and it probably is not, but the empty storefront next door that was recently occupied by Black Lives Matter, along with reduced traffic at C&S, gives the feel of a place that you might walk up to and find a "CLOSED" sign on. The lack of management response to any of the nasty reviews posted here is also an interesting puzzle.

My friend and I went there for breakfast the other day. He had an omelette and I had the French toast. Both were excellent. Made sure to tell the cook James what a great job he did. Thanks again James. Give that man a raise!

Standard diner fare. Came for breakfast. Server was attentive and friendly. Had brioche French toast and a side of bacon. France today was tasty, but a bit dry. Bacon slices were large and crunchy, the way I like it. Was a bit cold inside, though.

Great vegan options! All scrambles can be made with tofu - sub in some vegan cheese for an incredible meal. :)

A small but tasty menu in this traditional cafe. The place is quirky but is perfect for an early morning or lunchtime feed. The omelettes are rich and the three varieties of eggs Benedict are all very, very tasty. Beer is available and, although busy, the staff are always willing to top up your coffee.
