TA Cafe

Food is amazing, the service was fantastic, the odds were not in their favor due to lack of hands, but they hurried and hustled and did absolutely amazing.

This hidden gem was a very pleasant surprise. For the last year we have been religiously going to breakfast at another cafe that we love. This replaced that as our favorite the very first visit. The ambiance is perfect for our personalities, the food was plentiful and delicious and the pricing was quite reasonable. Add in the cost proximity to our home and it can't be beat. Even parking was a breeze. Another little added bonus was that I think I found the perfect country fried steak.

I cannot believe this hidden gem of a breakfast spot doesn’t have more positive reviews! (Full disclosure—this is our second visit to this restaurant in two years and our experience the first visit was the same as this one!) We are full-time RV’ers who travel all around the country looking for the “perfect breakfast” along our way. Let me now break down what we think is “the perfect breakfast” at a mom and pop style restaurant because this place has it! We walk in to a welcoming sandwich board sign that has specials and some funny jokes. The sign also says it is “seat yourself” and it has plenty of clean booths. As we sit and the waitress welcomes us and is at the table immediately with menus and asking what to drink… 2 coffees of course, one with cream. She brings back 2 coffees, 2 ice waters (without asking) and cream within 2 minutes and then places a full carafe of coffee in between us, then asks us we’re ready to order or need more time… of course we’re ready to order as those of you who know us from our other reviews know we both always order 2 eggs, over easy, bacon, hash browns and english muffins. As we wait, we note that the coffee is good here—freshly brewed with a smooth taste. Our food comes out 10-ish minutes later and is perfectly cooked. The eggs are just right, with runny yolks, but firm whites. The hash browns have the perfect crust and are the best we’ve had in months! And the bacon was thick and cooked until moderately crispy. Even the english muffins were perfectly browned to a crunchy finish. I asked for green Tabasco (which I haven’t been able to find in restaurants lately) and she delivered it! Then, she left us alone for the most part to enjoy our meal. She checked in once while we were eating to see if everything was OK and to drop our check, which was perfect. Towards the end of the meal I placed my card over the check and she immediately picked it up and rang us up. We then enjoyed a final fill up from our carafe. The restaurant is clean, the service is quick, very efficient and friendly and the food is excellent! This has officially become our second favorite mom and pop breakfast restaurant in the nation—and we have visited a lot of restaurants! We will definitely stop again on our next trip through!
