Just got back from Sunday brunch. We live two blocks away. For newbies and out-of-towners, here's vital info: You really do need to be there early. Even on a miserable day--and it was raining pretty hard this morning--the line starts at 9:30 a.m. The restaurant opens at 10. We were first in line because we know the drill. There were people at the end of the line who had to wait for a table. Bring your raincoat and umbrella, or your parka and snow boots, because regardless of the weather, there is a line. That's how good it is. One other quick recommendation. I am not one of those who lives on red meat. That said, I always order the ribeye. I've eaten in steak houses, but I have yet to find a steak house that can do a better job with a ribeye than Cake does at Sunday brunch. I can't explain why--it's completely unexpected--but it's truly amazing. Tender, even if you order it well-done, with a nice knob of seasoned butter melting away on top.
Lovely atmosphere and food. I just wish they had more gluten free and dairy free options.
Varied brunch menu, in a lovely setting. Some nice additions to the standard breakfast fare, quiche, frittata, crab. Large portions, made to order. Noise level can be a bit much, but the decor makes up for it. #brunch
Cake is a lovely place for many occasions. Brunch was delicious. Staffs were kind and work efficiently. Its interior has plenty of national light which I like. Waiting for a table takes longer than I expected; however it is nice you don't need to ne inside because they take customer's phone number and call when a table is ready. You also can enjoy looking a pretty gift shop connected with the cafe while waiting a call from Cake
My husband & I enjoy this place, but often go somewhere else because the wait is always long & there is virtually no space to physically wait...but we were lucky today....food(chicken salad/black bean soup/sirloin burger)was very good. Water for tea was barely warm, but that's our fault for not complaining to our sweet waitress.
