Quintessential breakfast
We ate here for breakfast while visiting relatives in Oregon. The place is bright and clean with a wait staff that is *moving*. My wife ordered the French toast, I ordered my usual - 2 eggs over easy, bacon, hashbrowns, wheat toast, and coffee.

Our server apologized a couple minutes after seating us for not getting coffee & water to us. We were still looking at the decor when she said that and we didn't think she was slow at all. Coffee in Oregon is about like that in Washington/Seattle - almost a religion.

My wife's French toast was a single slice of batter dipped crispness that covered the plate. The menu lists 1 or 2 slices for an order. I would be impressed if anyone could eat 2 of them. She said it was about the best French toast she had ever had. A generous serving of butter was placed on the table for her and my plates.

My eggs were a little undercooked but that's the risk for eggs over easy. The hashbrowns were cooked just right - not too crispy and not soggy. With ketchup on top I was happy. The best part was the bacon. This is stuff pigs dream of becoming. Nicely thick long slices, cooked with a little crispiness, and flavor in every bite. Wonderful.

The whole time our coffee cups were kept topped up without having to ask. My brother-in-law said that lunch and dinner is just as good. I'll take his word for it.

I highly recommend Cafe Today to anyone.    [20 Mar 2000 14:49:16]
