    Egg and Cheese Sandwich
    Jacob C.

    Cute all-day cafe with range of food and drink options but primarily breakfast and brunch-oriented. Staff were super friendly and welcoming and prices were very reasonable (I can't remember the last time I paid less than $4 for a breakfast sandwich!). Food-wise, they make a solid, basic breakfast sandwich but the pancakes, croffles and other baked goods are the standouts. The chocolate chip pancakes were excellent - sweet without being too cloying and delightfully fluffy!

    This was our first time coming here, and upon entering both the waiter and waitress were very friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations. There were a lot of options for food and it was hard to decide! They have everything from Shakshuka to their "croffle"! ( croffle- croissant waffle with different toppings) We shared a Nutella and hazelnut croffle, and had omelets. The croffle was incredible- very decadent- and the omelets were very generous with their portions and had toast and home fried potatoes! It's a small spot, but doesn't feel crowded at all overall great experience and would come back!

    Opens really early. Boston cheesesteak panini is a great sandwich. Croffle is fluffy and sweet. Would come back

    The cutest coaster and my hot caramel macchiato
    Ricarta C.

    The cutest little cafe I've ever been too! I found this on Yelp and was ready to try after seeing the menu. On a Sunday morning , once checked in we got seated within 5 mins ( lucky us ). Once seated in this little cafe, our server immediately greeted us and got our drink order. I had to flip a coin as all the coffees sounded amazing. I went with a hot caramel macchiato and probably the best I've ever had and I'm a coffee junky 10/10. Then the food - holy wow ! The tables around us had me drooling and then our food came and it was so good! Portion was huge and we left so full. The western omelette was HUGE and came with a side of home fries and your choice of bread. I decided on sour dough which was very good. Strawberry pancakes looked like the viral fluffy pancakes and covered in sweet strawberries. If I lived here, I'd come every Sunday ! I loved the ambiance, the tiny space and the food and coffee . 10/10

    Matcha Einspanner and coffee Einspanner
    Arianna L.

    Came back and the food didn't hit the same. Matcha einspanner was a little too sweet for my liking and the toowoomba panini was a little heavy. We did have to quickly leave so I appreciated them rushing the order for us! Small space but they have an extensive menu so maybe other items are better! Got the oriental salad and the portion was very generous

    Einspänner coffee
    Katherine V.

    I've been coming to Cafe Weekend for coffee for a while now -- the Einspänner is still my go-to and never disappoints. Finally made it in early enough to try the food since it's usually packed. Be warned: the menu is a lot. It's slightly overwhelming at first and the portion sizes aren't super clear. The space is also pretty tight -- they've definitely maximized seating -- so it feels cramped when it's busy. Service had that subtle "we need this table back" energy. Not outright rushing, but you can feel the turnover pace. Food-wise, the specialties looked massive, so we ordered less of those and opted for sides instead... which somehow ended up being even more food than we expected. Portions are generous. Everything was good and solid, nothing mind-blowing, but I appreciated that it wasn't greasy. The hashbrowns were a standout -- more reminiscent of a Jewish potato latke than your typical diner hashbrown, and absolutely worth ordering. Overall: great coffee, solid breakfast, big portions. Come early, eat efficiently, and you'll enjoy it.

    pasta
    Lily Q.

    Came here for dinner and enjoyed the pasta I had! They have other italian food too as well as other options. Really good portions and the atmosphere was very casual.

    Weekend Special
    Joe J.

    Really solid breakfast overall and definitely a place I'd come back to. The pancake was unique and super fluffy, easily one of the highlights of the meal. On the weekend special, the portion size was generous, especially with the amount of meat included. Tons of bacon, sausage, and ham, which made it feel like a great value. The eggs were supposed to be over easy but a little less runny than i would've liked. The drop the eggs sandwich came with nice fluffy eggs and paired really well with the special sauce, which was sweet and delicious. The weekend latte was excellent. Tasted like it was 1000 calories in the best way possible The only downside was the potatoes. They were pretty hard and lacked seasoning and flavor, which stood out compared to how strong everything else was. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with a few standout items and just a small miss on the side. Definitely worth checking out, especially for brunch.

    Drop the Eggs and Drip Coffee
    Katie D.

    Great customer service! When we mentioned it was our first visit, they happily recommended a few dishes. Pictured here is the **Drop the Egg**, which was delicious--definitely on the spicier side if you enjoy a bit of heat. I also ordered the **Western Omelette**, which was hearty and very satisfying, perfect if you're looking for something more filling.

    This is a casual food spot that is a popular brunch spot. Even on a weekday, it gets quite crowded here. The staff were nice to us and allowed us to move to a table once someone left but this place is seriously small that I would say a party of 2 ppl is the max I would be comfortable with here. I got a hash brown sandwich and it is everything you can ask for in a carb heavy brunch item. Although it is mostly savory, it was a nice touch of sweetness in the sauce and bread that breaks up the saltiness. Drinks wise, both my friend and I were not a fan. They were pretty basic with nothing special about them and could've done without them. Matcha latte was super sweet and is not made with great matcha.

    June M.

    Love their Boston cheesesteak Panini. Came here for brunch and surprise of how everything tastes. I also order Matcha hot and it was very heartwarming in the cold weather. It pretty small inside with lot of tables, perfect for brunch dates with small group. Street parking right outside

    Eggs Benedict
    Rachel S.

    This place is really good! I think the people who own it are Korean, but the food is all pretty typical American fare. It's good! The eggs Benedict was perfect and the combo of English muffin and Canadian bacon was perfect. The service was nice too. The citronnade was really perfect for a hot day. My partner enjoyed his caprese sandwich a lot. The food was overall simple but well done!

    Leah T.

    Food was 10/10! A few items prepared in ways we haven't tried and items that feel exclusive to the cafe. Drinks were great, was a busy rainy day but my party of 4 was seated in under 10 minutes, staff was solid, straight to the point with ordering and accommodations, loved the size of the space and art on the walls, felt like a little hole in the wall joint. Also.....absolutely get the shashuka!

    Is there parking?

    There is street parking near by but I didn't see any bear by lots .

    If we go on a weekend morning will it be impossible to get a table?

    Came here at 10am on a Saturday. Busy but not impossible for 1 to 2 people. We sat at the counter with no wait!

    In a world where so many Japanese-style items aren't actually made in Japan (and aren't always the…read morebest quality), I really respect Maruichi Select for carrying so many genuinely Japanese items. The shop, with all its ceramics, is SO cute. I want everything. It's also just a lovely little cafe: calm, cozy, neat, clean, and surprisingly spacious. Also, the onigiri is the biggest onigiri I've ever had. Maybe I just haven't eaten enough onigiri in my life, but I swear theirs is huge and also one of the most flavorful. I got the spicy chicken karaage onigiri and did not regret it. I also got the matcha latte, which was really good. And I respect that they serve Ogawa Coffee, a Japanese coffee. So based. I wish I lived closer so I could just roll out of bed and work here. Honestly, I wish I could WFH so I could work here. Why can't I just live here while I'm at it? They also have a good selection of ramen, udon, sandos, and, when they aren't short-staffed, kakigori shaved ice. I'm sad about the kakigori. It's summer, goddamnit! They could be making so much money if they had enough staff for it. You really can't go wrong being here. It's a little serene Japanese oasis, and I'm very glad it exists.

We got here right when they opened so they were still preparing the premium onigiri for the day. Service was very friendly - order at the register and pick up your food when ready. We did order one of each - Chashu & Aji-Tama (Braised Pork & Egg) - this was one of my favorites, flavorful and fresh. Karage - Probably our second favorite - the chicken was tender. Spicy Karage - similar to the regular karage but I wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy mayo Takana (Pickled Mustard Leaf) - this one was surprising but very good and a little spicy. I also ordered their Cherry Blossom Tea and the Hojicha Latte. Both were good teas. I did some shopping here too as they had a variety of snacks, teas and other trinkets. They have a small little refrigerated fresh food section where you can also get onigiri and other foods. Very cute spot and good amount of seating inside. Nice, quiet and calming inside. Would definitely come back.

There's so many options when it comes to food, hot food or quick food! My favorite are the hand-rolls, ranges from $4-$8, and the strawberry matcha latte, perfect flavor and sweetness. The onigiris in the fridge are fantastic, as low as $2 and is amazing to eat later, but there are fresh made ones for about $4 each. They also have the infamous egg sandos, for quick grabs! I need to try the curry katsu next time because I see so many people ordering those. Sometimes they have food demonstrations from Japan and they are always so nice!

The line to order was long but moved quickly, and there is one seating area with typical tables and chairs as well as one where you remove your shoes and sit on the floor. The drinks took a while to come out, simply because there were so many orders, but overall was a great and delicious experience!

I had their 10 dollar signature curry. It was a lot of food for the price. Complete with shredded chicken and served with plenty of rice! I loved it! The hojicha latte was very strong and tasted amazing. It wasn't sweetened much, so I guess you can really taste the hojicha! I think it was very skillfully made. Also tried one of their onigiri. You get the onigiri at the cashier when you order. Not sure what happened but the first person I talked to didn't give me one when I ordered. I had to go back and talk to them to get one. The braised pork and egg is quite good and almost tastes like fish roe as it's so rich and tasty. The interior is spacious. But can feel a little cramped or difficult to get around it.

I probably would have loved it in my 20s. They do have a room with tatami mats & exposed brick with the vibes I was hoping for, but a woman is talking and gesticulating animatedly in there, and at another table there's a toddler, whereas the tables on the floor are ironically much quieter. Maybe I'll check out that room next time? I get the establishment isn't responsible for patrons' volume or meltdowns. They have signs asking you not to stay more than 90 minutes...which I find fascinating, as the ambiance doesn't lend itself towards lingering. Nonetheless, 4 stars because I really enjoyed my first iced Houjicha Latte. In the future, I'll take my drink orders to go.
