    Friendly staff! They were able to accommodate my friend in a wheelchair and we were glad to be in the corner so we were out of the way. All of the food was fresh, hot, & delicious. Good sized portions. I recommend ordering tots and sharing an entree. Very cozy restaurant with nice decor. My party of 4 didn't need to speak too loudly to hear each other. Small parking lot and on-street/meter parking. Great place to meet-up or have a nice meal by yourself.

    Passing through and stopped in for breakfast. We both had a simple breakfast, eggs, home fries, toast, and bacon. Food was cooked to order and not bad. The server was prompt and accommodating. The decor was a little dated, the vibe boring. If you're looking for average food and a quick in and out this spot is for you. No frills, just food.

    Caprese Omelette with rye bread

    I found a week day breakfast/lunch place that offers Mimosas! My husband and I are on an adventure of dining at all of the Natick restaurants! We were seated at a table for 2. My husband felt cold from the above AC vent. I went over to another empty table to see if it would be better for us. The owner saw me, I told him the situation, he said Let me help you and moved all our place settings to the new table. So I get my delicious tropical fruit juice blend Mimosa while we wait comfortable for our meals. I enjoyed looking at the pretty window box flowers. Husband was happy with his pancakes and he's a pancake connoisseur! I had my first ever caprese omelette. The mozzarella and roasted tomatoes were delizioso.

    Breakfast! New place. I know the area and if you remember where the dolphin restaurant was, you'll know it too. Parking is limited. Very intimate. Seated quickly, menus in hand. Breakfast choices a plenty. Settled on "the Spartan" (scrambled eggs, bacon, pork sausages, pancakes). Fresh and hot. Coffee was good too. For 8:20 in the morning. Busy but not loud at all. Close and intimate so you don't have to yell to be heard. Easy check out and got to meet Eli, will be back!

    Stopped here for breakfast with my husband while in town visiting family. The restaurant was on the smaller side but we didn't have to wait for a table although they were busy. I ordered the French toast and the loaded tater tots which were both good. I didn't really like the spicy mayo with the tater tots but ketchup worked fine. I did like that the syrup was served warm with the French toast. The waiter was good and attentive. Overall it was a good breakfast experience.

    Breakfast Burrito with some cheesy tots blurred in the back

    Had a lovely experience getting some warm comforting brunch goodies this morning, especially as I was wanting something on the lighter side that I could wolf down with ease. I must say that the breakfast burrito really hit the spot, with how soft the scrambled eggs were and how the textures within the wrap complemented each other quite nicely. Though the real star of the morning would probably be the cheesy tots, with how flavorful they were and how satisfyingly crispy each and every bite was - it was definitely something to consume while fresh and hot! Great and friendly service, comfy and cozy atmosphere, and portions that were just right for an easygoing morning fare. I'd totally come back again!

    Great local spot for lunch! I love the art on the wall of vintage kitchen tools. They typically fill up for brunch and will have a wait 11:00am so get there early or be prepared to wait. Prices are very reasonable and they are very generous about keeping your coffee full. If you do have to wait, stay put it's worth it.

    Rise N' Shine w/ scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, home fries, and marble rye.
    David L.

    Big portions of decent breakfast foods, with a menu focused on egg-based options, including a wide selection of omelets. I opted for the Rise 'N Shine w/ two scrambled eggs, home fries, andouille sausage, and marble rye toast. A few little tweaks could kick this from 3.5/4 stars to 5 stars. The andouille provided a strong, smoky spicy kick, that the relatively bland skin-on earthy potatoes needed. The scrambled eggs were too well done for my liking, but to be fair, I didn't request them any particular way. Marble rye was nice choice, but it always bugs me when they put a dollop of butter in the center rather than taking a moment to spread it crust-to-crust. The restaurant ambience is pleasant enough and the temperature inside was comfortable, but it is in a weird building that doesn't seem to be heated in the hallway or bathroom, so the bathroom is freezing and had no hot water. On the bright side, the portions are perfect - enough that you can skip lunch or have some leftovers. Coffee was smooth and hot with refills upon request. The fruit cup is more like a fruit bowl, with a nice amount of honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, and grapes. Service was prompt and friendly on a busy Saturday morning.

I no longer live nearby, so it's always a treat to come back and find that Culinary Delights is still here and thriving. During our visit, they had a steady stream of people getting food to go, or doing as we did... sitting down to enjoy the food while it was good and hot.

The good was the service…read morewas attentive, the coffee was hot and good, and the eggs in the omelet were perfectly cooked. The bad was the homemade corned beef hash was tasteless. The flavor improved once I added salt but the hash was still under seasoned. Sadly I won't return.

    "I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places…read moreIn that small cafe The park across the way" (Billie Holiday) One of the odd things I noticed right away was the inconsistency in the spelling of the name where we had a great breakfast. The parking lot sign has a single "s" as in Frescafe. So does their Yelp listing. But the logo over the front door has a double "ss" as in Fresscafe, as does their bill and website. So I'd say Double "SS" is the way to go? Anyway, thats just a minor quibble because we had a very nice mid-Sunday meal a few days ago. If an all day breakfast is your thing, you'll love their breakfast menu. We sure did. A big cheese omelet with toast and homefries was $10.98. I went for their Steak Bomb Omelet for $16.99 with steak, mushrooms, bacon, onions, peppers, and cheese (plus the toast and homefries) My Steak Bomb was excellent and huge. In fact we both took home half of our meals for the next day. Coffees were $3.29 apiece, which is on the high side, but possibly Metro West appropriate? Our server Abbey was vey pleasant and seemed genuinely mortified when she realized she had forgotten to give us our check at the end of the meal. This is a popular place and for most of our meal just about every table was filled. They are open every day from 7am to 2pm. Besides the big breakfast menu you will find lunch choices for platters, burgers, melts, sandwiches, clubs, wraps, paninins and salads. Besides the Natick location we visited, there's also one under construction in Framingham.

    Possibly the worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life!…read more Ordered two 18" pizzas via GrubHub, a sausage & ricotta, and a pepperoni. The former was a swimming pool of liquid on top, and wasn't even sliced. Unsliced pizza? Maybe they were worried all that liquid would destroy the box if they sliced it? The crust of the second one was actually soggy. Floppy pizza is a thing, but it shouldn't disintegrate! Also, the cheese over-cooked so that the oil separated, and the pizza was extremely salty. Combine that with the GrubHub (or store's?) driver just dropping the pizzas in my neighbor's driveway, and a photo of the location didn't show up for some time in the app, so I had to wander around randomly looking for my pizzas in my pajamas. Ate a few slices, but threw the rest in the garbage. Basically inedible. Never again!

The balsamic was tasty, but the amount was too small. I wish the bread was something more special than just a sub roll. They do have a really good deal on Monday for a buy one get one meatball sub. Husby said the meatballs were really delicious & tender. He's a fan of the sub roll. They were out of the lasagna, which I really wanted to try so I'll have to come back again and give it another go. The pizza & mozz sticks looks good as well.
