Downtown Local is near a local brewery, yoga studio and other shops. Upon entering the space we were greeted immediately and the space felt cozy. There were plenty of chairs and they had cute decor up for the fall. The menu features your typical coffee/sandwich shop with breakfast and lunch options. I ordered their bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and was very underwhelmed when I went to take my first bite. The sandwich overall was small. The bacon was extremely thin and I think there was only one fried egg on the already small bagel. It definitely felt like something I could make at home yet the sandwich was $10! I wouldn't recommend the BEC bagel however maybe other items on the menu are better. The service again was great.

Poppy's Place in Front Royal is a TOTAL return to another time. Poppy, after whom the restaurant is…read morenamed, is the grandfather of the people who work (and I suspect at least partially own) the place. You walk in and order at the counter. This is a down home breakfast place where clearly everything is made to order from scratch. When we arrived, there was a woman waiting on a large takeout order. The order was for the wedding party for her daughter who was getting married that day. The bride so loves this place that she wanted her wedding party to share breakfast from her favo spot. So you get the picture. Very simple, very local. We ordered an array of breakfast items that included omelettes, grilled cheese, egg and cheese and pancakes, toast, along with coffee. The service was wonderful, the people who work here are wonderful. The food is good, certainly not great. I am from a bigger city and perhaps my expectations are skewed from that. This is a great place to visit for breakfast just outside of the National Park and it feels nice to support the local business. Just know what to expect.

Some people ordered takeout at 7:45 and I think I saw steam come out of her ears. The barbecue pulled pork sandwich was great and it comes with two sides - the mac & cheese was delicious and so was the coleslaw. My friend got the grilled cheese brisket, which was great, but only came with prepackaged chips. My other friend got a BLT, which did not have mayonnaise on it, but luckily there's a condiment bar..
