There were a bunch of breakfast specials and we both ordered the lady liberty. You get all of their best: French toast, bacon, sausage, and two eggs your way. The French toast is always perfect and crisp. Their bacon is good quality and crunchy. The sausage here is hands down my favorite in the area as you can enjoy the crisp outer skin and a delicious sausage inside. Eggs here are great as they get them from Goffle Farms. I always prefer over easy. The toast here is always amazing and delicious as they use quality bread. Service is good however when we went to pay I was standing up at the counter and the girl working the register took people on line behind me as if she didn't see me. When we she finally got to me no apology and a bit of an attitude when she said "I'll get to you next". Other than that. I always enjoy my meals here.

I cannot recommend Simply Green Cafe enough! From the service to the food, this is now my favorite…read morebreakfast spot and one of my top restaurants. Everything on the menu is vegan, but my family truly could not taste any difference when we visited. We ordered the Oreo protein pancakes, blueberry pancakes, penne with vodka sauce, and a breakfast burrito. Since I turned vegan, I've been craving pancakes so the food really hit the spot. The pancakes were so fluffy and tasted incredible. The penne was also so flavorful and was maybe our favorite dish. The breakfast burrito was also filling and tasted great. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of food and would come here regularly if I lived in the area. Additionally, the prices were super reasonable and are definitely more affordable than the average restaurant in the area. Chelsea was our waitress and I want to give her a special shoutout because she was particularly helpful and friendly to us. She did an excellent job answering our questions and even was willing to share general tips on vegan cooking. She really went out of her way to help me out after I mentioned that I recently turned vegan.

I hope they don't make us feel like we are a burden next time the family eats at this establishment.

I kind of forgot about Morano's but after attending a few parties recently, where they had these…read moreamazingly delicious giant salads purchased from here, I was interested in going back. Being that I was attending a pool party today I offered to pick up sandwiches for lunch for a group of 9 and called in an order for 2 hours later. Sadly 3 of the sandwiches arrived on ciabatta bread instead of focaccia, which was quite disappointing as the only reason the sandwiches were picked were specifically to get the focaccia. And, one of the sandwiches we asked for no sauce as it was spicy and she can't eat spicy, and it arrived with sauce, smothered all over. I understand everyone has an off day but almost half our orders were wrong. If they had run out of focaccia for example, I wish they would just have called us so we could have adjusted our order. Not even sure if that's the case or if they were just rushing in the kitchen and just threw everything on ciabatta but either way today was not a good day for Morano's.

When I…read morearrived at 11 a.m. the day before the holiday to pick it up, I was surprised--and disappointed--to learn that they couldn't find my order at all. Janice, the owner, mentioned that this "sometimes happens with last-minute orders" and said she would look into it and call me back. There was no apology, just an implication that the issue was due to my timing. I never received a call. I ended up having to adjust my menu at the last minute, which was stressful, and the lack of follow-up from a place like Morano's felt unprofessional. I had hoped that once the Thanksgiving rush calmed down, someone might reach out with an explanation or apology, but that never happened. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

At the register, it was a little confusing as there was no line that had formed. There were people standing in front of the register and the young employee would just shout "next customer" and someone would decide to go next. In my opinion, I think the back room should have a door or curtain just for the employees privacy. I would not want customers seeing me eating or on my phone while I'm on a break. I'm sure most people know it's a break room, but for those who don't would be wondering why there are people sitting when the front of the store has customers waiting for their order to be taken. Back to the food... I got a panini with mozzarella, tomato, basil and chicken (additional $4.50). And I also go the Clean Green smoothie. They gave me a numbered placard so that someone could deliver my food to my table. The panini was good, but unfortunately the chicken was very dry and the ends of the bread was soggy. For something that was just made, the bread should not be soggy like it had been sitting in a liquid for a while. The smoothie was ok. I think they put too much vanilla extract in it because that was the only thing I could really taste. I think the banana needed to ripen for another day. Also, there was a grainy texture and I can't figure out why as there was no powder added to it. According to the menu, the ingredients are coconut water, banana, cucumber, spinach, dates, and vanilla extract. The total for my sandwich and drink was $31. This is an ok but overpriced lunch. I might come back to try something else in the future.

It's a small place, but it's decorated nicely and tastefully. My only issue was it was extremely cold in there. I get it that the people are making the pizza get very hot, but it was kind of uncomfortable and I had to keep taking my coat on and off. But that literally it was the only negative. We started with the arugula salad, which was absolutely delicious. Very fresh and crisp. The cheese on it was amazing. You could tell it was high-quality and we loved the sun-dried tomatoes. We then moved onto mussels in a red sauce they were very good. They were not stringy. They were not dry. The sauce was delicious but I would've said go a little bit later on the onions next time, but overall, it was very tasty. The pizza was definitely the stand out here. It came out much bigger than we thought it was gonna be and we usually are able to finish a whole thin crust pizza but we just couldn't do it. This time. The crust was cooked perfectly. Their sauce is absolutely delicious. I felt like I was eating my own families sauce. That's how homemade it tasted. We got black olives on it and I love the way that they were. It wasn't overloaded. They weren't wet and I have to say I don't know where they got their basil from but the taste was incredible. I do want to add that I found myself staring at the gentleman that were actually kneading the pizza dough... I am right from Italy and I felt like I was transported back home the attention that he was paying to the Joe it was definitely watching an art We will definitely be back here. Hopefully it'll be a little bit warmer lol but overall, this was definitely one of my new favorites.
