    Egg platter - scrambled eggs, salad, homefries, and sourdough Buttered Toast
    Yasasvi T.

    The service was friendly , and the ambiance of the place is very quaint and perfect for brunch. The food was perfect breakfast food, and I loved how the latte was slightly bitter from the amaretto but not in an overpowering way. I'd definitely come here again

    Bombay Masala Omelete
    Srinanda G.

    Stopped in for breakfast on a weekday and very pleasantly surprised. First impressions, the staff were friendly, the place was very clean and neat and we saw some people working on their laptops. Got the Bombay Masala Omelete which was really well seasoned but felt a tad bit undercooked. Also got the Hot Masala Fries and those were really well made. Wasn't expecting to receive as many fries as we did considering it was a "small plate" menu item, but no complaints. Ordered the lava cake for our sweet tooth cravings, and this one was a bit of a miss for us. This palce is also BYOB, which was nice. My favv and most important part is that this place is dog friendly, so it was nice being able to bring our puppy to brunch with us.

    Chicken sausage
    Ray L.

    Great food and service. Came on a snowy Saturday and was immediately seated. I called ahead and was pleased to hear they had space for my party of 4. We had the Apple cloud cakes, the regular cloud cakes, the chicken and waffle and the lamb burger. The food was really great. I would have preferred dark meat with the chicken and waffle but the breast was good and not dry. The lamb burger was excellent! The chicken sausage was not breakfast sausage, just regular sausage, and a large portion! The cloud cakes were also good. I do wish they chopped the apples up smaller. The seating is a tad bit tight? But not uncomfortable. 8/10 definitely recommend!

    Grilled Chicken Caprese

    Good, local spot with very nice staff. Easy parking and large menu variety - I would absolutely recommend this spot. Food was very good and ambience is cozy but not stuffy. Thanks for a great lunch!

    Alfredo Pasta with Chicken
    Ingrid C.

    It had been a while since I last visited, but there was definitely a change in owners, with a newly designed interior, and menu. We came on a Sunday morning which was BUSY... typical of other brunch spots in this area. Disappointed that other customers were seated before us (party of 2), even though they say that they didn't take reservations. After about a 40 min wait, we were seated. - Chicken Pasta (3/5): was craving more of a "lunchy" food, so ordered pasta. A bit one dimensional in flavor and too rich. The chicken cost extra. Wish there was some acidity to the dish to cut through the cheese. Staff were kind enough to give me hot sauce to complement it. - California Burger (4.5/5): my friend ordered this one, and she enjoyed it. She loved the fresh avocado and the side salad A good staple in the Edison area- just be careful of the long wait and the breakfast foods look promising. Ty for reading :^)

    Cappuccino and Double Cortado.
    Cristian G.

    Hard to say no to this place. Really good. The food menu is generous, with plenty of options to choose from. Everything is done very nicel, the presentation is great, and everything feels clean and well kept. The space itself is nice and roomy, with plenty of tables. The staff is friendly, and the wait time was quick. I had a sandwich as well as the omelette. The cappuccino was great, and so was the cortado. I recommend this place many times over. Great spot for breakfast or brunch.

    First time to this cafe .. seriously - from outside it doesn't look like a cafe . I thought it was a car mechanic shop i would say it's a hidden gem . Good location . Right on oak tree . Lots of parking outside . The cafe looked very interesting and. Ice ambience . Coffee tables looked very good for chitchats with friends and families . It's a bit pricey though. Ordered Nashville style burgers for about 20$ !!!! Food was awesome though ... burger was really well made and crispy . Spice level was perfect . Fries were good too ! We also ordered Bombay sandwiches and it tasted good . Bean rice salad was ok. Looked healthy .. price wise everything was expensive than normal pricing outside . Service was good . Space was a little constrained inside . Tables were close to each other and it was a noisy restaurant.. good experience overall .. 4 stars

    The service was warm and efficient from the moment I walked in. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance--modern, clean, and cozy enough to linger over breakfast. There was a great selection of breakfast options, with something for everyone--from lighter choices to hearty plates. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The real standout, though, was the coffee--smooth, bold, and perfectly brewed. It's definitely a spot I'd return to for a relaxed morning meal or a casual catch-up over coffee.

    Smoky Tom
    Joao L.

    We stopped by Edison Automat for a late Sunday breakfast and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ambience was relaxed, perfect for a chill afternoon meal. We tried the Smoky Tom Omelette and the Bombay Masala Omelette, and both were absolutely delicious. To drink, we had a regular coffee and an iced vanilla latte--both were excellent. Service was warm and efficient, rounding out a great experience.

    Bombay veg
    Susie D.

    Popular brunch cafe spot located in Edison with indoor and outdoor seating. From a menu ranging from American to Indian fusion food options, enjoyed the simple, classic Bombay veg sandwiches and Nescafé coffee (sweetener sits at the bottom, don't repeat my mistake and stir before drinking). The chips are not worth it but the fries are delicious. Only wish the service was a little better - while there is staff visible, only one server went table to table taking orders - making it a bit of a wait.

    Cobb salad
    Ryan S.

    I got the Cobb salad, which was great (4.5/5)! There was a ton of chicken on top, and it was a big portion overall! The service was good (4/5), and the interior is also nice! They have a big menu with a lot of good looking options.

    Devoured Pancakes with apples.
    Ms F.

    Everything has changed. New owners but it's not the same. They used to make the best London Fog. They brewed their own to make it. Now it's awful. They had a chicken bruschetta sandwich. That's gone. Might as well change the name because it isn't the same.

    Ask the Community - The Edison Automat

    Is this BYOB?

    Yes, but I don't know whether they provide wine glasses.

    So this place isn't actually an automat?

    You're correct.

    Where can I find the whole menu?

    They have it on the Cashier Counter.

I ordered the chicken scoop that was absolutely delicious. 2 Crispy chicken breasts topped with yummy bacon jam all on top of a delicious Belgium waffle drizzled with maple mustard syrup. It was not drenched in syrup which was great, the perfect amount of sweet and salty. For our appetizers we ordered the cauli tempura with the sauce in the side as our server Mericis suggested after my concern over the spice level; and I'm glad she mentioned it because one dip into the sauce and it was not for me. She joyfully suggested other sauces (garlic mayo, aji verde & chimichurri) that were delicious but the garlic mayo was my fave. We also got the nori roll which is one of our fave apps here. The sauce drizzled on top really takes it to the next level. For drinks I ordered the seasonal dulce plantain pudding latte -- yum! Loved every bit of it, especially that it wasn't overly sweet. Our server, Mericis was great. Always attentive, patient as I tried to figure out what I wanted to try next after coming for my 3rd time, and overall great vibes. She made our experience an amazing one on top of the delicious food and drinks we had. Will definitely return! Also love they have printed menus now!

The bread was perfectly toasted with just the right crunch while still staying soft inside.
