Great breakfast joint. Outdoor service is quick and easy and the food never disappoints. The peanut butter French toast and the chicken fried steak-solid choices. I’m not sure what kind of magic they do to their turkey bacon, but I’m here for it!

Possibly the best $50-$80 meal I have had in a long time! The patty melt was delish. The blueberry cornbread waffle was just right. And service was with a smile, yet professional. The owner (Terrell) led me in, and was checking in with a lot of diners. She is also the model in the picture below. Amazing! Thank you…will be back. ✌🏽💗🙏🏽

A lovely breakfast restaurant and family friendly. We had breakfast here 2 days in a row during our 5-day visit of the city. It was really lovely and the food was very tasty. The staff there was friendly, and despite how busy the place was, we were taken pretty good care. The only caution is that on a weekend, there will be a bit of a wait depends on the time you visit there. Overall, it was great and the waffle was delicious!!

Get the tamale and eggs! It's a bit on the pricey side, but Cafe 222 is a cozy diner with good coffee and great food. There are really friendly staff here too. It can be a nice send off if you're staying downtown on a trip.

OMG after long searches for a perfect what I rate 10 breakfast restaurant, i happened to find this gold mine while passing through. All the food is amazing because I watched as it was coming out. If you want a cinnamon roll from heaven this is the place. If you want a country style breakfast with all the trimming, this is the place. And if you are a family of four and on a budget this is the place for you. I will make it a point from here on forth to put this place as one of my stops when passing through.

Like the old song goes “Still Got It Girl” & this classic spot fits the bill. Friendly, warm, inviting and service with the smile, this breakfast eatery is delicious. Very large soft buttermilk pancakes, soft scrambled eggs with swiss cheese, and perfectly cooked turkey bacon. Quick service with seating inside and out, check it out, you will thank yourself later.

Had breakfast here with a friend while visiting for the weekend! Im we sat outside on a Saturday morning which was nice and mild. The service was fantastic!! And the food was really good (at least the scramble that I had and the blueberry pancakes!) I would definitely go back again!!

Great waffle! Great service! Great atmosphere! Everything is in order and everyone knows what they are supposed to do. I opted for basic waffle with fresh fruit and yogurt. Many other tempting menu options, from healthy to more greasy options. Recommended.

Place is very casual, café style, outdoor and indoor sitting arrangement and gets crowded, but the food is good. We went during cómic con, so that didn't help. Waited about 40 minutes on a Saturday around 10am. Server was quick bringing drinks and taking order. We had cornbeefhash, pb banana French toast and kids strawberry pancakes. ALL was exquisite and well worth the wait. Our bill was about 70 with tip included.
