Food was good! The only downside is that almost everything we ordered came out cold and that was a huge downside. Secondly their soda machine did not have enough carbonation and could coffee was cold too. Probably best to visit on a weekday when it’s not too busy? Service was great awesome waitstaff but yeah downside was definitely food temps and we never got offered any refills and once our food came out the waitstaff didn’t really check on us until it was time to get the bill.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The Downtown Cafe was a great experience the server I had was excellent. The food came out hot and prepared to be eaten. Every table has all the condiments that you will need for your meal which I find very convenient. Only reason I gave the food 4 stars is simply because I wish restaurants would go away from these chicken tenders and actually give whole wings with the waffle. Completely different taste as well as texture would take that meal in a new direction.

I have had alot of eggs Benedict in my life. But this was probably the best I have ever had. And our server Andri was so nice.The price wasn't bad at all. Definitely 10/10 best brunch. ;)
