Crema's Take

This Friendly's is a nostalgia play that works best if you're not expecting the quality of the original chain heyday—the ice cream is genuinely good, and the staff, particularly servers like Kaitlyn, are genuinely warm and attentive. It's a reliable spot for a casual breakfast or a sweet treat with kids, though the food itself has declined enough that you'd be better off elsewhere if you're hungry for anything beyond the frozen desserts. Come for the throwback vibe and the kindness of the people working there, not the culinary experience.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

My Waitress was Kaitlyn V, and let me tell you, she is the sweetest person ever. I came in alone after skateboarding in the heat, and she checked in on me to make sure I was ok and make sure that everything was good. And the food was amazing. And the ice cream, is of course…
