Crema's Take

Echo Lake Cafe is a cheerful gathering spot where locals linger over genuinely tasty coffee and generous, fresh-made breakfasts in a modern space surrounded by flowers and natural light. The staff here has a real warmth to them—reviewers keep coming back for the excellent service and those notably big, fluffy pancakes as much as the reliably good brew. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a slow morning or meet a friend without feeling rushed, with plenty of room to spread out on the patio or inside.

Nice place and staff very friendly. But, the food was mediocre at best. My country fried steak came with "gravy" that I could hang wallpaper with. I scraped it off the soggy breading and piled it up higher than my crumpled napkin. The small piece of meat was decent and the soft, not crispy coating had good seasoning. The home fries were overcooked and mushy. The over-easy eggs were great. A bloody mary was really good. Oh, I got a whole $1 credit for the country paste. Pretty sad meal for $20. The wifes tuna melt was similarly dissapointing. It was a wasted $40+. Keep driving. All of the folks raving about this place have very low standards.

The service here was very good and our server, Kelly, was so nice and very helpful. The pancakes were very good and very big ( to keep in mind). The hot chocolate was very delicious and the Bloody Mary was also very good. This is definitely a place I would come back to!

Echo Lake Cafe is a cool spot with a charming ambiance, offering plenty of indoor and patio seating. The property is beautifully surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush green grass, making it a visually appealing place to dine. It's quite popular, so we ended up waiting around 30 minutes for a table. Once seated on the patio at a large table, we found the food to be quite good, though not gourmet by any means. The menu is a bit on the pricey side, and the wait for our food was pretty long—nearly an hour. Despite the delays, it's a great place for breakfast or lunch if you're not in a rush.
