C J's Restaurant
70 South St Unit A, New Britain, CT
Crema's Take
“C J's is a no-nonsense breakfast institution where the owner still works the floor and the coffee keeps flowing whether you're a regular or a first-timer—the kind of place that's perpetually packed because the corned beef hash omelettes and home fries actually deliver on the promise of old-school diner comfort. The prices won't make you wince and the service moves with the rhythm of someone who knows exactly what they're doing, making it feel less like a tourist trap and more like you've stumbled onto what locals have been quietly protecting for years.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I've driven by 1 million times and stopped in for the first time for breakfast and was shocked at how crowded it was, and excited at the look and chatter happening. This place is full of happy customers. I ordered the gyro omelet, lamb/beef, onions, tomatoes, fetta cheese, it…
I just so happened to pass by and was really craving breakfast food. As soon as I walked in, they greeted me, and I was able to sit where I wanted. The menu had a lot of options I've never seen anywhere else. The waitress were calling everyone by name, which says they have…
