Crema's Take

“Thornton's is a genuine neighborhood gathering spot that opens early with complimentary coffee refills and excels at the fundamentals—fluffy pancakes piled with fruit, excellent breakfast bagels, and generous portions that justify the consistently warm service. The tree-lined terrace creates an inviting backdrop for lingering over breakfast or lunch, making it the kind of place locals return to daily because it feels like home, not because it's trying too hard. While the coffee itself is straightforward rather than specialty-focused, the overall experience of unhurried eating and genuine hospitality is what keeps people coming back.”

Had breakfast here every day of our trip and one lunch. Good food, nice staff feels like a local spot Opens early, free coffee refills. Pancakes are excellent with plenty of fruit. Chicken burgers and sandwiches hit the spot too.

I'm thrilled to have discovered a restaurant so close to the mall that wraps me in a cozy atmosphere. The entire experience was truly uplifting, although the coffee was a bit of a stepping stone to greater heights. Nonetheless, it was a delightfully pleasant breakfast experience.

We had an amazing experience, everything was so tasty! The Alex’s crazy 2’s was a great meal, I highly recommend you try it!! The breakfast bagel was absolutely delicious and the service was great

All American breakfast spot, with a terrace on a beautiful street, perfect for a late breakfast or early lunch on a sunny day. Service is accommodating, warm and homey. Portions are generous (that’s an understatement) and the food is marvelous, fresh ingredients and great taste.

Decent spot for breakfast/lunch with a classic brunch spot menu. Driving past every day I knew i had to try it, and now can say it isnt anything special but if its convenient id recommend a stop. The smoked salmon eggs benedict were well made. A little pricey for breakfast as many of these diners are
