Crema's Take
“This beloved Lincoln institution has earned its stellar reputation as much for its warm, welcoming atmosphere as for its consistently excellent breakfast fare—think pillowy cinnamon rolls and pancakes so generously portioned they're nearly legendary. The independent spot strikes an impressive balance between nostalgic charm (all marble and mahogany touches) and genuine hospitality, with staff who make you feel like a regular from your first visit. Fair warning: arrive early, because the combination of solid food, reasonable prices, and genuine community spirit means this place fills up fast.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Better than average breakfast diner. Eggs were fresh, smoked bacon was good, bread fresh and food was prepared well. I really loved the atmosphere. Marble with a touch of mahogany and old fashioned brass...bathrooms and all. Tile on the floor was pretty nice. I would have given…
