Crema's Take

Café 26 is a beloved neighborhood spot where unhurried mornings are celebrated, not rushed—expect a welcoming wait because this small, family-run kitchen takes time to get things right, from impossibly fresh bread to creative breakfast dishes like Egyptian-inspired eggs in tomato alongside classic comfort favorites. The genuine warmth of the staff (reviewers can't stop raving about specific servers by name) and the convivial atmosphere make it ideal for lingering over coffee with friends, family, or coworkers, whether you're there for a birthday brunch or a team gathering.

Came here for a team brunch, they accommodated us well. Food was great, no complaints. Our waitress was good and patient, took a while to order and for all the food to come out but we did have large party and there were others there. Great atmosphere, would visit again

This little gem may be small but it's mighty. Well worth the wait and service was great! The Breakfast Burger was too legit to quit and the potatoes were chef's kiss! I also had an iced coffee that did not disappoint.

I went here with my sister for her birthday to grab brunch, and we absolutely loved the food and the customer service especially from Jasmine! The place is small but has enough seating, and as soon as we walked in, we were greeted right away by the staff. I had the eggs Benedict, which were delicious. My sister ordered the French toast with eggs and bacon. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. Jasmine was super nice and kind to us, and they even sang happy birthday to my sister, which made the experience extra special. Next time, I’m definitely trying their coffee I had a strawberry lemonade this time, which was really good. We’ll definitely be back

Plain and simple independent restaurant (seems family run) that makes amazing breakfast meals. Bread is so fresh. Fresh greens with plates. American favorites, but the Egyptian inspired eggs in tomato sauce w feta is mind-blowing good. Served in a cast-iron skillet. Just a wonderful place. Do not miss.

LOVE this place!!!! Excellent service. Everyone was extremely friendly. Good vibes. Don’t go here if you’re in a rush and dining in. This is a popular spot and there will be a wait and food is cooked to order. Everything we had was tasty. My friends got pancakes and they were sooo fluffy!!
