Down Town Cafe

On Monday, I went out to eat in Down Town Rochester for lunch with my mom and our good friend at the Down Town Cafe. It is a small, cozy, and very plain one room cafe with tables spread throughout the entire room. If you prefer to eat outside, there is  a small area outside the cafe with tables. The smell made my mouth water as I stood waiting to be seated.  The restaurant is so small that there is literally no where to stand while you are waiting for a table. As more and more people come, you are basically standing on top of each other and others while they are tying to enjoy their meal, which I found very aggravating. The restaurant is one of down town Rochester’s most popular cafes and is always very busy. They have amazing breakfast. Some of my favorites are the creme brulee french toast, or the honey waffles. For lunch, I ordered the sun dried cherry salad. I thought it was outstanding and everything was very fresh.You can get so much to eat for a good price. It is a perfect place to go to for a quick meal. The service was great as well. Our waitress was polite and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. As I mentioned before, the cafe is very plain. I didn’t notice any music playing while I was eating there, which I found a bit awkward.  There is nothing special about it that makes it unique, so people that are looking for a fun lunch or breakfast date might be disappointed and find themselves very bored. I think that if the owners fixed the restaurant up, made it a little bit bigger, and create a better atmosphere, the place would be even a bigger hit. Around the Cafe, there is a lot to do. Down Town Rochester is a nice little town that makes you feel like you are up north. It has several shops and a beautiful park. There is also a Dairy Queen right across the street from the Down Town Cafe, so if you want to go elsewhere for  dessert, it is just a few steps away.  Down Town Cafe is the perfect place to go to if you just simply want a quick and easy meal that is also very satisfying. Even though  Down Town Cafe is not the nicest and most fun restaurant, it is still delicious. I am sure you would like the food if you go there and I highly recommend it!
