I took my young son to Cake for a mid week late breakfast. We were greated and sat by a waitress that was very sweet and attentive. She said our server would be right over, but she broight us our coffee and water. There were only 3 other tables...our waitress then came over, took our order and never came back. She didnt offer me more coffee, check in with us or make sure we were alright. She stood chatting with other employees. The precious woman dropped off our food and tended to the other tables. Our waitress then greeted and sat a couple that walked in, she started telling the gentleman how she kneq him, pulled out her cell phone and reminisced with them....then as I cleaned off our table and piled the dishes together, she eventually dropped off the check and quickly walked away. This being our first time, I assumed you pay at the counter and I was right. Disappointed in the service as it obershadowed the food which was actually excellent. A bit expensive, but worth it. We picked up several bakery items on the way out, and they were good. They offer day old cookies and treats, the cookies are just $1.00

845pm on a thursday and my fiance and I just returned from dinner. The food was good, we were happy, until the MICE came out and joined our end of dinner discussion. I couldnt sit still, seeing one behind me and then one in front of me. The waiter acted as if NOTHING was happening, although, he clearly saw the mice scurrying below. It was disgusting and it was such poor service....not even an apology about the RODENTS running around the dinner tables. Luckily, for CAKE, there were about 3 total guests for dinner. Reservations obviously not needed. Such a shame, really expected a nice night out at a BYOB> only recommend to those ppl not turned off by scurrying rodents.

Great atmosphere, disappointing food. If Cake would spend some more time on the quality of their entrees this restaurant would be a must-visit. I got the steak and eggs for brunch, and the steak was unevenly cooked (rare at one end, well done at the other) and roughly 40% fat. I left most of it on my plate. my companion got a frittata and that was pretty good, if a bit dry. the desserts were good of course, but I was a bit nauseated by the food.

Saturday morning, and I have no idea why there isnt a line out the door... Perfect breakfast, attentive and polite staff, nice atmosphere... Lovely. Great coffee. Quiche du jour- mushroom and sage with goat cheese.... PERFECT, light crust and fluffy filling. Side of home fries and extra crispy bacon... Literally the most perfectly cooked bacon Ive had, and Im suuuper picky about the crispness of my bacon

I enjoyed everything the bread made we want to give a standing toast to the inventors of wheat, yeast and ovens, I had a flounder special it was delish. I decided to have a dessert a chocolate torte. One of those chocolate desserts so rich you just know you didnt deserve it, should definitely not eat it all, but I did anyway, and then the simple decaf coffee made it perfect! Good Job Cake!

I liked the atmosphere and food there. But me and my friends waited for an hour and 20 min to be seated. Yes, its a tiny place. But they shouldve managed the tables in the order of checking in. It was not fair they called small parties first even everyone who came after us and not saving a table for us at all.

Very good, food was plated nicely. Every dish comes with a side of chips, salad, or Cole slaw. I got the chips thinking they were freshly baked, nope- right out of a bag. Everything else was delicious, I recommend the chicken salad or the Ultimate grilled cheese.

Took my wife here after church. Service staff is very friendly, and food was excellent! Be prepared to wait, it took over a half hour to get seated, but was well worth it. If you want to impress your wife/girlfriend - go here.

This place is truly awesome. I stepped outside my norm and had the quiche with roasted red peppers and feta it was to die for. Very creamy and the crust was out of this world. Will be going back soon.

Quaint atmosphere. Lunch selection was unique-hard to make a choice. Plated beautiful. Fresh, light, satisfying meal. Dessert choices were even more difficult-you must try this place!

Pricey but delicious. Be prepared to wait, as their kitchen is tiny. Make sure to save some room and pick out something from the dessert case on your way out.
