Not only an excellent brunch place, but also a damn fast one. This place has its operations down cold--a beautiful thing on a weary, rushed weekend morning. Love the Greek skillet in particular.
Charlie TillerJune 5, 2017So good we ate there twice. The Chicken & bacon-infused biscuits & gravy was delicious. The Azteca omelette is a creative delight. My wife had the banana loaf French toast which was dessert breakfast
Amy GraffMay 1, 2017In recent years, Marmalade has upped its game! Mayan Omeleta is awesome, servers keep your coffee topped up, and the french toast specials are over-the-top. Rarely wildly busy, even on weekends.
Dominique CruzFebruary 10, 2014Such delicious food!The chilaquiles dish was amazing!Can't wait to try something new next time. Beware:if you do not specify what size carafe you want the waiter will bring you the large,which is $10!
Christina MichaelsMarch 4, 2013Great food!!! The Mayan Omletta is amazing. Even 2 year olds loved it. So filling. Such an inconvenience that you can't split the bill so be prepared ahead of time and it works out!! :)
Sabina KajtezovicNovember 22, 2014Green omelette (artichokes, avocado, spinach) and a side of whole grain pancakes (they offer variety of whole grains to choose from). Wait time up to 30 minutes. No alcohol and no split checks.
Graylyn RooseMay 25, 2017Great diner/breakfast spot with good service. Try the beignets..and maybe make sure to get a few orders. They're delicious!
Ted WagnerJuly 29, 2016Bisquits and gravy, french toast, fried plantains, fabulous corned beef hash...great coffee, too! But especially my daughter Ariel's company!! :-)
Jon RobertsAugust 17, 2014Serves an always changing menu with creative variations on breakfast and brunch dishes such as French toast and eggs benedict. I've never been disappointed eating here.
Bobby KennedyFebruary 20, 2017Equally adept at sweet and savory options. Be sure to ask about the specials on the chalkboards.
Take advantage of their specials, they are always great! I try a different dish everytime I come and am always delighted with the food and the service!
LifeofJdanMay 6, 2012Don't be hypnotized by the Eggs Florentine Benedict - crabcake is oversized, dry and all corn/potato filler. Stick with the huevos or breakfast quesadilla
You ca substitute potatoes for a selection of fresh seasonal fruit (mango, strawberry, papaya, etc) for only a dollar.
The food is always great and the service is even better - especially with Margie
The harvest omelette was full of flavor! It was possibly the tastiest I've ever had.
For those who enjoy a quality brunch and can do basic math(no split checks). This is the place for you!!!
Bright, nicely decorated space. Attentive staff. Must try: French toast and neo classico omeletta.
Melissa DundovAugust 7, 2011Had a great omelette. And my friend had Pear French Toast which she said was amazing.
Every time I visit I try something new. I have never been disappointed.
Not your normal diner fare, and if you're a sweet breakfast lover, you'll be in heaven.
Evan DamianoMay 4, 2012The food is very flavorful, if you have a group just bring cash. Splitting checks is kind of douchy, and slows down service.
Michael VoglApril 8, 2012Pancho Villa skillet is good, Breakfast Quesadillas okay; but both VERY greasy from the chorizo....food almost swimming in grease.
The bonapart is amazing! Well, everything is amazing!
Mariel CoronaAugust 9, 2013Disappointed. Based on the pics, I thought it would be amazing. Eggs were borderline raw and drenched in oil. Potatoes were overdone, dry, and flavorless. Won't be going back.
Matt RobinsonJanuary 29, 2012Slow service from the waitress. The omelet was ok. The potatoes were not. Wrong toast. The syrupy marmalade was some kind of gross apricot spread.
Katie NierzwickiOctober 30, 2011Not the ideal group brunch spot. No split checks and no split cards. Sad day.
