Off The 8 Café — Restaurant in California

We enjoyed a very nice brunch here recently. There was outdoor seating available which was nice but small. We opened the large umbrella over the little table at some point to keep it out of my son's face. When closed, the bottom edge was too close for comfort and convo.

The only time they stopped by after giving us the food was for the check. Very poor service and food. Plus, the prices are outrageous. $15 for bacon and eggs? Id expect much better quality food for those pricrs. We probably won't be...

They use My first name and greet me with coffee sr ? The coffee has a rich tast with out a burned or bitter flavor. Rich taste. The stake and eggs is my main stay breakfast .the stake is a generas cut felay more of a dinner stake than a topical breakfast stake .the Orange juice is fresh squeezed. Every day ! And the survives is celebrity quality. !I hope no one reads this so I can get a good seat.! PS Alpine is my home town .this review...
