I haven't tried any of their other menu items, but this is based on the meal and experience I had today.
I heard about the Coffee Shop thru various sources, and I decided to drive an hour to see what the hype was about.
They have a Monster Sandwich Challenge, which they have two of.
The Classic Challenge is: 4 Monster Sandwiches 1 Hour No Bathroom Breaks $32
If you complete it, Free meal, free tshirt, and your picture on the wall.
The Extreme Challenge: 7 Sandwiches 1 Hour 30 Mins to complete. $56 Same rules and prizes.
So I decided to try the Classic Challenge.
The server was very friendly and sweet.
They had a packed house, but all the employees had smiles on their faces, despite how busy they all were.
So many customers came up to talk to me and told me about how the owners are very active in the community, supporting the fire depth, police dept, and various organizations and charities.
The customer seemed to really appreciate and support this local business and it was heartwarming to hear their stories as I attempted my Challenge.
The Sandwiches were delicious and so I took my time and chatted with the customers and employees.
Didn't need the full hour, as I finished in a little over 21 mins.
If I went full speed, I might have had 16 to 17.
Got a free meal, free t-shirt, and picture on the wall.
Always made sure to leave an extra tip for the server.
Halfway home, I realized I left my tripod there, but as soon as I called the restaurant, they were aware of it and told me that they would leave a note with it so I can pick it up in the future.
Very friendly atmosphere, I loved my experience...
Read moreI had a standard benchmark breakfast of eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast and coffee. Usually I get a fruit cup, but only blueberries & bananas were available. The potatoes had a steamy flavor that tasted less "fried" than most. I forgot to ask about peppers & onions.
The bacon didn't have a lot of lean, but was cooked optimally for the cut, with the result being slightly crisp, but not burned.
The toast wasn't buttered. This varies by region and restaurant. Many breakfast spots in this area deliver the toast buttered.
The portions were reasonable. For this meal I can only judge by the potatoes, which were a normal portion rather than the big pile you might get in some venues. The 1 egg in the photo was my preference.
As someone else said, the place has a lot of character. Chotchkies abound, and the bank building heritage is evident. The crowd feels local, and the tables are close so you are intimate with everyone around you (and their kids, walkers, etc.). This gives a good vibe if you like humans (which I have found most Delcoans do).
There are a few outside tables on the shady side of the building. I will try it next time for the fresh air and entertainment from the trains going by.
You cannot include a tip on your credit card, so hopefully you brought some dirty paper. Many modern people prefer to pay the entire bill with a credit card, even at a cost premium. In fact, the next generation likely won't know what to do if they can't pay the bill by phone. How will they figure the tip if it's not a button...
Read moreAlert to all delivery drivers. i am a very professional 5 star 100 percent delivery satisfaction driver for all apps. On 5/7/2022 i had a double order for doordash, and the order was 10 mins late and not ready. So i called doordash which is the protocol to let them know since as a driver we are being timed and held to a standard and to also minimize waiting in a packed store for safety reasons. 1. The workers told doordash the order was ready which is a lie because i went in and it wasnt. 2. i had doordash on the phone to hear this worker greet me with "dont call doordash the order is not ready," when he just told doordash it was ready." this is the 2nd time this has happened, this was a short male, prior was a taller female. Both rude and wrong for their actions. I will never deliver for them again and filed a report. The owner confronted me instead of the worker, which promotes and encourages this disgusting behavior of harrassing drivers and lieing to delivery services when delivery drivers are just following protocol and protecting themselves from dings for being late when it isnt our fault. Thank You. Just a heads up. I hope they improve their understanding and treatment of drivers helping their business. This...
