Half Day Cafe — Restaurant in Ridgeland

A rushed frantic morning took us by this tucked away gem! We quickly turned in to sample the breakfast. The parking lot was very small, but if need be there looks to be parking in the back. We were fortunate to find someone leaving as we pulled in. Walking in we were greeted by a seat yourself (thank you, we will) sign - which I love - and two employees calling out a welcome to us from the dining room and kitchen! We found a nice booth and seated ourselves. Clean, very well kept dining room, counter area and bathrooms. Extremely friendly, efficient and professional staff. Jania was our waitress and she couldn't have been better. The food arrived quickly after ordering, piping hot and exactly as requested - I like crispy bacon and we'll done sausage! I ordered The Standard - my scrambled eggs were very good, the sausage spicy-savory and delicious, the hash browns were that crispy edge, soft and almost fluffy perfect interior combo - I had a hard time not eating all the hashbrowns and nothing else! The toast was good according to Hubby (I was obsessing over the potatoes). Husband ordered the Flapjacks with crispy bacon. Flavorful light and chewey delights. I asked for a portion of my sweeties pancake! And wonderfully crispy - not burned, thank you! -bacon. They had sugar free syrup and a wildly delicious "spicy" homemade syrup that was amazing! And spicy hot! lol.. I cut it with regular syrup. Crazy good! The coffee was especially smooth with some depth of richness that is hard to find in a restaurant. We got there at the perfect time to eat and visit. People were in and out for take out, and couples were slow to enter but the booths were almost always full. The food was extremely good, the prices were amazing - especially for the amount served, the ambiance morning-fresh-welcoming, and the staff made us feel like we were long lost patrons! DO try this restaurant. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Jania and Te, we'll...

Lovely clean establishment!good prices. I got the beef dip sandwich and a smoothie. The house made chips were great! The sandwich had good flavor, but the meat was not sliced as the menu indicates, it was pulled like brisket and VERY dry. That was super disappointing. The au jus helped the dry meat but didn’t save it. And there were barely any mushrooms or onions which was also disappointing. The key lime smoothie was SUPER sour, I drank half and threw the rest away. But the side of bacon I got was AMAZING. Flavors were there, next time I’ll try breakfast instead, maybe that is...

Our first visit to Half Day Cafe. Ordered 2 Breakfast Sandwiches to go, and WOW!! Didn’t even finish them before I was on the phone calling them to let them know they were 2 of the best we’ve ever eaten! Very bountiful in size - nicely assembled and packaged; and delicious! Now we can’t wait to try other items on their menu breakfast/lunch menu. Another added bonus is how clean and inviting the place is. Definitely a pleasant discovery here in...
