First Place Cafe

This is always a great place for breakfast/ brunch. And we often buy a quart of soup to take home for later- the soups are always delicious.

We are in the neighborhood for a little vacation and one of our local friends recommend this place. Great recommendation! This is going to be our go to place for breakfast!

I’m going to give this place another try next time I’m in the area, cause I liked the owner’s hustle.

Cost reasonable, portions large, service reasonably fast with owner and his wife(?) the only 2 running it; but the food tasted like Sysco Food Service (not my favorite - cheap ingredients).

While they were busy for Sat. morning breakfast, I didn’t see anyone waiting for a table, but got the distinct impression that the owner wanted me to eat and move on - not linger over my coffee at a two-top, like I am wont to do on a Sat.

When I invited 3 friends to join me and asked to take a four-top, the owner kinda snidely replied “once they get here”, so I told my friends what he said and he lost their business as a result. But he seemed perfectly fine with the locals at the four-top that hung out as long as I did.

But like I said, I’ll give this place another try.

My son had come in and placed a to go order for the short period you were open between the two covid closings. He ordered 5 meals. One of them was the Cinnamon Vanilla French Toast. This was my dish, there was absolutely no flavor. However, since we ate at home, I put my own Cinnamon on. Not a big deal, I wouldn't not have left a review for this. The one star rating comes from the service. Throughout the entire transaction, the person assisting him was short, unfriendly and inconvenienced to be helping him. He felt bad that he was using 2 gift certificates. So instead of leaving an appropriate tip based on service, he left $20. The attitude of the person changed quick! It is a shame I had to explain a one star review, no business should have to be told to be kind to customers!

We loved our experience at First Place Café! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were attentive, efficient, and very kind. We were accidentally there past closing time without realizing it and yet the staff did not make any moves to rush us out. In fact, they remained considerate, helpful, and attentive despite us being there 20 minutes past closing! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to future visitors.

Perfect stop to eat outside of skytop lodge. Close and decent pricing. Deli/hot sandwich type of eatery. Customer service is very good. You can tell the owners care.

So etching for everyone thank you again for always having good food good prices and always ready on time it makes our trip wonderful.

Had breakfast here and everything was super tasty and the prices were great. Friendly service and a very comfortable family diner environment.

Fantastic restaurant with an organic local feel. The specials are great and change every day. The roast beef BBQ on a kaiser roll was fabulous, the bread airy and the beef richly flavored. The table areas are well sunlit and very pleasant. Only wish to live closer to be able to come back more often!

My husband and I stayed at the Skytop Lodge for a long weekend and we’re looking for a place to get breakfast outside of the hotel. We found this place and it was easily the food highlight of our trip. The interior is IMMACULATE, the owner routinely cleans and wipes down every touched surface. The food is fresh, absolutely delicious, well priced and quickly prepared. We enjoyed breakfast here every morning and will be dreaming about blueberry pancakes, cooper cheese omelettes, and sausage gravy over biscuits until our next visit. Thank you!
