Traditional diner on College Avenue. I had only been inside once and sat in the window many years ago, but I have had delivery as my husband loves to order from here.

Quaint cafe, real nostalgia look, serving breakfast all-day, till closing at 2pm of course. Friendly, speedy staff, food arrived less than 8 min. Clean, very spacious, not busy look, besides the white walls, $300 framed paintings ringing around guest. Food is good, fresh, portions could’ve been a bit bigger. Waitress apologized for wiping down my table when I went to the restroom. Very polite.

Five Star classic Americana breakfast with a sleeper cafe latte that exceeded all expectations. As a test, I usually order the eggs Benedict and a while it wasn’t overly innovative, was absolutely solid. (on second thought, I ordered a Blackstone) Hollandaise sauce was good, eggs cooked perfectly, and a home fries well, yummy home fries. But the Cafe Latte was a surprise, so well made that I didn’t need to sweeten it. This place is a slice of how this neighborhood used to be, and still here going strong after 50 years I believe. Thumbs up!

Ricotta Pancakes: Ok they were good, but I was expecting something thicker and fluffier by what the menu described.

I have been going here a long time and the staff has made my trips there so enjoyable. They even remember to bring a lemon with my hot tea. I love RRcafe.

It’s a cute little diner style cafe with nice staff, but unfortunately the food was super average and ingredients were not really good. The prices seemed reasonable until we had our dishes, it’s not worth it
