Waited approximately 15 minutes on sunday to get a table. It’s quite popular place I guess. We enjoyed the breakfast a lot, it was delicious. So do not change your mind when you see the queue.

Emily Layton

cozy breakfast spot . ordered the peanut butter banana French toast , delicious and not as sweet as I expected. excellent and fast service , accommodated my off the menu iced coffee request.

Tau Watts

Really good food and service, quaint setting, so be prepared for at least 15 min wait but it's so worth it. Great people watching . The blueberry corn waffles were breathtaking ????????

Perriann Hodges

Must try the peanut butter and banana stuffed French toast ! It is killer! There's a reason why Cafe 222 has been featured on so many shows. It's authentic , delicious, and decently priced.

An awesome breakfast menu and very reasonable prices! Near the convention center . Dine Al Fresco on the terrace rather than the street side.

If there's a wait, you can grab a cup of coffee at the station near the front; they'll add it to your bill

All the waffle and pancake versions are top flight. Best side is the Griddle Potatoes .

Get here early, because there's a line . Fuel up on PB & banana french toast before a long day at the convention center . Pay extra for real maple syrup . - Kellie, Community Manager
