great food and even better service ;) i love this place! The pancakes are huge and the Prime Rib Philly is amazing. (I like to add jalapeños and au ju to dip) i would also recommend the French toast sandwich (filled with cream cheese and either sausage or strawberries) or the spinach and cream cheese omelet! Don't forget to save room for dessert... two of my favorites are their homemade cinnamon rolls & cheesecake with fresh strawberries !

I drive by this place all the time and finally got around to trying it out for breakfast . It's a lot bigger than it appears to be from the outside . I really thought it was just going to be a little Corner Cafe with real simple stuff but it's a full-on restaurant and a pretty good size . I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy. They were ok. But the service was great and felt homely. I will go back.

Delicious Eggs Benedict with crunchy hash browns. The chocolate chip pancake was huge and looked yummy. So did the French toast. The soap special was roasted tomato with gouda cheese. Can't wait to go back and try their lunch menu.

This place is amazing! We tried a little bit of everything. Portions were huge. Eggs Benedict was delicious, eggs cooked perfectly and hollandaise was fantastic. Home fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. Chorizo was really good, perfect amount of spice and not too greasy. Our waitress Olivia was the best too! Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

Donna Warren and her crew have been satisfying the cravings of many with simple yet belly-filling meals. First at R-Place Bar & Grill and now at the Sarnoff Cafe. Portions are large and the food is what you would expect from your favorite Aunt who cooks everything from scratch. Sit at a table or at grab a meal at the counter! Get to know the staff and the regular customers and your life will be richer for it. Many of my friendships began when I walked into R-Place and now the Sarnoff Cafe is certain to provide the same! Give this friendly and inviting Cafe a try...you won't regret it!

This is one of those places that you don't really think about, you just drive past it because it kind of blends in. However you should definitely stop in, I ordered a burger expecting a small little thing ($8.75), but no it was loaded, and delicious. The wait time wasn't bad either.

A nice little breakfast spot. Not the cheapest, but good food regardless. It's really small so it gets busy fast. Top recommendation is the biscuits and gravy. But the pancakes, bacon, and eggs were all cooked well every time we have been.
