Northern Exposure Cafe

Stopped in for breakfast very good very big portions could have shared a meal next time is will get the half order

Typical Baldwin restaurant atmosphere (nothing fancy). Food is OK, nothing to write home about. Breakfast is so-​so; lunch sandwiches and wraps are descent. Always extremely slow to serve food.

This used to the Main Stream café, which I was sorry to see close a couple years ago because it was the best breakfast/​lunch place in Baldwin. Stopped in this week to see how the new ownership was doing and I was pleased. Ordered the 2 egg/​hash browns/​bacon/​toast special ($ 4. 59!). Eggs were a perfect over-​easy, got the hash browns extra crispy just as I’d asked, bacon was just on the edge of crisp, which in my eye is perfect. Coffee was OK and refills arrived just when I needed them. My only complaint is the time it took my order to come… close to 15 minutes, and this when the place was nearly empty. Hopefully on busy weekend mornings they boost the kitchen staff. Still, I’m looking forward to trying them for lunch on my next trip to Baldwin.

Solid, fine breakfast. We had over medium eggs, bacon (thick cut, was pretty crispy) and hash browns. I had a pancake which was fairly rough and chewy– wouldn’t recommend that– and my wife had home made wheat toast, which was great. Coffee was mediocre but not bad. $ 17 out the door, which is pretty reasonable. It did take about 20 minutes to get our breakfast, which is a little long. We were relaxing and drinking our coffee and being entertained by local gossip at the next table over so we didn’t mind the wait! :)
