Thorndale Cafe

Breakfast at this hidden gem was excellent.
Walked past it but eventually found it.
Eggs cooked just right, pancakes perfect.
Very friendly couple. Will be back.

The food here is super basic, which is what you would expect from a hole in the wall like this. What makes this place stand out is (1) the service, and (2) the prices. If you want cheap and quick food served by a friendly face, come here.

Needs an update for the delicious REUBEN sandwich. This is a favorite lunch of mine, and a place that makes a good one is a real find.
The sandwich itself was the perfect size. Not too big, not too small. Perfect ratio of corned beef to sauerkraut (I requested extra). On buttery rye. Just great.
The coffee here is delicious, and I also had an uncharacteristic Mexican Coke with my sandwich. When in the area, I get my morning coffee here, as they don’t mess with the small plastic sips of half n’ half, they simply hand over the carton. We like this.
My awesomeBF loved his cheeseburger. We both love the fries here. Two can eat very well for $ 20 ish.
They’ve also got an assortment of candy behind the counter, so you can round off your meal with a Ring Pop or two. That cracks me up.

Incredibly friendly service and tasty, very affordable breakfast/​deli menu. I come by here once every few weeks … it’s the kind of place you feel good about supporting.

Stopped in to get my food fix. I wanted a certain kind of breakfast, and walked right into this place. Not many open in the morning, but this one was.

We’re new to Edgewater and trying out all the local Mom– n-​Pop spots. I’ve walked by this one for weeks and never noticed it sandwiched between other storefronts. My loss: this is a hidden gem.
This café’ is run by the Brito-​Tinoco family with a very friendly young lady taking the orders who is just as vivacious in English as she in Spanish. Menu is pretty large with mostly deli fare plus tacos, fried rice and some Greek flavors. Prices are VERY reasonable; Starbuck’s coffee is $ 1.85.
Today’s Reuben sandwich was tasty and filling with a generous portion of corned beef. For a couple of bucks more, my wife’s fried perch dinner included toast, hash browns, corn and lettuce salad. Everything was fresh and well prepared.
Limitations are closing early in the evening (6:30 PM), no Amex, no online menu or ordering. But, if you want fresh comfort food prepared promptly with generous portions, check out this unobtrusive storefront. We’ll probably become regulars because it offers such a good value.

Convenient to the L, simple, cheap, and kind service at this lil café. Had some delicious eggs with my breakfast and plenty of coffee, definitely will be back :)
