Home Kitchen Café

Sizable portions of classic breakfasts (omelets, Benedicts, French toast) and a handful of standout Latin-influenced dishes (terrific migas, huevos rancheros, and chorizo frittatas) are on the menu at this former gas station. Expect lines on the weekend, but this throwback diner has a lot of seats, including an old-school breakfast counter and a nice upstairs patio. Don’t leave without grabbing one of the locally legendary (and huge) cinnamon rolls (“sinnies”) or sticky buns (“stickies”). Lunch is burgers, sandwiches, and big sandwiches on homemade bread with house-smoked meats.
