Coffee: All of Cafe Eclectic’s drip coffee is fair trade and organic (Ruta Maya) which is a lil different from Folgers. Also, their espresso is Illy Italian Espresso… the only place serving it in the city. It’s the top when it comes to espresso. Every bean hand picked and roasted to perfection. Shipped from Italy in compressed tins to keep the freshness. A little more expensive than your average cup of joe but well worth the extra centage.

Biscuits: Hand made and mixed from scratch every morning. Baked with care and love. The owners own family recipe… a little short on salt but they leave the adding of flavor up to their patrons so that these Heaven sent Biscuts are up to their patron’s own preferences when it comes to flavoring. They don’t want them to overwhelm the other breakfast choices but to compliment them.

Bacon: Crispy yes, but available to your special order. Also special apple wood smoked bacon (which explains the flavor) different from most breakfast selections.

Scrambled Eggs: Made every morning from scratch out of real eggs (not the powdered stuff) Mary’s known for her eggs because if done right they might be oddly shaped but are never dry and are always fluffy. The shape is because it’s easier to create a light fluffy texture by messing with them less. I’d give those high marks. Also, no salt or pepper added – this is so that they can meet all of their customers specific dietary needs or desires. Their eggs are my canvas.

Pancakes: Are made from Delta Grind’s buckwheat flour, which can change their thickness. Another thing that effects their thickness are how soon they are made after the mix is done. Since the pancake mix is made from scratch several times a morning their fluffiness is always varying depending on timing. But scratch… not too many can say that.

Grits: Yes delta grind and yes not much flavor, but also because the cafe seems to believe that how much salt each patron intakes is up to them. The texture is hit or miss and that would be a definite problem for them to look at.

Service: Indeed hit or miss, and constantly changing and improving. Such are the ways of a new restaurant and restaurant owner.

Atmosphere: LOVE

Price: What most people tend to miss is that EVERYTHING at cafe eclectic is made from scratch and from the best ingredients the owner can possibly find… or afford. This of course raises their prices both because of their food cost and the extra labor that goes into every special plate that day.

Thanks for your reviews! It was great to read and very helpful!

Did you see the guy who works the counter that is a deadringer for Sid Selvidge? It freaks me out everytime I go in there.
