Good Morning Cafe - Millstadt, Illinois

I ordered the paperboy’s breakfast which comes with two eggs, hash browns or fried potatoes and your choice of toast. I went with the fried potatoes and wheat toast. My order came out fast which was nice. The first thing I noticed was the larger quantity of eggs than what I usually receive. The eggs were very warm and cooked perfectly. The fried potatoes were cooked evenly on all sides. The bottle of ketchup that I used on the potatoes said it was their house blend and it was good. The wheat toast was cooked just right, not under or over toasted. There was a short wait when I arrived so I decided to sit at the rail along the windows which was comfortable. I had the sweetest server who kept checking on me. This is a simple diner that delivers good food and good service.

Absolutely one of the best breakfast places around! This is a regular weekend stop for our family. The amazing staff are always friendly and treat you like family. Excellent coffee and great food!

This place was a pleasant surprise! Food was amazing, priced well, and the staff was great. Will be back regularly. Not particularly a fan of the pyramid scheme brand shakes advertised but oh well! Also they will charge you for absolutely anything extra you ask for, whether it’s butter or sour cream so that kind of sucks.

I got the cinnamon roll waffle and fried potatoes. It was soooo good. I got a turtle latte that was so good I got a second one to take home. The only thing I have to complain about is that it is a small establishment with only tables, no booths, so sound carries very well and it can be very very loud. Definitely worth it though for how good it was. I will most definitely be back.

Had the Good Morning Skillet. The gravy was good. Not pastey or over salted. Potatoes were good. Hot , crispy and not greasey. Scrambled eggs were scrambled eggs. A little overcooked for me, but were good.
The waitress very nice and friendly.
Wife wanted a BLT, but that was on the lunch menu. So she got an egg sandwich minus the egg and cheese. So it was bacon on a bagel. Pretty close to a BLT. All in all good food and the place was clean.

Stopped by for breakfast. I had the good morning skillet like last time. Wife had a small stack of pancakes. Have to say the gravy on the good morning skillet was a little watery and not near as much egg as last time. Small stack of pancakes is more than enough. We both only ate half of our plates. Server kept us full on drinks and was very attentive. She was (Faith) pleasant and bubbly. Hope she's here again when we come back.

Update: we tried again today and had Sophie. She did a good job!

We have been going here since they opened and found a few regular employees that are excellent and always do great, one of the main reasons we go here (good service is hard to find). The past few weeks, we have had someone else and she has been terrible. This past Friday, our server didn't come take our order for over 10 minutes so we had to ask someone else. She never filled our drinks, then gave us a bill for $28 for 3 pancakes (just water, no drinks). Luckily, it was figured out, but not until after we paid, but should not have happened. Then we asked who would get the tip and I couldn't stomach giving someone a tip that didn't do anything while the other waitress would get nothing. We gave them both separate tips, but not sure I will be back unless I know I will get someone who will treat me and other customers right in this industry. And we weren't the only ones that had that issue. I hope it turns back around at some point and they get some better training or more friendly servers like they had, but for us, it may be awhile before we and our friends and families return.

Great little gem here in our little town. The food is top notch for Breakfast or lunch. They are always busy but the wait is never to long. Great coffee and espresso menu as well. I highly recommend!

Have been looking forward to this place opening for awhile and wow it did not disappoint! The huevos rancheros & breakfast tacos were incredible & our waitress, Faith, was probably the nicest & best server I have ever had (and I’ve worked in the industry for 10+ years!) all of the staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was so bright & refreshing. Will definitely be a new Sunday tradition for my husband & I !
