From the outside, this looks like your average breakfast place, but resist the urge to go inside! The atmosphere is... actually, there is no atmosphere. The place is dark and entirely without charm, and that's the least of its problems.
Where to begin? Let's see, the menus are nothing more than photocopied pages stapled together in a corner. The prices are those you would expect to pay for a gourmet breakfast in a major US city. I opted for eggs with grits and sausage, and disgusting does not even begin to describe this dining experience. I'm pretty sure the sausage patties were bought in the frozen section of the supermarket. The grits formed a runny blob on my plate, and tasted accordingly. The eggs... I mean, is it possible to screw up two eggs over easy? Yes, it is possible.
After finally serving us, the waitress disappeared without a trace. She returned after half an hour only to ask if we wanted more coffee (what do you think?). The bathroom entrance was almost blocked by a table where some hapless couple was probably enjoying their breakfast even less than we were.
It must have taken them fifteen minutes to give us the check, and one of us had to go up and stand there waiting for it. The tab ran to $38 for 3 people - that's with a <15% tip. My memory of Cobblestone cafe will never fade, just like the nausea that persisted well into the afternoon.
