cafe ez 2 at elkridge

Cool cafe. Sometimes cafes with extensive menus are a bad thing, but these folks are the exception. Customer service was Elite. Multiple hosts checking on each table even managers. The food came out fast, everything felt and tasted fresh. A definite place to come visit. Me and Mami ordered the following: Her -Ice Nutella late - 8/10: not too sweet. Good balance, some might want it to be sweeter. -Chorizo burrito - 9/10: extremely flavorful. Would be a 10 if there was more of whatever sauce the chorizo was cooked with. Me: Tropical blend smoothie - 8/10: a good and simple fresh smoothie Santa Fe omelette - 10/10: Wouldn’t change a thing. If you love sauce, some more go the crema can be added but isn’t needed. Try this Home fries - 10/10: well seasoned and perfectly crisp. Curious George French toast - 7/10: Wished it was a little softer ie crispy outside soft inside. Felt like it was a bit overcooked, hard to cut. Amazing toppings and doesn’t need syrup. Food rating: 52/60 Customer service rating: 15/10

If I was staying at the holiday inn across the parking lot I wouldn’t want to be carried across the parking lot to have breakfast here. It was so bad I am writing this review from the table to capture my disgust. Pancakes tasted like powdered sugar coated cardboard. They forgot my eggs twice and when they came I immediately hated the sight of them. The best part of my breakfast was the turkey bacon all two pieces. So for horrible blueberry pancakes and ok turkey bacon. My guest got a waffle with pork sausage and a coffee. Bill comes to almost $50.00 I was also able to taste the blueberry waffles as they gave me that initially by mistake. They tasted like freezer burnt eggs that were stale. Never coming here again.

Delicious food, enjoyed the extensive menu options and beverages available at this location. But the service?! Terrible. Walked in for the first time and no one acknowledged us. There was no sign to sit and wait or to seat ourselves so we awkwardly stood there while a group of servers stood at the counter chatting and laughing. When I went to approach them, one walked up and asked how they could help. I asked to dine in and they said I could sit where I’d like. We (me and my husbands sat with the menus and looked it over, another couple came in five minutes after us and sat at the table next to us. They quickly received waters and got their order taken…..before us….. I had to go back to the counter and ask to be serviced, which they did……and never came back. Got one water for the meal. Other table got their food, check and left before we did because the servers didn’t even try, ask us how we liked it, nothing. Having to chase them down and seeing tables treated better than us left a bad taste. Won’t be back.
