This was a really good place for a standard breakfast. The French toast was very good and they had some great coffee flavors. You could order at the counter to go or sit and eat. We went in at 9 on a Saturday and had no problem getting a table, plus the food came out quickly which was great! They do accept cards which was a big plus for a small breakfast place!

Cafe Mirror is ok. Not great, not awful, just ok.
Came here last weekend for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. The taste was there and the price wasn't too bad. Decent amount of bacon and still hot when cooked. Definitely a step up from Dunkin down the street but not worth making a special trip for.
We also got some kind of apple turnover that was just clearly not fresh and was $2 so definitely not worth it. The apple filling was canned and not fresh so I would skip over this.
I've also gotten donuts and coffee from here. Donuts are decent, better than Dunkin', but I would pay more from a specialty donut place if the craving hit again. The iced coffee is solid and if you get it Vietnamese style super sweet.
Sat down with a friend to have iced coffees a couple of months back since the place was dead and the staff seemed pissed we weren't getting food. We planned on tipping $5, and still did, but just seemed unnecessary since the place was empty.
I definitely don't and won't frequent here but if Jim's is too busy I might get a sandwich to go. -

This no-frills cafe is not the most inviting space from the outside, but it has quality food, inexpensive prices, and a lovely staff. I come here every weekend for breakfast, and I'm always impressed at the value. The breakfast portions are huge. Their baked goods (donuts, croissants, fritters, etc) are always delicious. They have solid coffee/tea. And the staff are efficient and friendly. A meal that costs $7 here would easily cost double that at a trendy brunch place.
The inside definitely needs an update; think of a typical local diner. I've come to find it charming. And for all of the extra value, I'm happy to stare at some shabby decor. -

Fantastic spot, looks like a dive but food was something special. Ordered a tuna melt on rye with fries and it was great!

$5.60 for 3 donuts and a croissant.
Chocolate Dip
Glazed chocolate cake donut. The ridges on this were ridiculous! It was so fun to break off different chunks and taste test--definitely felt more like a legitimate old fashioned with all of the nooks and crannies. This was my favorite of the 3 donuts and if I came back I'd probably get this one, but I couldn't tell if it was actually moist or just oily...
Boston Cream
Yeast donut filled with vanilla pudding and topped with chocolate icing. Very standard. Lots of pudding. Wouldn't get it again.
Honey Dip
Glazed yeast donut. Kind of light and fluffy but felt heavy/oily because it was so weighed down by glaze, which was really sugary.
Chocolate Croissant
Croissant filled with melty chocolate chips. The level of chocolate was great--tons of chips inside. However, the croissant itself was very bready and kind of stale tasting.
