Willalby's Cafe

Willaby's is worth the sometimes brutal wait to get one of their 6 tables or coveted bar seats. The Fair Oaks skillet is to-die-for though. This is my favorite breakfast joint in all the world. The indoors is kitschy, they only take cash, the bathrooms are downstairs and scary as hell, but their hashbrowns are always on point.

Willalby's is a neighborhood staple with friendly staff, humble-but-quirky decor, and a very solid breakfast offering. They have classic diner fare, but with a home-cooked, rather than a greasy-spoon taste. The omelets are a treat. The pancakes are also very tasty, but enormous. Try getting one for the table to share.

Authentic is the best word for Willalby's, and wonderful is right there beside it. It is straight up Willy Street - nothing to dilute it! Combination of booths and counter service - with a smile : )Cash only, so plan ahead, but there's an ATM if you need it. We love to order the veggie omelette and the French toast and then share - oh so delicious instant brunch. Ask for extra butter : )
