Editorial Review for M's Cafe – by Chelsea Sime

At first glance, this rather drab space with large round family-style tables and red paper Chinese decorations looks like it would more likely serve up giant plates of steamed fish or bok choy in oyster sauce than Cold War-era American standbys like cheesy omelettes and tuna melts. The condiments on the table--sri racha, ketchup, hot sauce and syrup--do little to ease confusion. But one look at the menu proves that even though this place may have a little Asian influence, the menu is pure Americana: breakfast combos with everything under the sun, burgers and daily specials are served in huge portions and for ridiculously low prices (one special includes eggs, bacon or sausage, toast or pancakes for only $3.50 before 10am).

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Night owls rejoice: You can get breakfast all day, perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings (or mid-afternoons).

Parking

The N-Judah line runs right past the front door, so skip the parking hassle and hop the train.

Look Good

Hit a nearby ATM (Bank of America and Wells Fargo both have outposts within a block) since this restaurant is cash-only.

good breakfast like everyone else said but check out their daily specials...one time i got the grilled sole w/ steamed vegetables and rice for $4.50! the owners work there and are the nicest people. i recommend this place over its across-the-street counterpart Howard's Cafe (which, also good, but more expensive and very greasy)

Pros: good, cheap food

The food is pretty much what we could cook at home, with giant portions. At other places you might get a side of toast for $2.50 - at M's you get toast, eggs, country potatoes, ham/bacon/sausage, coffee, AND a little pitcher of milk for your coffee. They are fast, polite, and business-like. Even though they have lots of mix and match menu options, they're not big on substitutions like cottage cheese for potatoes, so if you're a South Beach or Atkins person, stay away because pretty much every breakfast comes with potatoes and toast. The lunches are hearty too, same no-frills kind of American food. They're not open for dinner.

Pros: cheap

Cons: no substitutions
