Klemm's Kafe

Talk about cozy! I had a late breakfast here on a snowy December Saturday. It's the kind of place where you are inches away from the next table and everyone can watch the grill. I loved the experience, even if my pancakes tasted like green pepper. Not a good place if you are fussy. Everything is well worn and coated with a greasy sheen. But it's a lovely place to share a simple, inexpensive meal with your neighbors.

Big diner-style breakfasts, delicious and inexpensive.
Huge omelets, the best American fries/hashbrowns around, and service is fast, efficient, and friendly. The perfect Saturday morning stop before visiting Hyde's Bookstore across the street.
The food is cooked to order, always arrives hot and fresh... makes you wonder if the cook is psychic the way the food arrives so quickly.
Nice neighborhood place. Always have a smile for you, and maybe a tip on what's to do in the big city that day.
The sandwiches/fries look delicious, but I can't stop myself from ordering that Western Omelet. The incredibly popular "Garbage Plate" is topped with a big ladle of home-style gravy. The bacon is crisp, sausage is excellent, and the customers include a high percentage of locals who are friendly, too.

I do love this place.  It's small, old, and SUPER comfortable.

Having only been here for breakfast this is what I can tell you:

Their is typically one cook and two waitresses in the whole place.  You can sit at the counter or a table/booth.  The food is prepared in front of you diner style in a flash.   The food is DELICIOUS & cheap!

I suggest the garbage plate for breakfast.  A wonderful combination of skillet / biscuits and gravy.  - - - - I'm getting hungry again!
