Breakfast at State Street Cafe was an absolute terrific choice! I had been here once before about 10 years ago and the quality of the food was just as good as I remembered. It's located right off state street and parking was easy and convenient. The place is on the smaller side so get there early or be prepared for a wait. But I promise it'll be worth the wait! The cafe offers a traditional and special's menu with a large variety of options. The specials menu did not list prices, but when the bill came it reflected reasonable costs for breakfast entrees. I ordered the breakfast tacos which included 3 flour tortillas each loaded with egg, cheese, steak, pico de gallo, and avocado served with salsa and a side of home fries. The food was delicious, and portions were generous. I ended up having leftovers to enjoy the next morning. I would highly recommend stopping in for some breakfast and look forward to returning!

Food is excellent wen it's busy it's busy can be pricey but the food is worth it especially the shrimp and grits everything I tried it so far is 100% worth it I would not lie to you

When best friend, Hopalong Casualty, and I get together, it's usually memorable. Such was the case on this day. He Amtraked up from NYC; I drove down from Windsor Locks. We arrived at SSC during breakfast, and luckily snagged the last open table. Michelle greeted us and kept us well caffeinated. Eclectic menu. Hopalong opted for a short stack of banana nut pancakes (w/o nuts, haha). I had the Mighty Green omelet with a side of grits. My omelet contained spinach, avocado, asparagus and broccoli, and was perfectly prepared. For me, the star of the show was (were?) the grits. Smoothest I ever inhaled. Hopalong raved about his pancakes as well as the accoutrements of the men's room where a visit (or three) is mandatory. Michelle checked on us numerous times. Everything about SSC was excellent. When we left, the waiting area was full. 5 yummy stars

We had an excellent breakfast here on a Friday morning during Christmas week. No wait at 9am was amazing, and a good parking spot was also found (parking can get tight at this little eatery) I had a raspberry passion iced tea that was excellent. I also had a pancake special of carrot cake sweet potato pancakes they were phenomenal! The hubs had cinnamon roll pancakes which he loved, and we both opted to up charge and get real maple syrup. We shared a side of hash browns well done and they were a bit heavy on onions for me but had a great rosemary seasoning in them. We will visit again soon.

Really good breakfast food. At first, our server was a little standoffish, but seemed to warm up eventually. Despite the long line, we only waited about 10 mins to get in. Great neighborhood spot.

Michelle was absolutely amazing. My new favorite waitress here. Her smile was infectious and her spirit joyful. Our food was outstanding. The Jersey Dogs is my summer favorite. Never thought the combo of the potato's and peppers on a hot dog would be so delicious

"Goin' up State Street, comin' down Main Lookin' for the woman that uses cocaine" (The Byrds) Looks can be deceiving. It doesn't appear that a lot of State Street's assets and resources were dedicated to the dining room interior, which is basic and looks much older than its true age of just 20 years. You'll see counter stools by the coffee station, a few tables up front and in the back, and lots and lots of booths and benches throughout. When my brother and I arrived yesterday, a small table for two was the very last available table for our 10:30 brunch. And that table gave us a clear view into the kitchen, where State Street seems to allocate their assets because we saw five cooks working like demon machines cranking out plate after plate of classic diner comfort food for that jam packed diner. They're open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week, and although their two-sided menu has a lunch side and a breakfast side, our friendly server Michelle told us you can order anything at any time! The menu is a true work of art, with as many breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, Benedicts, omelets, French toast, waffle, pancake, salads, hot and cold sandwiches, melts, wraps, and burgers as you'll ever see. There're some cool items here -ever seen a pastrami egg and cheese sandwich? How about M&M Pancakes? The omelet section is pretty creative -with Loaded Potato (Potato, Bacon, Scallions, & Sour Cream), Spinach, Avocado, Broccoli and Asparagus, and "Big Mac" Options. Our meal was an order of chocolate chip pancakes ($10.59) and a Chef Salad ($14.99). Coffee was $1.99. My brother's pancakes were two enormous thick pancakes with plenty of chocolate chips and a layer of optional sprinkled sugar. He made a valiant try at finishing it but got around 2/3 done before he threw in his fork. My Chef Salad was incredible! A gigantic bowl with Oven Roasted Turkey, Ham, American Cheese, Swiss Cheese & Sliced Hard-Boiled Egg over Mixed Greens, Tomato & Cucumber slices. I couldn't even eat half of it, took the rest home so my wife and I could split the leftovers for dinner. Three servings for $14.99! We loved our experience at the State Street Diner. PRO TIP When we left the diner at 11:30, the dining room was still packed and there were ten customers waiting in the lobby for their table. So, you should likely be prepared to wait for your seats.
