What customers say about us

Geoff W

Delicious food and really great service. The menu is very similar to the Ball Sq Cafe, but just as good. Omelets are yummy! Good coffee and OJ!!

Betty Lee

The waitress was right on point and very polite. I do not know if the person who runs Sound bites or owns it, came to our table and was very nice as well. Food was ready and delicious. I ordered coffee, Asparagus and Swiss Omelette with I think it was prosciutto ham? Correct me if I am wrong? And my hubby had the Omelette meat lovers and also the orange juice was amazing! Great place to have breakfast. Their menu has many more options. Can’t wait to go back.

If you are a pancake lover, then you must try their pancakes here. They were so fluffy, light, and flavorful. We ordered the apple cinnamon pancake and was surprised to find the apples inside the pancake, but it was yummy regardless. Of course, we had to order a savory dish to complement our sweet one so we got the Tuscan omelet, which was served with their home fries. I really liked the portabello mushrooms. Make sure to come here early before it gets crowded around 10:15 AM on the weekends. The server was nice and checked on us several times. We didn't order drinks this time but I know you serve your own coffee/tea. I'm so glad this brunch restaurant is in my neighborhood!

This was a pleasant surprise! Certainly a diner, not a cafe. But it’s a great classic local diner. Floors need a coat of paint, but the food is really solid. Everything in my sandwich tasted really fresh, fries were warm and fluffy with a perfect little crunch. The iced latte was good too! Their bar isn’t operational, but they’re open from 7am-2:30pm, so you really don’t need a full bar, I never found myself wishing the bar was open. Staff was also kind and friendly. So if you want high-quality, no-frills diner food at a great price point, this is a great place to go. I could see myself coming here with friends for a hearty hangover meal on Sunday mornings

5 star as I want to be generous! The omelette was OK but could have been better for $20.99 (goat cheese added) with loads of meat. The hash brown was something else, they should change the name to mashed potatoes. Waffle was good but probably I forgot to ask the crème over it. $3.75 each for a cup of coffee? Lol Overall 4 star and willing to go back. Thanks
