I have been to homemade cafe a number of times because I love the omelettes hoping that the service will get better every time I go... but it doesn't. The servers look panicked, and they are really bitchy anytime you ask them for something. It's like they hate their jobs and wish you'd go away. One time I was there I was waiting at the counter to pay and I heard a crash behind me I turned around to see what happened and one of the servers had dropped a bottle of ketchup on the floor, then from behind me I hear this very loud "HELLO!", "HELLLLLLO!". I turned around and one of the servers had finally arrived to take my money and was standing there all mad because I wasn't paying attention to her because of the crash. I decided enough is enough and I was going to just do phone orders to pick up from them so I don't have to deal with the servers, but unfortunately I called today (a Sunday) and I was told by a very rude women that they don't do food orders on the weekends because they don't have time to talk to me!! Go for the food but do not expect good service.

Homemade Cafe's service is appalling--the worst I've ever experienced, anywhere. I arrived, intending to wait for my two friends. I was told by the waitress to pick any table I wanted. It was 7:30 a.m. and the place was not busy. I sat down at a booth and she asked me if I wanted something to drink. I ordered hot tea. After 10 minutes, it never came. I noticed that other people who came in after me were being served. I walked to the counter and asked for my tea. I was told "Get it yourself--there's a beverage station." Fine--nobody told me about this previously, but fine. There was hot water but no tea bags. Excuse me, I said, but there are no tea bags at the beverage station. "We bring them out to you." It never arrived. Again, I walked up to the counter and asked for a tea bag, this time from the manager. "We bring it out to you. And by the way, you shouldn't be sitting down until everyone in your party has arrived." Then why, I asked, did your waitress tell me to pick any table I wanted and to sit down? And why is it taking so long to get a tea bag? "She's our best waitress," said the manager. Need I go on??? Too bad about this. I'd heard the French toast was good but with such lousy service, who would ever get the chance to find out? Don't go there.
Pros: free street parking
Cons: no service, rude waitresses
