Editorial Review for Bette's Oceanview Diner – by Jean Gibbons

In Short
Once inside this art-deco coffee shop, with its tall white walls and flashes of chrome and neon, diners will find just what the staff T-shirts assert--friendly service and good food. Pancakes, Bette's claim to fame, are pleasantly fluffy and lightly sweet. Buttery omelettes are served with thick, yummy fried potatoes and a tall, crumbly muffin. Lunch dishes include a selection of tasty, traditional sandwiches, such as roast beef and chicken salad.

I have to say Bette's makes the best pancakes in town. I had the banana sour cream pancake and it was screaming good. I went there with my 9 months old little boy and he was ready to stick his hands in the plate. Overall, the wait was a little long. But the pancake really made my day. :)

Pros: pancakes, pancakes, pancakes

Cons: long wait

Bette's has fantastic Breakfasts. The Lox and Eggs are fantastic. The portions are a little small and the prices are a little high, but the quality makes up for the negatives. The long lines exist because so many people agree that the food is wonderful. I dislike going to the snooty, corporate 4th Street area, but I'll venture there any morning for Bette's breakfast.

Pros: Food quality, funky "old time" diner appearance

Cons: Corporate area, difficult parking, slightly high prices, waits
