LIZ CAFE

Liz Cafe is your classic local spot, but it could do with a little pep in its step. Breakfasts like the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs are solid, but somehow the vibe falls flat when you're dodging a rude table hog with a laptop. Gerta, the welcoming charm of the staff, makes up for a lot, but let's not kid ourselves—some diners have been left feeling like they'd rather eat their breakfast at home. Still, if you want an acceptable brekkie in a cozy café, this might just fit the bill—if you can avoid the odd drama.

The menu features decent options, and while most meals hit the mark, a couple of guests have invited drama into the mix with sad egg benedicts and lukewarm service. Still, the atmosphere is fine for a casual morning bite if you don't mind a few bumps along the way. Just remember, you're here for the food, not the theatrics.
