APPLE BUTTER CAFE – Restaurant

A small breakfast-and-lunch room on Park Boulevard that opens at seven and is finished by mid-afternoon. Apple Butter Cafe cooks from a family table outward: three-egg omelets like the Santa Fe with peppers, sausage, salsa and sour cream; pancakes, French toast and crepes; the Sunrise Cuban; shrimp and grits. Egg plates come with a choice of homefries, grits, fruit, cottage cheese or sliced tomatoes, plus toast. Weekends run an hour longer, closing at three. What people mention again and again is the size of the plates, the quick and friendly service, and the quaint decor. Come hungry, and come early.
