COFFEE AND FRIENDS – American
A family breakfast counter on Placida Road with a drive-thru window, run by the Pfister family since 2016. Mornings only, and the kitchen works to order: eggs Benedict with grilled asparagus, a farmer scramble of bacon, tomato, green pepper and cheddar, Greek, Spanish and Western omelets, steak and eggs, Texas French toast, biscuits and gravy. A Swiss streak runs through it too, in the Birchermuesli power starter that is served with Swiss bread. Sandwiches bring a turkey avocado melt and a BLT. House-blend coffee and espresso alongside. Regulars mention the freshness and the welcome. Closed Mondays; doors open at seven.
