What people say, in short
Empire Cafe receives repeated breakfast recommendations. One diner particularly likes the Italian toast and eggs Benedict with creamed spinach, while another reports reliably good food and coffee with easy parking. A commenter suggests it as a better chance of avoiding crowds, and several name it for counter-service meals. Those are individual experiences rather than guaranteed parking or quiet.
