My wife suggested that we try The Edison Automat for breakfast. The cafe is opened for breakfast and lunch only. The menu has a good selection of specially created menu aimed for a healthier choice. You find chicken sausage, quinoa, fresh fruits, etc. We entered at opening at 8 am we few patrons but, saw many coming in for coffee which, I must say was very good since I am a coffee lover. We ordered their pancakes and classic pork roll, egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. Although, not as crispy as I prefer it was very good. The pancakes seemed small they are very filling. My wife couldn't finish them. Coffee sizes come in small, medium and large and they offer free refills. They have adequate staff with three waitresses, two counter personnel and kitchen staff. They have indoor seating with outside seating as well. Plenty, plenty of parking.

Pretty cool breakfast and lunch place. Running by under 30's? Excellent customer service. Healthy variety of dishes and good chocolate. Refreshing to see some salad on the plate next to my omelette. Recommended!

Cute little place, would try it again. Went in the winter and and the outdoor seeating area looks nice. Small and not much indoor seating. Quinoa bowl was very good and Mediterranean omelet too. Seems like it's fresh food. Offered gluten-free toast and non dairy milk. A few reasons why it's not 5 stars;-it would be nice if they had more gluten-free dairy free options.-our waiter wasn't very attentive. He was on his phone more than taking care of us. Informed him when ordering that we had a gluten and dairy allergy and asked for vegan cheese and got buttered bread with the meal. Mistakes happen but we finished with the meal before fresh bread came.-not a fan when a business uses disposable cups for eat in service. Not environmentally friendly.

I have to say their food is really good. What they seem to lack is control of their food safety measures. We ordered an apple juice for our toddler, and as she was drinking the juice out of the bottle I see the expiration date that's showing the juice is over 3 months expired (we dined in there in February 2022, the juice has expired in October 2021). When we notified the staff all they said is "Oh wow, we'll bring you another juice". Amazing way to apologize for a toddler drinking a couple ounces of a juice expired by months.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We needed a Gluten Free meal & we were so happy to know they knew how to accommodate meals for Celiac disease . Everyone we dealt with today was fantastic ! The food was amazing & safe for our son to eat . We will be back definitely ! Thank you so much !

Service was good and our breakfast was tasty we recommend

Great brunch spot! I had the Tequila Sunrise (sandwich) which was huge and had the fluffiest eggs in it. I also tried their Bees Knees latte which was very interesting. It wasn’t bad, just a bit too milky for my liking. The service was fast and friendly, I would love to come back to try more of their unique menu!

The Tequila Sunrise Sandwich was delish. Then we had the Homemade Strawberry Cake and that was to die for. However, as good as the food was, the service at the Automat is the absolute best. Abigail and Brianna were amazing. ❤❤

We tried the Automat for the first time today!It was a little chilly but we sat outside. They do have overhead heaters so it wasn’t too chilly. One thing I do have to highlight from our visit is the service!! Especially during COVID the service here was exceptional.Our food and drinks were brought out quickly and our waitress checked on us multiple times. When my pancakes came out I asked for a side of butter and she returned with it before I even cut into them.Along with the service the food was delicious as well. The cloud cakes are a must. So fluffy and delicious!! My mom had an omelette and that was fluffy and moist as well.We will definitely return!!

Great service and love the new outdoor dining area. They have gluten free bread and dairy free options for drinks.
