The Ettlin's Cafe

For some reason, finding a good diner is harder than it needs to be. Stumbled into Ettlins today and it definitely qualifies as a find, but in all the right ways. The staff hustled, the food made from scratch (which the staff and a sign took care to advise meant meals took a little more time to make, which was a fair heads up), the meals were excellent, the coffee likewise excellent (try the Honeybee coffee, which is saying something because I normally just like my coffee black), etc. One of our party has to be gluten free, and Ettlins completely took care of it with an omlet that was very, very good.. We will definitely be back as they've earned the business.

I am so happy to have a restaurant like Ettlin's so close to home. The kids adore the huge fluffy chocolate chip pancakes and the waffles they sometimes have as specials. I love their angry rooster spicy omelette. I was pleasantly surprised by the different options they have for cold brew and hot coffees. I recently brought my celiac husband here and even though it was busy the host understood and ran through options to accomodate. The communication was fantastic, we didn't even have to tell the waitress - she already knew and had gluten free suggestions in her back pocket to help my husband navigate the menu. This level of care and attention to detail means a lot for someone living with celiacs. He had steak and eggs with fresh fruit and said the steak was awesome - he loved the sauce especially, just wished he had some gluten free bread/English muffins/hash browns to clean the plate. They are always bustling in the morning and they demonstrate exceptional ownership and care. We really love Ettlin's!
