New London Café

I understand that places get busy, and that getting customers their meals means making money a business needs to survive. What I don't get is undercutting (hopefully) a high standard of product when busy in order to move people through. There was a wait as could be expected on a gorgeous day, and yet the service, while good, was very brisk. If you can't afford to hire enough servers for a busy weekend perhaps don't offer so many seats. This was fine, as I know how it feels to be overwhelmed with customers. And yet to be out of milk and creamer, yet not provide any disclaimer and still run as a full service brunch spot felt disingenuous and honestly a bit rude. Anyway, I ordered eggs Benedict with moderate expectations. The hollandaise was solid but the english muffins were damp and soggy and thoroughly unpleasant. The breakfast potatoes were not entirely cooked, which made the American cheese (a boon in most situations) stand out that much more. Please take your time to make the food good, and learn how to say no or wait so that you can provide your best. I know you can do it buddy, you're so close!

Do yourself a favor and come here for the croissant breakfast sandwich. It was incredible and had pesto and so many goodies on it and came with probably the best breakfast potatoes I’ve ever had. They had melted cheese and onion on them and they were incredible. It’s a cute little place in Duluth and we sat at the bar area so we didn’t have a wait on a Sunday morning. Great service and street parking out front. Will be dreaming of the croissant breakfast sandwich and crispy potatoes.

The food's pretty good. We ordered the French toast fitters & veggie omelette. The omelette taste really healthy, and the potatoes & mushroom taste especially good. The egg is okay, rather lukewarm. The French toast supposed to come with eggs any style, but apparently you can't get it in omelette form or it will cost you extra. I'm hoping there will be more options like turkey bacon or turkey links, or maybe even smoked salmon for the non pork eater.

I have loved New London Cafe for a long time, and the food recently has been sub par. For the price I pay to get a tasty, consistent breakfast, this is not it. The past few times I've gotten the eggs benny (dine in or takeout) has been completely split bernaise on my eggs benny & overcooked eggs. P.S. removing the croissant from the menu was not a smart move, the ciabatta bun was not good compared to the croissant. It's just a shame because I used to love this place and would go out of my way to bring friends/family for yummy breakfast.

Yum! Good prices and portions. Love the platters with tasty pancakes or the fritter french toast. Food was fresh and my whole family commented on it. Homemade jam was the right amount of sweet. Cute atmosphere. Friendly staff. Only drawback is street parking and it’s such a small restaurant that there could be a wait when it’s busy although we got right in.

I've loved New London Cafe since they opened. I always come here whenever I'm back in town visiting family. Since being taken over by new ownership, they kept my favorites & I was pleasantly surprised to see they've added on some new menu items which I was excited to try. I have to say though, I was unfortunately not impressed with the hot honey chicken and waffles. The pieces of chicken were very small and I love crispy chicken but they were more crisp, not much chicken. The flavor of the waffle could have been better as well. The best way to describe it was like a marshmallow without the sweet. HOWEVER, my visit was NOT a disappointment. I ordered one slice of the Cinnamon fritter French toast (which has always been a favorite) and the sausage which is the best around! My friend got the breakfast burrito and it was fire! They've also revamped the seating with heavy wooden tables and chairs which modernizes the cafe a little and warms it up a bit. I like the changes and maybe I'll try something else when I come back next time but I will ALWAYS get at least one slice of the cinnamon fritter french toast and the sausage.

We were in Duluth and a friend met us here for breakfast. This a cute little restaurant nestled off the beaten path. We walked in and were greeted immediately. We waited for a short time for a table. Our server was Alyvia. She took our order and we asked specifically for no green onions. We shared the Hot honey chicken and waffles this is Belgian waffles and seasoned crispy fried chicken drizzled with a chili pepper infused honey. It was good. It definitely needed more hot honey. This came covered in green onions which we ended up picking off. The waffle was delicious with a slight vanilla taste. Chicken was good well with a nice crunch. Overall it lacked that hot honey flavor. The side was their New London potatoes. They were good lacked a little seasoning. We also shared the Eggs Benedict this is two eggs any style served on a toasted English muffin and slices of bacon then covered with a rich hollandaise sauce. The bacon was AMAZING! this is a good version of your standard eggs Benedict. The side was hash browns which were cooked perfectly with a great crunch. Just lacked seasoning. Our friend had the breakfast burrito. This is two scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar, applewood bacon, potatoes, pinto beans, avocado, and salsa on the side. Large burrito with good flavor. Overall a good little restaurant. There are some things on the lunch menu will come back to try. We did have to go find our own silverware, but our server said she was new and we were okay with the hiccups. She was fun with a great personality.

my husband and I ordered breakfast to go and are actually planning on going back tomorrow lol. we had pancakes, bacon, French toast, hash browns, potatoes, and 2 hot chocolates. Best hot chocolate ever! friendly folks & good vibes.
