We got to Tower Cafe around 2 pm and there was a line of people outside the door. We couldn't find parking in their lot after the first couple rounds but finally found one. Once I got to the hostess I was greeted by a very friendly young lady. She told me our wait would be about 30-40 minutes. I have to add that at Tower Cafe you can choose to dine inside or outside. I told them we would take the first available spot.
Since we had quite a wait, we went across the street to peruse around Dimple records for some used CDs. I scored a Jurassic 5 CD and Boys II Men CD for $2.99 each. Not bad! We decided to go back and once we did, our little gadget started to vibrate. YES! Finally :)
We ordered the New Mexico Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes, the Madame Cristo and 2 coffees. Ok let us start with the coffee....so good! This coffee is not your typical diner coffee AND we get our own little container of real cream. Then our food finally arrived and let me tell you, it was so worth the wait.
My Madame Cristo is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I have never seen this dish anywhere. It is absolutely genius. I mean whoever invented it should have a statue or something cause it is THAT good. My BF's cornmeal pancakes were the best cornmeal pancakes we've ever had.
Overall, we had a wonderful Sunday brunch at Tower Cafe. Good service, ambiance and delicious food! One a side note, if you are coming on a weekend, do not come starving, because there will be a wait. Details on what we ate, picture of my food and a link to the Tower Cafe website is below. Enjoy!
