If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, the Lamb Burger with Fries and Salad delivers robust, savory notes with a side of crisp, fresh greens. Likewise, the Beyond Burger with Salad and Fries used to be a favorite for plant-based diners; though recently removed, the Avocado Toast remains a satisfying, naturally vegan choice.

The menu extends beyond breakfast and lunch with standout dinner options served Thursday through Saturday evenings, including the succulent Durock Pork Chop and the classic, well-crafted Beef Burger. Fans of seafood won’t want to miss the Battered Alaskan Cod, boasting a crispy coating paired with tender, flaky fish inside.

Dessert is an art form at Town Bakery & Cafe. The Creme Brulee melts in your mouth with the perfect balance of creamy custard and caramelized sugar, while the Basque Cheesecake offers a rich, intensely creamy bite with a beautifully burnt exterior that contrasts the sweet, smooth middle.

Families are warmly welcomed here, with a thoughtfully curated kids’ menu featuring favorites like Kid’s French Toast, Kids Pancakes, and Kids Chicken Tenders—each dish thoughtfully prepared to please younger palates without compromising quality.
