Such a quintessential, social dining experience. I love everything they represent and the food is quite tasty as well!

Ultra modern styled cafe right in the Chatham neighborhood, which serve as a community gathering place, with good food, gracious staff, empowering programs, and activities to engage the neighbors within the neighborhood; this definitely makes it more than a café. This was my first time visiting Mather's definitely will not be my last. Upon entering I was greeted with a huge warm welcome that made me feel special. Once the Hostess was informed that this was my very first visit she personally took the time to give me information about activities and programs, while other staff members greeted regulars as if they were family members. Some may not like the fact that its open seating, and you go to the counter to order your food and pay before being served, it didn't bother me. Another thing that may give pause is the fact that plastic ware is given instead of silverware and our coffee was served in "to go" cups instead of coffee mugs or cups(we were told, the cups were being washed when our coffee was ordered), all of which again didn't bother me; but seem to bother my friend a bit. Breakfast is served all day, with a variety of breakfast dishes to choose from. Since I came for the breakfast, I didn't concentrate much on the lunch menu, will do next time. I had the Hobo Skillet, which comes without meat( sausage, ham, bacon, etc), so you will have to order your choice of meats to be included with the eggs and vegetable in the skillet.; it also served with two slices of buttered toast. Yum! The breakfast menu selection is nice with daily specials available all reasonably priced so not to break you. While waiting for my food, nice nostalgic R&B played in the background taking me back to the good ol' days.... When the food was brought to the table, it looked delicious and the portion size worth the money. All condiments are found at a condiment station, where you will find the sugar and cream for your coffee and water if wanted. My overall experience was a great one, I truly enjoyed the whole laid back vibe of this place. Seeing the community coming in supporting this place, being friendly, enjoying a meal together under the same roof was such a positive sight. After reading the brochure I was given on the different programs and activities available I know I will be back and very eager to participate. Try this café, I think you will like it.
