I have eaten here dozens of times, and whenever I have out of town guests I take them here for a "special" breakfest..
The breakfasts are excellent.
I recommend Waffles mounded with fruits, and Omelets made with spicy linguica.
The meal starts with malted cereal and a plate of breads. When they have them, the popovers are the best choice.
The food is too much for one person so I usually split a meal. They charge an extra $3, but even with 2 people I have never finished all the food.
The coffee is not so good. I usually bring a cup from my house. It is usually burned or nasty tasting.
Depending on the time of morning the waits can get long as hung over people amble over to union square in search of something greasy.
