Coming into the Baylor "must-eats" scene, Cafe Capp was recommended to me. I was impressed with the expansive size of these golden cakes but the flavor was not anything extraordinary. The wait is usually pretty long. With this being said, the interior isn't accommodating for the large audience they seem to attract. The service is quicker if you order via phone and pick it up. The pancakes are subpar, but the waitstaff is great and the coffee selection is superb.
I only rate this as "fair" because their food IS delicious, however the service is reliably terrible.
Every single time I have been to this Cafe Cap, crowded or empty, I have the worst experience with service. And each time I go, tops the last.
I would rather go to iHop or the Egg and I and have good service (both chain restaurants), than go to Cafe Cap - the only reason I have gone more than once is because I was with a group that insisted. Each time, we all vow never to return.
If you don't mind rude, negligent servers and REALLY love flavored coffees and breakfast food - then this is your spot.
Since they serve breakfast all day, my first choice is the spinach omelet. It comes with a side order of bread (pancake, toast, etc.), which I usually save in a to-go box for the bottomless pits with whom I live. Also, I like their coffee, and they do have Splenda available, but you have to ask for it.
Option B, for me, is the spinach & bacon salad, sans croutons. Unfortunately, I can't find a nutritional breakdown on the salad dressings, but I do like the creamy vinaigrette.
Apple wheat....that's all I want when I go to Cafe' Cap!! The rest of it is just stuff and yes, sometimes the service is less than desirable, but if you got up that early on a weekend to work, I don't think you would be little miss sunshine either!! Never had a bad meal there, despite the occasional bad service.
You can get friendlier service at Dick's where they are paid to be rude. Food is mediocre at best. I went about 3 times, in hopes there would be an improvement, but it only got worse. I was through when they brought be burnt stale biscuits for my biscuits and gravy and would not even apologize, but acted like it was no big deal. The fact that a minimum of 3 people had to see my food before they served it and did not correct it makes you wonder what really goes on in the kitchen.
Let's be honest for a second, Internet--I'm the kind of person that thinks it's perfectly acceptable to eat cake and cookies for breakfast (go ahead, judge me). Therefore, Cafe Capp & I are probably going to be best friends for life. Normally, I order hashbrowns (slightly greasy, but still in the "A" range), scrambled eggs (maybe kind of rubbery, but, heck, I'll eat 'em), and a chocolate. chip. pancake. Not only is the pancake bigger than my face, but it also comes with some pretty righteous syrup.
The best part about Cafe Capp is there are endless, yes, ENDLESS combinations of pancakes that you can order. Apple wheat? Yes. Ginger bread? Check. Wanna go crazy and add chocolate chips to either of those? Consider it done. BE THIS HEAVEN??
I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I can't vouch for the actual namesake, but, I hear they are pretty decent.
Huge pancakes as big as your head with lots of variety. Delicious omelets, and great coffee. I don't like lunch here as much, which is why I didn't give it an Excellent.
