Summary: A child friendly place for breakfast with local food & plenty of organic & vegetarian options.
What's not to love about the Old Town Cafe? It's like a local Denny's, but with all the comforts of the hipster dufus world. To translate: A plethora of breakfast options with all the little details like organic eggs, local produce, buckwheat in your pancakes & tofu scrambles that launch the hippy sophistacates into heaven. Not sure if that made it clearer or not. For us parents, the kids play area is a huge draw. You can see it from most of the tables, so when your little demon child starts screaming in the middle of the meal, you just send him off to play & savor your coffee in silence. Why on earth don't more restaurants have this? This place gets quite busy on weekend mornings, but they turn tables quickly and also have wonderful "community tables" where the put 3-4 couples/small groups on one big table. Conversing with your neighbors is optional. The french toast I had here is the best I ever remember having. Everyone else we've eaten here with seems to have enjoyed their food as well.

I love Old Town! Its one of my favorite B'ham breakfast/lunch places. The only downside I have found is that everytime I have visited, I have had to wait a really, really long time for a table. But its always been worth the wait :)
I love Old Town! Yes, there usually is a wait in the morning, but that should say something about the restaurant, that people flock there in droves in the morning because they have the best breakfast in town! They usually get you seated quickly, one time, there were 6 parties ahead of us, and they had us seated within 20 minutes.
My one and only complaint is that they do not stay open late enough on Sunday...the first time I ate there was on a Sunday, I probably got there around 1:45, and wasn't seated until a little after 2. I didn't know they closed at two, but regardless, the service was still with a smile, and the food was good enough to make me go back, it tasted a little rushed, but that was understandable.
