Satsuma Cafe

Satsuma Cafe Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: This bustling Bywater neighborhood restaurant offers a menu that leans toward organic and healthful options, although there’s something for everyone.

Food & Drinks: Well under $15 gets you a hearty breakfast of anything from a “green eggs and ham sandwich” to a tofu and black bean scramble. Lunchtime is crowded and fast-moving --- you might encounter a roasted pear and Brie melt on sourdough, and a BLT that adds goat cheese and avocado. This is also a good place for juices; try the ABC with apple, carrot and beet with lemon. Dessert is house-made cakes, such as red velvet. The restaurant is packed on Sundays during breakfast and brunch hours, with sidewalk tables added to handle the crowds. Be prepared for a “nothing fancy” ambience comprised of a mish mash of tables and chairs, leftover newspapers and alternative publications strewn about, and regulars who often spend hours drinking coffee at their tables.
