Create Your Own Omelet - The Eating Room
1. Carolyn's Cafe
Carolyn's Cafe is a cozy breakfast and lunch cafe known very notoriously for its fresh-baked coffee cake (served with a colossal scoop of whipped butter). Are you drooling yet? Well, save some room for their delicious, served all day, breakfast! And, be sure to ask about their pancake of the month.

2. The Eating Room
Is anyone really shocked that The Eating Room is so high on our list? This local favorite also serves up breakfast all day, but with a Southern twist! Their bold flavors and generous portions are what keep their patrons coming back. We highly recommend swinging by the bakery while you are there. The Swedish Oatmeal cookies, lemon bars, and fresh fruit tarts are a couple of our favorites.

McDuff's is located in the heart of downtown Redlands and the quintessential small-town diner. You will walk in and feel instantly transported back to a much simpler time.

Be sure to add coffee and hash browns!
