What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Stamps Cafe is praised for its excellent food, particularly signature dishes like the Stamps Pie, and its intimate, cozy atmosphere. Reviewers often highlight the friendly and attentive service. Some diners noted that while the food is good, prices can be a bit steep, and there was a mention of a potentially brusque senior waitress.
"I got the chicken chipotle sandwich(so good) and finished it off with a turtle cheesecake (also amazing) our service was impeccable by Avery! She’s very kind and accommodated all my needs. Very great experience here and I will be coming back a lot! 10/10"
Francesca Koszegi
"Had two breakfasts here, as the Best Western did not provide complementary breakfast. The service was good, the food was fine. The coffee was not very good."
Patrick Xu
"Decent enough breakfast, but the only choices for meats are sausage, ham, chorizo or bacon. In other words, pork, pork, pork or pork!
That is probably fine for a lot of people, but would it be so hard to have turkey and/or veggie sausages as an option?
I ended up with a veggie omelette and hashbrowns, both very good."
