While You Are Out by Katie Brundridge

While we were out my husband and I stopped by an interesting gem in Montgomery, a place called Eggsquisite Café located in Boulder Hill. This is the place of the former Select that was a staple in the Oswego Community for over 50 years. Having closed its doors, the new owners picked up the mantle and ran with it to begin a new tradition well honoring the past. My Husband and I stopped in to check out and see how the food was. As you walk in the décor has been updated and has a soft and inviting entrance. You are greeted by a friendly member of the staff who greets with a warm smile and offers the specials of the day and seats you. The interesting thing is that they ask you where you wished to be seated offering a choice for your comfort. This is a throwback to the old selection and how the staff used to greet. The waitress comes over immediately and asks if you would like a beverage. The Bus boy is quick to fill water and offer bread. These are just small things in customer service that make a difference and offer the investment that we care about you. This sets the tone and atmosphere of how the experience will go. The Waitress gave us enough time to select our choices for our breakfast. I ordered Ham and Cheese, and my husband ordered the meat lovers platter.
As we waited for our meal, we looked around the place and noticed our fellow breakfast goers engaging in conversation and at one of the tables there were six senior parts of the local senior breakfast club. They were talking about current events and sharing historical events of the past. Sharing the content with the young waitress who appreciated the lesson and engaged respectfully to the seniors.
The Breakfast that we had was amazing and the servings are large, so it is two servings, so we had our lunch. The waitress came back and asked if we needed anything and the service was amazing. The waitress came back and gave us our check and there was no pressure to pay and leave.
The experience was one that really throws back to old school approach with the tradition of thinking of the customers’ needs and building an atmosphere that makes the customer feel like you are having breakfast in your own kitchen welcome home.
