Old Croydon Cafe

A little history about Old Croydon Café. This place used to be the old Bible Brethren church where I had spent many Sundays & Tuesday nights at Sunday school & Bible club, so the food and people who work here must already be blessed. :)
I have never had anything bad here. This was recently on Fox News & had a great review.
This place is my little home town diner literally about 4 houses up the street from my Mom & Dads house. People are nice & service is good. Go check it out.

Back of house really knows what they are doing here. We are talking in house made blue berry source drizzled on your French toast along with whipping cream made quickly and simply on premises. Wonderful garlicky home fries and sausage you’ll actually notice bits of fennel seed in sparingly sprinkled throughout. And of course, eggs however you want them, from omelets to eggs benedict.
Specials clearly change with what ingredients are profitable and seasonal day to day while prices remain reasonable. This place makes no pretext to be the international house of anything.
The business has an idea of itself, its focuses is on the early riser work crowd of the neighborhood and the blue collar lunch rush. The locals are its bread and butter but you’ll likely see as many families as sales guys, landscapers or painters there to get a quick bite and get back to work. The wait staff know the clientele, banter on personal matters with them and have, to my experience, have always been all smiles and quick service.
One of the better reasonably priced breakfast nooks in neck of the woods.

Dated and out of style in a comforting way, no pretensions. Breakfast was well prepared and delicious. The server was completely tuned in to the needs of all her customers, when i complemented her, she just laughed and said she had to be with a 8 year old always tugging at her for something or another.
Less than 5 star because of exterior trash and dirty looking floor inside. But otherwise just the friendly good food diner experience I needed.

this is a great family owned café that does breakfast & lunch for a very reasonable price. This place is a rarity in today’s world and you should venture off the main roads and check out the local haunts and what you find should surprise you, this is a prime example of said

This quaint diner-​esque establishment is the kind of place that gives character to a town. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a friendly good morning and lots of local kids paintings alongs the walls.
While looking over their extensive breakfast & lunch menu you could hear conversations with other tables who all seemed to be regulars here, and made me slightly jealous that I wasn’t a townie too. Thankfully our server treated us with the same pleasant and small town love that she did to everyone else.
Now to the food, it was very difficult making a decision between such great plates like their vibrant french toast, a chilli omlette, chipped beef or countless other things. The hubby decided on a ham club which was really yummy, large and came with delicious crispy fries for only $ 7.
I can’t pass a good country fried steak or trying some good gravy. This is a warning: I hate American Breakfast sausage. Well, this gravy brought sausage chunks, but the server said it was a customer favorite, sooo I tried it and I can say is this is the BEST DARN GRAVY I have EVER had!
Overall, I will be coming here as often as I can!

Got the eggs Benny and they where soooooo good!!! Have been craving it since and I’m a very picky cook myself! Not a fan of much breakfast items but this was one I loved! Deffinetly my go to breakfast spot.

This has become our new favorite breakfast joint. I love that they allow half orders on all items that are highlighted on the menu. So if you’re in the mood for more than one item you are able to get a half order of both. The potato skins are amazing! They stuff it with a scrambled egg, bacon, and drizzle homemade cheese wiz on top. They have daily specials and it always changes. If You’re in the mood for a certain item just ask and more than likely they will make it. They’re just those type of people. The only thing to be aware of is it is cash only.

Are you down with O.C.C? Yeah you know me! The Old Croydon Café is a wonderful little breakfast joint in the heart of Croydon. So far I’ve been to this place twice and I will be back again. They have the best hash browns in the tri state area and I am a hash brown enthusiast. If I had anything negative to say it would be that I didn’t really enjoy their scrapple but the other food made up for it. I had an incredible omelette with bacon, spinach, feta, and mushrooms. I shall return to this place soon.

Love this place. Let me start by saying that I go to places for the food, not the décor. My wife and I have been going here for about 4 months now. I wanted to really try this place out prior to reviewing. I will tell you that I am hesitant on letting the cat out of the bag on this place, but here you go…
The ambience is as basic as you get here but what it lacks in décor it makes up for in the personality of the wait staff and owners. These people invite you in and make you feel so welcome every time you come in.
The food. Oh my god, all I can say is that it’s amazing. I love that the breakfast menu allows for so many half orders. This allows me to try new things every time I come here. The blueberry pancakes short stack is awesome and one of my favorites. The Reuben, French toast, chipped beef (SOS), waffles, made to order omelettes and homemade sausage gravy and biscuits are all fantastic. If you want want a fancy, hipster, I only eat kale shakes, style place then please go eat elsewhere as I don’t want to see you in here anyway. But if you want damn good breakfast then this is the spot.

Was in the mood for some breakfast this morning. So desided to try a new place. That I never tried before, And was impressed with how great the food was and the service was just perfect.
Not one complaint. Definitely a place I would go back to eat at again.

Great breakfast spot. Forget to check-​in a lot, but have been coming here for months now. Recommend the biscuits instead of toast. They are delicious. Fruit cups change up what’s in them but they are big and fresh. My favorite so far is runny eggs over corned beef hash. The scrapple is great, so are the breakfast potatoes.
Today I had the grilled pastrami on rye with Swiss and 1,000 dressing. The only thing missing is some sauerkraut. It would be so much better.
The only breakfast dish I haven’t been thrilled about is the sausage biscuit with gravy. The reason is because it’s a sausage patty on an amazing biscuit. I wish they just put fresh ground sausage in the gravy instead.
Overall it’s a great place, with just a few changes I think it could be amazing and a spot people would travel to.

Listen, I really love to support local watering holes almost as much as I love to support local restaurants and cafes. My wife and have tried tons of «Little Holes in the Wall» and find that 99% of the time the food and service is much better than the bigger places. That is until we went to the «OCC» WHAT A DUMP!
If it wasn’t for the wait staff I don’t know how this place is still in business. The owner whom I believe his name was Dan (I could be mistaken) was talking to his employees like they were 2^nd class citizens. My wife and I heard him talk poorly about two other local business to 2 of his (what I’m guessing to be OCC’s regulars).
The place was fifthly top to bottom! The food tasted like it came right of the Sysco truck dipped in butter and thrown on our plate.
My advice is for this guy to remember who is paying his bills and try to stop bashing others. (It doesn’t make you look good sir!)
I wish them much success but, as for my wife and I NO THANK YOU!

If you are like me, and enjoy a small business success story served with whipped cream and strong coffee, the Old Croydon Café is just about as good as it gets.
I stopped in for the first time this week and took a stool at the counter. From my vantage point I could look into the kitchen service window and see the heads of the cooks making magic out of eggs and pancake mix. The old joint is on the north end of State Road, which I soon discovered could be used as a detour from Rt. 95, all the way to Center City. Good to know!
The place is small, with 7 or 8 stools and an equal number of booths and tables. I sat next to a house painter, lawn mower repair man, and a roofer. The conversation was cordial and full of gallant repartee. The owners worked front and back and kept the dishes coming along with the warm banter. I really liked OCC even before my French Toast Deluxe arrived. This was as downhome as this part of Pennsylvania gets.
When my breakfast arrived I beheld an oval plate framing a still life watercolor. The 3 slices of well grilled and caramelized French Toast, topped with Fresh Whipped Cream and Blueberries, Strawberries, and Bananas, and finished with a lazy drizzle of Blueberry Sauce. (See Photo) The toast was hot, the cream cool, and the fruit cold and juicy. The tastes and textures were fun and delicious. It was one of those meals that I did not want to end.
Old Croydon Café has definitely made my very short list of favorite breakfast nooks. I will return to explore the menu, and even come back for lunch when possible.
This place is a hidden treasure.

Service was good, our server was attentive to the needs of the group through out the meal.
Food was delicious! Loved the sweet ricotta pancakes. The potato skins with egg, bacon and special sauce were awesome too. The cuban sandwich was also a delight. Can’t go wrong with anything. Coffee was also nice and bold but not bitter.

CASH ONLY! Went there for lunch and the food was good. It’s standard diner type food. Nothing overly special, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Totally unexpected gem in the heart of Croydon. I’ve been here at least once a week since I first tried it out. Anyone that doesn’t give this place 5 stars is CRAZY!
I’ve honestly never been dissapointed but a few of my favorites are the French toast deluxe and the diablo omelet. Try the specials they are always spectacular!

Love the breakfast there. The prices are very reasonable, the food is awesome. I had the Philly cheesesteak omelet: chopped steak, onions and homemade whiz sauce, yum. My girlfriend got the Belgan waffle, it was fresh and thick. Definitely a great spot.

We ate here on Friday morning around 11:00, so you could go either way (breakfast or lunch). Everything on the menu looked yummy, but I went for lunch. The rest of my party (Hubby, Mom, Aunt and Uncle) all went for breakfast. Hubby got pancakes, eggs and a homemade sausage patty. I would go back here just for the sausage patty, it was excellent! Everyone else got typical breakfast fare too: omelets, oatmeal, and fruit. The fruit cup was impressive; everything was bright and delicious looking. Some places will try to give you anemic honeydew and call it a day. I hate that!
I went with a lunch of chicken fingers and O.C.C. fries: fries with fried onions, bacon and homemade wiz. They were YUMMY!!! I put some hot sauce on them too, comfort food perfection. The chicken fingers were pretty good. Next time I’m getting a full plate of O.C.C. fries.
The menu is extensive, lots of choices for breakfast and lunch. Some of the items are highlighted, indicating you can get a smaller portion, for a smaller price! On Thursday, Friday and Saturday they are open for dinner and it’s BYOB. We’ll have to check this out sometime. The Old Croydon Café is not a fancy place, but they have good service, good food, great prices and plentiful portions. This was a definite find!

This has become my new favorite hole in the wall place in Bucks County. Great diner-​like menu with daily specials that are creative and unique. Breakfast is the BEST!!! The service by the friendly waitresses is terrific.

My husband and I like nothing better than discovering a new little hole-​in-​the-​wall eatery. In this case, we were directed to the Old Croydon Café by our trainer, who also shared the compelling back story for this diner. The owner, like far too many others, found himself unemployed during the recession. He decided to use his break from the workaday world as an opportunity to pursue his dream of restaurant ownership. And he marshaled various resources to gamble on opening the Old Croydon Café. It is a gamble that has paid off for numerous happy breakfast and lunch eaters, to be sure. The owner himself mans the kitchen, while the diner is staffed by a very enthusiastic waitstaff.
We have enjoyed breakfasts here several times. Standouts are the fluffy pancakes with a homemade maple-​butter topping and the generously proportioned breakfast sandwiches. That is not to say that we have ever been disappointed: The owner’s TLC translates into perfectly textured omelets and beautifully finished egg dishes. Prices are reasonable and competitive.
The Old Croydon Café serves only breakfast and lunch, and its hours are 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
