The Meyers opened their establishment three years ago, after retiring and moving back to Bill's home state from the couple's home in Florida. A salesman for more than three decades, Bill and his wife, Mary, a former paralegal, started the bakery shortly after relocating to Guttenberg. So the Meyers looked to Mary's baking talent as natural avenue to follow. About a year ago, the Meyers expanded the bakery's services by adding the cafe, which opens at 6 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday.
Breakfast accounts for about half the cafe's customers, and the menu obviously is the drawing card.
Every morning features a special, from pancakes and sausage on Tuesdays to biscuits and gravy on Saturdays. Omelets, waffles, pancakes, French toast, eggs and plenty of accompanying side orders fill out the morning fare. There's nothing worse than fried potatoes just sitting there getting cold. Nothing, Bill emphasizes is made even a day ahead. Brunch will not be served Easter Sunday.
