editorial profile:
Tower Café’s name doesn’t quite speak to its vivacious multiglobal personality and matching menu. The favorite breakfast/brunch spot on Broadway explodes with cultural décor, Buddha statues, paintings of a serious-faced Frida Khalo and porcelain statues of Chinese fisherman. Locals love the established restaurant—adjacent to Tower Theatre—for its plates from breakfast to dinner that celebrate diversity. Some breakfast choices: New Mexico cornmeal blueberry pancakes that arrive warm with dollops of melted butter, Greek omelet, huevos rancheros. For lunch, try the Persian pita (chicken, green apples, toasted almonds in a curry yogurt sauce, a Brazilian salad (chicken, mango, black beans and avocado and papaya) or a bowl of Nicaraguan black bean soup. For dinner, honor the local Irish with a pot of Guinness stew (Niman Ranch chuck roast, carrots over mashed potatoes) or order from the tapas menu. Tower’s is well worn, comfortable and can be chaotically busy during its weekend breakfast hours. But if you don’t mind the wait, coffee is strong and tasty, and the food fresh and flavorful.

" My favorite place for Chinese Chicken Salad—theirs rocks! Their desserts are fantastic too. My only complaint is that their prices are a bit high. "

" Whenever I go to the Tower Movie theater I eat at the Tower Cafe and no matter how bad the movie is I am always happy because the food is great! The service is also great and they are really helpful. My favorite is the southwestern salmon - cooked to perfection, new potatoes and great cooked spinach. The veggie hamburger is also really good and I have never had a bad salad. And then of course you can enjoy the great breakfasts and dessert! "

" We recently tried this place for the first time with another couple for a holiday dinner out. What a great place! The ambiance was fun, the service was fantastic and the food pleasantly surprised all of us! Each of us had completely different menu items and they were all fantastic... and the desserts - WOW! We can't wait to go back and try their breakfast menu and look forward to trying the patio seating in the spring! "
