Brunch.\n\n11 am on Sunday morning. Two other tables in the restaurant were occupied. Needless to say, there was no wait, and we were seated promptly. A plus. \n\nService was attentive, but not overbearing, although one of our party thought our server was overly attentive at times. I forgive them for there being nothing much in the restaurant to do other than attend to us. \n\nFresh squeezed orange juice was light, sweet, and refreshing, although I could have done without the narrow, tall juice glass. I enjoyed the mediterranean omelette, and it was really lovely except for there being a bit too much salt, but nothing overpowering or too detrimental. House sausage was flavorful with good texture, while the feta cheese and cherry tomatoes' lightness and freshness were pleasant all pleasant additions to the omelette. The baked grated potato was really an excellent accompaniment, and I loved the crusted potato cake aspect and the cheese that topped it. As for the yogurt and cucumber salad, seemed to be well made with high quality ingredients, but just not my thing--you may love it. Portion size overall was adequate, though I would have gladly traded some omelette for more potato. All in all, a pretty solid and interesting omelette made with high quality ingredients for $10. If you toss in sitting outside on a lovely morning into the mix, a pretty fair deal.\n\nOther than the over-salting, my remaining gripe may not so much be the fault of the Caffe. The place was just so empty and quiet, it took away from the experience. The restaurant has a dark, comfortable, clean, and modern atmosphere, but when it's nearly empty, it's a negative. Perhaps Sunday morning is really for Tempians to sleep off the previous night, and so Sunday brunch is not a priority. Too bad; a vibrance brought by tables filled with patrons would really add to the experience. But hopefully not so many as to add a wait...
