" This is a no-frills diner that surprised me with its warm service and decent food. I went in just for a quick bite and grabbed an omelet. It was pretty basic but cooked well. I appreciate how friendly the staff was, and the place had a local vibe with regulars chatting away. If you're looking for a place to refuel during your errands in the city, this cafe does the job well. Just don't forget the cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Apollo Cafe and ordered their breakfast combo. The food was tasty and the portions were satisfying for the price. I appreciated the quaint atmosphere, though it could get a bit busy, which is understandable given how good the food is. I did find it odd that they only take cash, and there is a small ATM that is helpful but just make sure to come prepared. Overall, I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here by chance and it was a pleasant surprise! The pancakes were fluffy like a cloud, and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The overall experience was very upbeat and reinforced by the friendly service. I also liked the speed of the service. The only letdown was that they are cash-only which caught me off guard - but I'll definitely make a note for next time. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great breakfast. " (*Curated Review*)

" The other day I decided to check out Apollo Cafe for brunch, and it was a cozy little place! The food tasted homemade and freshly made, I had a veggie omelet and it was delish. The atmosphere here is very welcoming, and the staff are friendly as can be! I’m glad I chose this spot. Just a heads up, they don’t take cards, but I think it’s worth it for the lovely meal I had. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Apollo Cafe was lovely! The breakfast platter was satisfying and well priced. The atmosphere does get a bit crowded, but that's part of its charm. Plus, the staff were kind and attentive. It's cash only, which is an adjustment. I will be back for more meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the Apollo Cafe for a local breakfast and it was enjoyable. I had a breakfast sandwich loaded with all the right ingredients. The service was quick, and I loved the homey vibe of the cafe. While it’s mostly a cash-only place, it felt like a secure option where you can grab a meal on the go. I would visit again when I'm in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Apollo Cafe for breakfast was an experience I won't forget. I ordered their signature omelet, which was packed with fresh vegetables and cheese, all for a budget-friendly price! The atmosphere was relaxed, perfect for a casual morning. The service was quick, which is essential when I’m in a rush. I’ll definitely be back again, as I think this place is a hidden gem in the city. " (*Curated Review*)
