Santangelo's Cafe: A Hidden Gem for Delicious Breakfast and Brunch in Norristown

Family owned and operated. It's a great hidden breakfast place. Hidden because if you're not from the area, it is hard to locate. Located behind the old Maccaroon Factory in the East end of Norristown on Ridge Pk. Once located, there is a great breakfast and lunch menu to choose from. There is an upper room that accommodates large groups.

The staff here is always nice. It is a good place to go out for breakfast/lunch. Food is good and reasonably priced and restaurant is always clean. My young cousin loved her chocolate chip pancake and was sad she couldnt eat it all before she got full (they are ginormous!). I had the buffalo chicken cheesesteak . The roll they used was really good. The cheesesteak couldve used more buffalo sauce for me but thats up to preference. My mom had a traditional breakfast which she was also pleased with. She had a side of sausage which was huge as well.

Awesome breakfast spot. It's a shame it's kinda hidden behind the building but I highly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch/lunch! Friendly staff, place was clean and I will definitely be returning!

We are from NJ but found this gem. It is like your grandmas kitchen! The food is out of this world and the portions are huge!! Maurice was our server, and he was absolutely wonderful. His energy is amazing, you can overhear him making the kids laugh at the next table and keeps all the customers laughing as well. Good people here and a great business. We will be back even though we aren't from around there! Thank you for taking good care of us. Glad we sat at the counter, got to chat with great people and see the staff do their thing. Thanks!!

We love grabbing breakfast here. Such a good spot that I highly recommend. The cheesesteak omelette is *chef's kiss* - I ordered it with egg whites and it was still fantastic. The breakfast potatoes are also delicious. The pancakes are an absolute must and are huge! The food comes out pretty quickly. It's a small spot, definitely a hidden gem, and the waiters/waitresses have always been kind and friendly when we've gone. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

What a nice breakfast. Had to make a reservation even for outside on a Saturday. Friend had sausage , hash browns and eggs. I had the same with a bagel. The sausage is yummy grilled Italian sausage. (Great idea!!) Got a side of kielbasa. Now that is a great treat at breakfast. Good coffee . Excellent service. Super cheap. Hooray!!! $23 for the two of us. I highly recommend. Call and have them save you a seat.

Santangelo's Cafe is a down to earth example of creative adaptive reuse of old urban factories, this one in Norristown, PA. It is a tiny place with entry around the back of the large red brick structure, requiring attention to signs on the street directing where it is hidden. Plenty of parking back there. This family run breakfast, brunch & lunch joint has been going for 15 years, and the siblings certainly know how to work together. They are friendly and justly proud of what they do in the community. I sat at the six stool counter overlooking the small kitchen. Although a curtain separates customer view from flying spatula, the sounds of breakfast making are easily heard and entertaining. Coffee was decent, and my ask for milk over Mini Moos, graciously met. Unfortunately, it took too long to get a refill, as the curtain blocked the staff view of customers, and the floor person was obliviously attached to her phone. Yet, the short stack french toast was very good. Nice egg, vanilla and cinnamon mix for dipping, and good caramelization. Overall, Santangelo's is a strong find on the post industrial streets of Norristown. A little polish on customer service would elevate this earnest cafe to a higher level to match the quality of its menu.
