In Short
Once inside this art-deco coffee shop, with its tall white walls and flashes of chrome and neon, diners will find just what the staff T-shirts assert--friendly service and good food. Pancakes, Bette's claim to fame, are pleasantly fluffy and lightly sweet. Buttery omelettes are served with thick, yummy fried potatoes and a tall, crumbly muffin. Lunch dishes include a selection of tasty, traditional sandwiches, such as roast beef and chicken salad.

If you want to experience the delicious food at Bette's, get there very early in the morning. When they first open is about the only way to get seated without waiting more than an hour. The wait is a testimony to their good food and decent service. Just be prepared!

this place is SMALL and PACKED, but for good reason. Breakfast is really good, like a home cooked meal quality - not ihop kitchen quality [even though i still like ihop]. very casual in contrast to the rest of 4th street.

Ola! Well on a whim I decided to try this place out. It was Saturday morn and it was busy. But I got lucky and was able to park IFO ( in front of) the place. There was list and a wait of 45 minutes. A couple said they were told 45 mins. too,but waited 20. So we sat in our car and waited. It was a balmy 70, clear skies a bit of wind but a beautiful day. A lot of people decided to not wait. I got impatient at 40 minutes went to ask and they gave me a table on the sidewalk. So I am a happy troop-per. The waiter was very fast nice and reeled off the specials. But I decided against them and my wifey , Andreia, stayed with her mundane pic, LOL. I read the menu and was curious about their 3 egg omelet with country potatoes .sour cream and scones. Wifey had short stack and scrambled eggs ,hard cook. 2.25 for one egg 2.75 for two eggs I told her go for the two. short stack 4.95 My breakfast was 7 or 8.95 ham and cheese omelet . Well whoop my bunda and put me out to dry. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BREAKFAST I have ever. OUTSTANDING. It is cooked ,per the menu ,in a french style. The eggs were creamy to the mouth and cheese was great. Ham was fine not too overwhelming. I always pepper and hot pepper my egg. This time very little. and only a dash of salt. out of habit I think. So I will be back for dinner and lunch. It is worth the wait and I am a impatient person
