An eccentric, flavorful item on the breakfast menu is the Kona Blend, a combination of one egg. milk, banana and orange juice, blended with a dash of vanilla Kona cafe also serves omelets and sandwiches, along with some less-common items like liuevoa Rancheros. which is two eggs cooked over easy in salsa, served over refried (mans and chaddar cheese, and topped with green onions and black olives. Kona cafe is a warm, cozy place that occasionally plays classical music to augment the already soothing atmosphere Large front windows provide good light for reading the newspaper in the morning or just watching the people walk by. Next door to Kona Cafe are the Fall Creek Bakery and Valentine's, at BUI E. 13th Ave. Combined, these two establishments offer a delicious selectin of morning pastries, breads, and rolls, and specialty coffees Valentine's has a fine selection of wines as well. Hoot's Family Restaurant, located at 440 E. 8th Ave. is the paragon of coffee houses in the campus area The best aspect of Hoot’s is not the coffee, which is medicore at best, but the resturaunt's authentic working class ambience. Open 24 hours. Hoot's is bustling with activity on Friday and Saturday nights, especially during the early morning hours after 1 am. Hoot's harbors a clientele representative of Flugene's diverse population. During the day or night, all types on in dividuals can be found there: and by no means is the restaurant student-oriented However, according to Sue and Val. graveyard waitresses at Hoot's, students can come and study at night Rut if the seating capacity becomes compromised during busy hours, it is best that the students pick up their books and leave "They can come and study until it gets busy." Val said. The food is priced more than fairly, and the service is delightfully slow The waitresses at Hoot's generally serve you well, even when they are under the pressure of work ing in a fast-paced environment. Food recommendations: While at Hoot's, go with the in herent American spirit of the place and try the hot beef sand wich for $3.15 or the 16oz. Rib Steak and Rings for $7.95. Hamburgers are consistently good, and inexpensive. Hoot's is also a fine place for an early breakfast Coffee at Hoot's costs 40 cents and includes refills Hut if you are burned out on coffee, try a old-fashioned malt at $1 35. All and all. Hoot's is an ex cellent place for some late-night fun in a meaningful environ ment. Hoot's has that special all-American truck-stop type charm that must be experienced with aesthetic sensitivity to be understood and enjoyed. International House of Pan cakes, located at 355 E. Broad way and directly across the street from Hoot's, is open 24 hours and provides a feasible, although unsatisfactory, alter native to Hoot's. The IHOP is not only geographically opposite of Hoot's, the restaraunt is con trary in style and spirit as well. As contrasted against a tradi tional. small-town diner like Hoot's, IHOP stands out as a in stitutionalized cancer on the restaurant front Essentially, the restaurant looks the same as any other 1HOP anywhere in the country, and as a result the place has no individuality to call its own. I-et's face it, if you've seen one ora nge-and- brown-molded - plastic-pseudo-woodgrain in terior. you've seen them all. The same concerns apply to the slow, hut mildly polite waitresses that serve you. Dress ed in dreadful, homogeneous uniforms, the waitresses appear to be carbon-copies of one another, just as the restaurant, in both its architecture and in terior, is a copy of its corporate prototype. The food is not bad, but it's not the greatest either. As its name implies, the restaurant of fers pancakes, including an ar ray of different types. And most of the pancake dishes are pretty palatable. Hamburgers, such as the mushroom burger, are prepared well and usually suffice for a late-night munch out. But much of the food, including both the hamburgers and pancakes, is overpriced. The 1HOP does offer one par ticular benefit: the bottomless cup of coffee. For 50 cents, the restaurant provides patrons with a carafe of freshly-brewed coffee that ensures a constant supply Considering the accesssibility of coffee at IHOP, it is a viable place to go for a late-night study session, if one can tolerate the decor and the institutional pretentiousness. But if you are looking for a place to eat. bypass the House of Pancakes— it will pay off. literally.
