The Nice Cafe is often an oasis on Main when you can't get into Slickety Jim's or any of the other hot spots on the weekend. You will be sitting and eating your shredded hasbrowns before you know it.

Slickety Jim's pretty much made Main Street. Before Slickety came along, it was nothing but tumble weeds. Oh ya, great food, great prices, great staff.

Interior is a 90's art student/goth project come to life, not unpleasant. Strange yet yummy breakfasts, some including way too many beans. I think you can order beer with your breakfast, if you want.
