Dux Cafe Restaurant

Table-side iced water lands the moment you sit down at this South Terrace standby, setting the tone for an easy, unfussy neighborhood breakfast. Regulars make a beeline for the lemon crepes dolloped with mascarpone or the hearty Dux fry-up stacked with crisp croquettes, eggs over easy, and slabs of sourdough with proper butter. The espresso pulls smooth and rounded over ice—a clean foil to a plate of banana crepes or Nutella stacks that keep kids quiet before the floor manager slips them a takeaway cookie on the way out.
