United Bakers Dairy Restaurant Lawrence Plaza
This restaurant is an institution. It offers only dairy products. Sorry meat lovers. You are out of luck here. It is almost like seeing a movie .I like to watch the patrons and the servers. There is a hustle and bustle. The bakery and take out are at the front. That section is always busy. The bread and bagels are very fresh and delicious. The fantastic soup is available for takeout. The bakery section offers a large variety of cakes, cookies and squares. It is a common meeting place for seniors in the area. I think it is so great that the seniors in the area meet here for nourishment and companionship. There is always an abundance of canes and walkers
It also is a great family restaurant. On the weekend be prepared for a long line with large families of several generations waiting for tables. I admire the silver haired servers who always have time to please and are often run off their feet. They are amazing.
My son had been taking a photography course in Huntsville Ont. He and my daughter-in-law were heading back to Chicago. We decided to meet at 8:00 a.m. for an early breakfast. I never eat breakfast but this was an unusual circumstance.
Our family was practically raised at this restaurant. The Split Pea Soup is like no other. It is thick, delicious and flavorful. My son actually asked for soup at this early hour but it was not ready until 9:00 a.m. If he wasn’t heading for an 8 hour drive he would have waited. That is how good the soup is.
Bob and I ordered Scrambled Eggs with Onions and Peppers. It didn’t appear on the menu but this order was no problem. The eggs were creamy and delicious. The onions were perfectly cooked. We had such a good time devouring this wonderful food. The multigrain bagel was very fresh.
My daughter-in-law had a fresh Cream Cheese, Lox and a Bagel. The portion was large and they even had enough to take some for that long ride back to Chicago.
It was obvious that many of the patrons were regulars. One lady arrived and before she even sat down an orange juice and coffee arrived at her plate. I heard her order The Scrambled Eggs Breakfast Special. Two eggs can be ordered cooked in any style with bagel, bread, home fries and sliced tomato
Many people on their way to business stop here daily for breakfast. All breakfast specials include juice and fresh brewed coffee. Waffles and French Toast are popular items. During the day many patrons stop for a pastry and coffee. The Blueberry Buns, Muffins, cupcakes and Rogalech are just a few of those tasty sweets.
At lunch and dinner time Salads and the Soups are the most popular item. The Gefilte Fish Platter is the best in town. My children always loved the Blintzes.
It is an experience to come to this restaurant. The weekends tend to be packed. If possible choose a weekday. Just go. It is am experience well worth the effort.
