The Runcible Spoon, first and foremost, serves an excellent breakfast, with entrées ranging from loaded omeletes to an order of sausage or excellent apple-smoked bacon. The lunch and dinner menus are smaller but offer some treats--the strip streak is a steal for $13, and the Black Russian, served with potatoes, makes a filling lunch for $4. The creamy tomato soup is a warming respite from the cold in the winter and is quite delicious. The Spoon also serves a variety of coffee drinks and serves some beer and wine.
The atmosphere is also unique--you can normally seat yourself, and one need only inquire inside for service outside. There are an assortment of older books on shelves on the main floor, and you can browse and read them as well. The bathroom is also notable, as the tub has been converted to an aquarium, which is home to a few goldfish.
Most entrées range are about $4-$10, appetizers and soups $1-$4. Breakfast is usually served at least until dinner, though sometimes it is served all day.
