Just a 20 minute ride away from Cabrini lies one of Morton, Pa.’s hottest morning hot spots. The Coffee Station is a small, family-operated restaurant that is located right next to the Morton train station.
Known for their coffee and breakfast assortments, the Coffee Station offers the traditional eggs and bacon along with more unique options such as “the Bugtussel,” which is two eggs up with melted cheese and canadian bacon on an English muffin. And of course you can not forget the home fries.
If the Bugtussel or Reeses peanut butter pancakes do not spark an interest, then diners can opt for lunch options as a modification.
The Morton Monster challenge is what sets this restaurant apart from the others. The Morton Monster is the Coffee Station’s signature sandwich consisting of two scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese compressed between two slices of Texas toast.
The challenge presented to those willing to take it on is to eat four of these “monsters” in one sitting by yourself. There is no time limit to complete this dare and if you can do it without a bathroom break, this meal will be free, you will receive a free t-shirt and your picture will be hung on their wall of fame.
When selecting the decor for this coffee shop, the owners decided to keep in mind that they are located in an old bank. While the initial facade does not scream finance or savings, there are subtle hints throughout the dining rooms.
There are old bank notes hanging on the walls in the midst of the plethora of other images and memorabilia. Also, the back room is located inside of the former bank’s vault.
This family-friendly restaurant presents reasonably priced items and an inviting atmosphere that keeps bringing customers back. The only downside is if you get a breakfast-for-dinner craving, you will be out of luck.
The Coffee Station is only open until 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
