Best breakfast

If it weren’t for the unbelievably cramped entryway and long waits at the Old Milwaukee Café, we would have picked it as the Best Traditional Breakfast in our Best of Tacoma issue a few weeks back. Standing in the cold with our faces pressed against the windows became old.
Anyway, the delicious breakfast spot has extended its hours to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Neat.
