On the main drag through Turlock town, Latif's coffee shop stands the test of time. It has two large laminate U shaped counters. The motif is definitely 60's cinderblock. They proudly show the photos of the celebs that have eaten there, and some that show up at the Stanislaus County Fair.
They had a bargain breakfast. Two eggs, two pancakes, two bacon or sausage links for 5.29,no substitutions, thanks you very much. Waitress are on the long side of middle aged. There is a grain weight measure that you can hop on and get your weight if it is under 300 pounds.
Latif's is best known for its "homemade pies." They have a booth at the fair that gets a good line of followers.
It was a real happening place when the 99 did not bypass the town. Now, it sits, as old as most of the costumers that it serves and most of the people that are working there.

it's a "fly-in-amber" type of place... the waitresses call you "hon" and the salad dressing options are thousand island, blue cheese,or eye-talian. (no ranch here!) The pies were good, but I remember that I didn't go Latif's (pronounce either La-teefs or Lay-tiffs) very often. Warren's was better and open later and cheaper.
