Cafe Genovese

I came to the restaurant for the first time to talk to the owners and maybe enjoy a hot coffee. When I saw the menu and the prices I thought I would like to eat something. So many good choices and I settled for the Belgian waffle and sausage links. I already had eaten eggs earlier this morning but when I saw that they had Log Cabin syrup with NO High Fructose Corn Syrup, my mind was made up! The coffee was hot. Hannah, my server, did a great job! My food tasted fresh; and I learned that Mario, the owner, was the chef. The restaurant was going to close shortly after I left but I'm glad I bypassed Grumpy's with people waiting to get in for overpriced food and enjoy a local diner atmosphere instead. You have to make a date to visit this cafe'. The regulars sitting at the bar reminded me of th

If you want delicious food that was cooked with love then this is your place! Family run restaurant where everyone knows each other and is enjoying company! The staff and owners seem like they are family with all the patrons and have friendly conversations with everyone! You just feel good eating here and I wish more places were like this! Highly recommended!!

A true hidden gem! The food is amazing, the service is outstanding! This locally owned spot is perfect for breakfast or lunch, with plenty of delicious vegan and vegetarian options. I highly recommend their delicious pancakes, the veggie omelette with home fries, and their fresh salads

That’s gotta be one of the best corn beef hash breakfasts I’ve ever had. The food was seasoned super well, perfectly crispy and delicious. Great service and atmosphere, this place is a breakfast gem.

Local Jax peeps but we live on the other side of town. We were looking for a diner vibe on the way out of town, that has great breakfast and lunch. We saw this place has 4.7 stars. Those 4.7 stars are well earned! I had a classic breakfast standard and it was amazing. The coffee is fantastic. I find diner coffee is usually weak and very average but not this place! My partner had a reuben that rivaled any he has had recently and this is something he orders frequently all across the country. The staff was super friendly and efficient. We are fans and will be back the next time we are anywhere in the area.
