★★★★★ 5.0 Shelley Onnen · Jan 2026

Excellent food, great service. Clean and friendly

★★★★★ 5.0 Ashley McCune Koch · Feb 2026

Approx 10 minute wait when we arrived on a Saturday morning. A good sign of a good spot for brunch (10am). Studied the menu while we waited and ordered within five minutes of being seated. Food came quickly and we all made it to the "clean plate club."

This is a Cafe that could use a makeover, but don't let that detour you from the grilled chicken salad! It was delicious. My granddaughter got the breaded chicken salad, she loved it an couldn't eat it all. Food was great an service is always fantastic. Deb Shearer

We visited for a Saturday brunch. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the chicken crisp melt and the country skillet. And the raspberry tea is delicious. The service was excellent.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shelly Winter · Feb 2023

Great food & friendly waitstaff. Menu had choices for everyone. I ran out of room, but pie selection looked good. Even though I am not one, I liked that they had a specialty menu section for Veterans & Seniors. Would definitely recommend.
