Customer Reviews
LOVE EVERYTHING about Marilyn’s Cafe! Food, service, atmosphere and not bothered at all about their cash only policy. Had our first breakfast visit yesterday and know we will be back again real soon to explore lunch.
This was our first time here but not our last . The staff is amazing and found out family run the grandson that took care of us took real pride telling us it was his grandparents place and all family run. He took real pride in his job. Places like this do not exist anymore and it is said . The food was out of this world . Will definitely be back . Oh the chicken in the basket is amazing and the chicken orzo soup was really good also
This place was small and cozy but beautiful, with all the walls covered in Marilyn Monroe-inspired artwork. Keep in mind that this café only accepts cash.

With several tables open, the owner asked us to leave our table and move to the counter if we were going to continue to chat. It was 11 so hardly the breakfast rush, and the 2nd time this happened. I would understand if there were no tables and a line waiting to get in but that was not the case. We will find somewhere else to meet and hope for a better atmosphere. Plus - you have to pay for water!
Visiting Chester from L.A and found perfect small diner experience in the cutest town of Chester. Food and service was excellent, we met the owner and he was a gem so was his wife Marilyn. A must see place for a Marilyn lover.
