Customer Reviews
Vegan burger, tasty to eat, yes, I'm grateful for the option. However, No Protein in the burger, only carbs and fat. It's not a coherent vegan meal! It does not make sense. Fries were good, with extra ketchup. Service was good. Proprietor is a very nice man, had a stimulating & interesting conversation. Ambiance is interesting, in a good human way, see the pictures. Not just standard plastic, like the corporate franchises. Nice comfort food, for those who dine on meat, and cookies.
We have been trying to visit this place for the past 3 years and the wait was worth it. It’s a small family-run cafe and the owner was really sweet. We tried their matchbox veggie farm burger which was great and their vegetarian lasagna which was outstanding. Portion size was huge for lasagna since it came with 6 slices of garlic bread. We were sitting near the parking since our daughter was sleeping in the car and the owner came to give the food to the parking. The view from the parking was so nice - there was some cool breeze and the trees on the farm in front of us were moving.
Really cute cozy family owned spot!! Everything is made from scratch. The burger was memorably delicious!! We also got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich - every ingredient was so fresh and perfect! Not greasy at all.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been going to The Matchbox Cafe for a few years now, ever since they moved here, and I’ve loved it every time. The food is amazing—fresh, comforting, and clearly made with care. Everything people say about this place is true. The burgers really are some of the best around, cooked just right and full of flavor, and I completely understand why so many people rave about the veggie burger as well. The fries are delicious, and the menu has a great variety without feeling overwhelming. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with that home-style, local feel that keeps people coming back. It’s a place that truly lives up to its reputation. Consistently excellent food and a place I’m always happy to return to. Highly recommend.
Ok so this establishment is SO good I feel compelled to get a wee bit wordy here. My wife had the chicken pot pie, usually only a take home/away item, but they were cooking them. She loved it. I had two bites and it was amazing. My daughter had a salad which she loved and it looked amazing. My son and I both had burgers. His was a cheeseburger with American cheese and I took mine with Blue Cheese. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. He enjoyed his as well. The fries are 5 stars. The food is amazing and the owners are friendly and kind. We will be going back.
