YoChef's Café

On a whim I google mapped restaurants that were open Sunday after church. This spot popped up so we thought we'd give it a try. This was an awesome find. The food was absolutely fantastic! I had the Philly cheesesteak which was probably the best one I've had in a long, long time. It came with a nice big bowl of au jus so I can dunk my sandwich in there really well, as it should be. The wait staff was great and they kept my coffee cup full! My lovely bride had the chicken avocado wrap, and she commented repeatedly about how good it was and that we have to come back. I'm always happy to post something like this to help out a restaurant that's doing a great job- and they are! As much as I'd like to keep this gem to myself it's too good not to share.

Amazing burger! - A Lotta Bacon, Bacon Burger - $13.50: One of the best burgers in Grand Rapids! I ordered it medium without pickle and with American cheese (they confirmed “Kraft singles”). The cheese was not a “Kraft singles” cheese, but I don’t care. This cheese was better. The half-pound burger patty was super juicy, huge, and seasoned perfectly. The bacon was just the right amount for perfect flavor. The toppings were fresh. They have a great selection of other burgers. I’d love to try the Death Burger sometime. - Fries (came with the burger or $2.50 as a side): Medium to larger cut. Mine were a bit cold, but my son’s fries were very hot. Other than that, they were cooked through, soft, and with the right amount of salt. - White [Chocolate] Mocha 12oz - $4.50: The coffee

We were looking for a breakfast/brunch place, saw the great reviews and the variety of menu options so 5 of us met here and we were not disappointed. Food was fresh and tasty. My son said he had the best corn beef he's had before. There were veggies options as well. My salad was delicious with Romain, goat cheese, feta, dried cherries and pumpkin seeds. I added chicken to the salad for protein. Overall great experience and would gladly come back again .

Hot Honey Chicken sandwich was not spicy, but otherwise crispy and good. The pancake was dense and not tasty. It was the opposite of light and fluffy. Service was ok. Friendly but didn't get checked on. Bathrooms were ok (over-fragranced). Portions were good.

We came for breakfast and really appreciated the menu options which showed some creative flair. Yogurt was loaded with fresh fruit and Spanish omelette was very tasty. Coffee is a dark roast that is quite good. One of the mugs was square-shaped and kind of cool. Prices are fair for what you get. Service was friendly, but not highly competent. With only a couple others in there, we were never checked up on while eating. My wife got someone's attention for a coffee refill and then we ask for mine to be refilled at the same time. The dining room has some nice decorations like the cafe sign shown. Overall, however, it's pretty plain with a drop ceiling, fluorescent lights, and old floor tiles. If you like Taylor Swift and lots of ads, you'll like the background music.
