My guy, friend and I went there for a late lunch. Walking in, the atmosphere is very quaint and cozy. The menu had plenty to choose from, they have bakery goods there in the dining area also. My friend had the turkey and gravy open face sandwich which was delicious, I might add just as a thought, maybe offer a side with it, whether a vegetable or maybe mashed potatoes with gravy. I had the veggie burrito which was huge. I brought half home, was delicious. There was all kinds of stuff in it, too many to remember, here a few, scrambled eggs, spinach, hash browns which were delicious, not browned, just heated, they were awesome, red bell peppers I believe, onions and cheese. And the prices are very affordable. After our meal we viewed their bakery. I bought a pumpkin bread which was delicious and a three pack of oatmeal raisin cookies. We actually ate the cookies on the way home and had a few slices each of the pumpkin bread for a snack later on. Also offering delicious looking huge blueberry or peach muffins, and many more items. So I give them a five-star.***** With that said we will be back and I hope you will go and give them a try. Check it out! 👍👍👍👍👍

Best. French. Toast. Ever. Large portions of comfort food, good menu with great food, and very personable staff. Will definitely come again if we’re back in town & would be dangerous if we lived here. 😅

This small Cafe is filled with charm and all of the food is homemade. The corn chowder was the best I've ever had! All of the baked goods are homemade including the bread for the sandwiches.

This was an amazing experience overall. The food was outstanding 👌 you could taste the love that was put into it. Very cozy atmosphere, reasuring that the food was prepared in a clean environment. The husband, wife and daughter team made the overall experience over-the-top 5 stars! What a pleasure it was to support their business.

This little café is such a hidden gem! The food tastes homemade with so much care put into every plate. The owners are the sweetest people—you can tell they truly care about their customers and community. It feels cozy and welcoming. Definitely a place worth supporting—I’ll be back again and again!

This was my FAVORITE place to eat in all of Yankeetown! Every meal I ordered was delicious (breakfast sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, waffles). I also loved the relaxed atmosphere and the charming personality of the host/chef/owner!

Just ok. The coffee was very basic, non dairy creamer and a thermos kind of basic. Food was just ok. Not much else around in a very small town. Really not much a bakery either.

I went to this cafe on Saturday July 26th, 2025 and the food was absolutely delicious, the server was very friendly, the man who also serves is very friendly and kind! The chocolate covered strawberries are among the best I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back. PS I live an hour away and the Food and chocolate covered strawberries are worth the price and the gas!

Exceptional food and service. The bread for my BLT was homemade and delicious. Service was second to none. Definitely recommend and worth the travel if not in the area. Make sure you grab some baked goods for later!
