We come here for breakfast a couple times a year, and eat before browsing through the Farmers Market, which is only 50 yards away. The staff is always friendly, and the place is always immaculately clean. The clocks on the wall are creative works of art and fun to watch. My date had the egg sandwich, sunny-side up, and I went with a create-your-own omelette, with a side of rye toast. All good, although the rye bread needs an upgrade. Will continue to come back when we visit the area.

Been coming here for years. Service is always super friendly and spot on. The food is okay, nothing has ever blown my socks off though. The floors are always sticky everywhere. Location has always been a draw as I feel tucked away from the major bustle of the area.

Nice atmosphere, cute spot. After about 15 minutes of us sitting down, one of the waitresses notices that no one has taken drinks or anything yet so she became our waitress. Amy is the one that ended up waiting our table and she was awesome, but sad our waitress never showed up, especially since so much of the staff was walking back and forth by us. I got the brisket hash and my wife got the bananas foster french toast. The brisket hash was wet with no flavor, with bits of damp potatoes and it came with 2 unseasoned eggs. The French toast was better, but still not that much flavor, even though it looked great when it got to the table. The best part about the our time here is that there was no wait to sit down.

Food and service is good here. But the restaurant is very crowded in Sunday mornings. We waited for more than 1 hour: 30 mins for seats and 30 mins more in seats for foods. If you are hungry and want to have a branch, this is not the right place, at least on Sundays. Local people love gatherings and have social life in this restaurant. If you insist, it’s better to eat something before entering the restaurant. Good luck.
Will definitely be back. Very hard to find charming restaurants and not corporate chains. Our server said she’s been with the restaurant for 12 of their 15 years in business and the owner stopped by.
It’s lovely. Food was delicious. Just good vibes all around.

We were passing through the area and decided to have an early lunch at Dixie Cream Cafe. We were able to find a parking spot easily and walked into the Cafe to put our name on the waiting list at around 11am on a weekday.
It looked like there were maybe three parties ahead of us waiting for tables, none of them were a party of two. We had spotted a table literally right next to the door inside, across from the coffee bar, immediately upon walking in. Once I realized how loud the normal seating area was, I actually preferred to sit over in this secluded area on the high tables. We asked the hostess if we would be able to sit there and she said yes, if it was still available after she sat everyone ahead of us on the list. No problem, I get it, I used to be a hostess way back when. 20 minutes later the table is still empty, no one was sat there because the parties ahead of us were not parties of two (as I thought) -- and so she sat us at the high table we requested. I'm not sure why she waited to seat us in the exact order of people on her list, when we could have been accommodated without overstepping those who were waiting before us in larger parties. She could have freed up the standing waiting area by just letting us sit down.
Anyway, we knew what we wanted to order immediately, and the food came out relatively quickly considering how busy it was. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich with the sauce on the side (I like to dip instead of having things smothered in sauce). The lettuce on the bun was really wilted, like it had been heat burned way before it made it to my table, and the tomato had a large part of the stem in the center, so I took those off. The chicken itself was really bland and heavily depended on the buffalo sauce for any sort of flavor. I don't think the bread crumbs were seasoned and it didn't come with mayo or ranch or any other sauces on the bun or on the side besides normal buffalo sauce. My husband got the BLT with the fried green tomatoes and loved it. The French fries were average skinny fries and were not seasoned/salted or anything spectacular.
I'm thinking breakfast is where it is at here at Dixie Cream Cafe. I would come back to try breakfast options, maybe when the weather is cooler so I can sit outside. Because, again, it is really loud inside. Really, really loud.
