These are stars based on the particular restaurants ambiance? It is a small quaint cafe that makes you feel right at home in small town. The servers remember your name and your order most times. Jessica was fantastic.

Easy for a quick lunch.I went there with a gal pal of mine and we split a meal and got some pie.It wasn't too busy, so you could hear your own conversation. I really appreciate how the staff engaged in its customers, no matter what time of day.

Food was good, but my jimmy! At 8 in the morning after being open for 2 hrs, my phone registered 65 degrees, uncomfortable

Excellent in every way possible. We dined with Ankeny Cafe on 12/23 just before the holidays and the place was extremely busy and had a small number of staff, but let me tell you they operate incredibly efficiently and they don’t miss a beat! Our server and the cashier were incredibly polite, orders were accurate, and food was incredible. We all had breakfast items (omlets and classics) and cannot wait to go back. Support local and give this place a try!

Had breakfast for the first time here and it was a great experience. Excellent food, service, and great prices. Every one was so friendly and we loved the atmosphere.

This is my FAVORITE SPOT in Ankeny, and I’m SO HAPPY that Ankeny Cafe is open on Saturdays now! I was only able to go every so often when they were just Mon-Fri, but now I’m sure I’ll be there almost every Saturday 🤩

I have been going here for over 12 years now and every time I come in there's a warmth that you can feel.

The service, the food, the conversations, this is a community staple of Ankeny!!

I was having breakfast at the counter talking about Omaha and the history of this restaurant, just enjoying the conversation.

This restaurant is an extension of my family!

Thank you so much for all that you do!

Best breakfast in Ankeny. I cherish this spot, complete with a giant U-shaped counter for conversation with neighbors. A true piece of Americana: the local cafe.

PS: Get the homemade fruit pie!
