About The Serving Cafe

The Serving Cafe is a shiny and clean restaurant with friendly staff known for their bright smiles and kind service. It offers delicious food at reasonable prices, making it a great spot for families. The black raspberry jam from Kalona remains a must-try for toast lovers. During summer, it's advisable to visit earlier in the day due to the heat affecting kitchen operations. They serve specialty coffee and tea, which are convenient to order ahead for quick pick-up, especially for those on the go. Customers often enjoy breakfast after workouts, with the avocado toast with a side of bacon being a favorite. The cinnamon roll is highly praised as one of the best available, and some customers have noted its perfect, dense yet fluffy texture.

The atmosphere in the cafe is inviting, with plenty of light and a clean, sanitary space free of unnecessary distractions. It's clear that everyone cares deeply about their work. The cafe is popular among locals and visitors alike, especially during Hoover Days. They easily accommodate special requests, such as grilled cinnamon buns, which have been described as extraordinary. Despite some comments about slower serving times, the staff is known for going the extra mile, creating a welcoming environment. The cafe is a highlight of West Branch, with many considering it worth going out of the way for, especially with their efficient takeout service.

First visit; sampled a cheese danish and "The Classic" breakfast, a long with a cherry vanilla chai. Everything I tried was delicious, and the fried potatoes are aMAzing. The service was attentive and friendly, and this place just has general food vibes. highly recommend!
