I took a little drive this morning to explore the back roads and found a pleasant little family-owned diner in downtown Geneseo. All of the wait staff were extremely friendly, polite, and accommodating, the environs were very clean and well-maintained. I ordered the Ham and Cheese Scone with choice of eggs and sausage gravy which was delicious! The scone was appropriately dense (as a proper scone should be), and the ham and cheddar cheese added depth and a savoury quality that really balanced out the entrée. The sausage gravy was obviously made from scratch, (unlike most restaurants these days), and had wonderful seasoning and a generous amount of sausage mixed in! Despite a fair distance, (30 miles), I will be sure to return soon to try out their other offerings! Thank you State Street Cafe for a fantastic breakfast (and a delicious dining alternative to the mediocre dining options offered here in Moline/ Rock Island)! I'll be back soon!

Well worth coming off I-80. My friend and I ate and had coffee for $25 including tip. There's a huge off-street parking lot behind the building but there was plenty of room on the street as well. I wouldn't hesitate to bring kids in -- service was quick with lots of kid-friendly menu options.There's some real surprises here that I didn't expect at a local cafe and especially not at these prices! I was there on a Sunday morning, before 8am. I had the quiche of the day, which was very good and clearly freshly-baked. I have to say I was surprised at the size of the serving -- I would have expected some kind of heads-up on the menu ("on the lighter side" for instance). On the other hand, wanting more isn't exactly a bad review! It was very, very good and the home fries are downright amazing. The wait staff were personable but not up in our business and the place was clean without feeling like a fast food place. The coffee is Midwest Brownwater, but there's charm there as well! Definitely repeatable!
Mom and pop shop, HIGHLY recommend!Cafe burger was very satisfying. Had bacon and cheese on it, great size beef patty. Great value. Homemade pie was also great. I will be back!
