Love this place but I’m Celiac and they do not offer gluten free bread. So, I can never enjoy toast here with my breakfast. They need to get with the program! Real Food needs to be sensitive to the fact that people have food allergies. You’re behind the times!!
Dishonest. Bill had 3% surcharge ‘to offset fast-rising expenses. Just raise your prices. Tacking on an involuntary surcharge like this is deceitful.
Strange: We entered at 11:40, post breakfast, pre lunch rush. Our server was truly awful-- we wondered if she was inexperienced, as she did not bring waters for all, did not bring coffee (which is ultra expensive for what it is), did not bring silverware for all. She literally threw the napkins on the table, the jellies, and some flavored coffee creamers. So weird. She wan't rushed, it just seemed she didn't know the rudiments of serving. The food was good... but again strange: 1. the menu needs to be updated on line as the prices are way out of line with reality of what is charged : e.g. combo of soup of the day and 1/2 featured sandwich is NOT $6.95... it's $10 PLUS a small print paragraph on the menu indicates an additional 3% fee will be added because of price increases. SNEAKY , Eh? 2. The BLT is stated as Sourdough bread, Bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo. What we got-- RYE bread which overwhelmed the small pieces of bacon, lettuce, cheese, tomato slice. I gave them 3 stars because the place is clean and the food is o.k. if you don't mind strange bad service and not getting what's described AND adding a 3% fee (NO THAT IS NOT THE GRATUITY) -- so you're sucked into believing one price, then a 3% fee added on. OH my that is so silly folks who own Real Food Cafe.
Stopped in for breakfast while in the area. We arrived around 10am and had a 20 minute wait. They have a very large menu to choose from and from what we ordered, everything was great!! The only drawback is that they only accept cash, but they do have an ATM onsite.
Food is incredibly delicious! We tried the Westsider Scramble, Loaded Pancake, English muffin breakfast sandwich, granola banana pancakes, and garden omelet. All were amazing.
Amazing Breakfast Place: Great Service, a lot of interesting food choices and the food was perpared extremely good. Had the Breakfast Quesidilia and like it till the last bite. And then i missed it. Just the single use plastic containers for the salsa and the sour cream - thats not really neccessary anymore, especially for dine in guests Pricing is reasonable. So we will for sure come by soon again.
Food is always amazing whenever I go there. Always made to order and never bad at all. Even when busy and through covid always good food.

We love to go here for breakfast. Really good pancakes, cinnamon rolls, etc. I don’t care for their sausage patties but the bacon is delicious. Go early on the weekends to avoid a wait. Staff is friendly!
This place has pretty much everything you look for: Friendly staff, quick service, an extensive menu, and excellent food. Everything works. (As others have pointed out - bring cash.)

They are always busy but the food is incredible. Staff are welcoming and pleasant. They are a cash only establishment.
We love to go out for breakfast as well as make breakfast dishes at home. When we go out, we always order something a little different. Today I had a delicious pancake with yogurt, granola and fresh fruit (strawberries/blueberries/bananas). I ate all of it (which I don't always do!). Hubby had a fabulous omelet with ham, potatoes, green peppers, cheese, onions. He couldn't quite finish it ( I did take two bites). Coffee is good, service is good, they have yummy takeout scones, muffins, cookies, bars, etc. Be sure to bring cash - no cards accepted. They do have an ATM on site. Will be back soon!
Always have a fabulous breakfast, and awesome service. Often very busy, but if you go at the right time it's no wait and fast service. However a busy breakfast restaurant is a sign of an awesome place to eat. They also have fresh baked goods to take on your way. So good!!
Very friendly staff showed me how to operate the game! did not mind me asking questions she was the best!!!
The egg white omelette with spinach, mushrooms and provolone cheese was really good. It was an extra couple bucks for egg whites and then each topping. Coffee is $2.50. Parfait was $5 but it was really good and I would get it again. Plenty of parking and the best pancakes. I wish they had a healthy start pancake like they do waffle but if you order it they charge you for every single topping and it ends up being way more.
