Staff were outdone only by the food! Be prepared to be pleasantly overwhelmed by the flavors. Prices were very fair for the quality and volume of food served.

Cozy little restaurant in the main part of Franklin. They have a pretty diverse menu with a lot of different options. The food was fresh made, and tasted good. Service was very attentive.

The crab bisque.... chefs kiss... perfect texture with luscious creaminess and small lumps of crab, topped with fresh shaved parmesan. It was outstanding- the best Bisque I've ever had. It was so deply flavorful and en pointe!

Cute place I must recommend. From Acai bowls, fresh fruit and pastry, burritos, to a full breakfast with biscuits n gravy, eggs, sausage and belgian waffle! Friendly hispanic/latino run (seems like family, and fluent in english so no language barrier).

we have been going there for 7 + yrs. The last 4 times the food was not good. On 5/24/25. we had 5 ppl. 2 had shrimp/steak scampi. The steak had no flavor. The sandwiches 2 others had was bland. Other had livers, it was good but not excellent. Come on Caffe Rel please do better.

This was my late wife Wendy and my favorite place to eat, EVER!!!!! The food is unbelievably delicious and reasonably priced. We would change our route when going to Murphy or anywhere in the western NC area to dine there. Hope to get back one day soon!!!!’
We love Caffe Rel and eat there each time we visit Franklin. I have always said their crab bisque was the best anywhere. We were disappointed last night to find that everything we ordered including the soup eas over salted. We will go back and try again because this has always been so good.
