The desserts are out of this world. Slices are huge and very fresh. We had the chocolate salted caramel & Boston cream. The chocolate salted caramel was declared the best cake ever by my husband.

It is a staple in Raleigh! Their wedge salad is second to none. Consistently good supplementing their menu with great specials. Always save for dessert with a variety of specialty cakes. Reservations advised or you may have to wait. Parking around neighborhood can be challenging. Highly

Stopped in for lunch. Food was delicious service was nonexistent. Even though it clearly said please tip your servers. Tipped them $10 in advance in a $35 tap. I always overtip. But it was annoying because couldn't get anyone's attention.

One of our favorite local spots. The staff couldn't be friendlier even in the busiest situations. The food is great and offers a fun variety. We will continue to visit often.

I had a wonderful experience at Hayes Barton Cafe & Dessert. The food portions were generous, and I was particularly impressed with the Meatloaf and Chicken Pot dishes – they were amazing! The host, Frank (possible owner), was very personable and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the 40's theme of the restaurant, and it was touching to see how they honored my father, a Vietnam veteran. It's a place with great food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Our waitress was completely unhelpful and unkind. She acted like she couldn’t care less about us. The food was just ok. Nothing remarkable. Victory has defeated this place.

Such a cute establishment! Don’t be like me who accidentally walked into the pharmacy at the very front. Walk around a little and you’ll see a door covered in stickers with well deserved accolades. Their food is hometown delicious and their staff were prompt and friendly with service. The cakes slices were HUGE. A single slice is pricy but I can eat off it for two meals, easily. 10/10 would recommend a pit stop if you’re in the area or would like a slice of cake!

So much to compliment ...The atmosphere hits you when you walk in ... A classic soda fountain vibe takes you back in time. You can't get too far inside without the cakes grabbing your attention (which are amazing).The dishes all have such cool and unique names, and the food is even better. Who knew meatloaf could be so good?!?Service was great too, with everyone we talked to was nice and willing to answer any questions.We'll definitely be back to try something new. Both entrée and dessert!
