Great Cheeky French Toast (chocolatey and crispy), they made my scrambled eggs to order - egg whites only! Bacon was cooked well too.

Good location, great food and promote service. A Southern exposure that lets sunlight in for a great atmosphere.

Came to Cheeky Cafe for Saturday brunch with my partner and were seated immediately - always a good start.
The space has high ceilings and a casual, slightly unpolished feel that actually works really well with the food. There's a big chalkboard menu at the counter, but they'll also hand you a paper menu, which I appreciated.
Between the two of us, we tried a lot: the loco moco meatloaf, carbonara, a slice of French toast, and the cinnamon fry bread. The carbonara was solid and comforting - a classic execution, nothing fancy. The loco moco meatloaf was fine on its own, but the curry-forward, Asian-influenced sauce is what made it shine.
The absolute standout, though, was the cinnamon fry bread. If you grew up on Asian fry bread, this will take you straight back. It genuinely made me happy, and I'd come back just for that alone.
Our waitress was sweet, attentive, and friendly throughout.
A great brunch spot with soul - and that fry bread is reason enough to return.

Loved the traditional French toast and my bf got the carbonara pasta—was all so good!
Broke my spam virginity here! Was amazing. Fast service and great food that was reasonably priced.

Honestly had high expectations coming in.. I wanted to love this cafe sooo badly… but I didn’t have a great experience. 1. Came in, place was full & put myself on the waiting list - waited about 10 - 12 mins or so. 2. When the bussed my table, IT SMELT BAD! Definitely don’t think they’re changing their sani buckets often with hot water/bleach because it smelt TERRIBLE - made me nauseous. 3. After placing my order it then took another 30 mins, just to get pancakes/frenchtoast.. 4. Their cheeky frenchtoast filling felt lacking.. barely any berries, no cream, and outside just felt burnt. Could’ve used some whip - that would’ve made it better. 5. Lastly, there was a hair in our chicken sausage.. that made me lose my appetite so I didn’t even eat my French toast and left hangry.. I kept looking at the two chefs in the back who only had a bandana instead of a hairnet… YIKES.
Oh also, when I got coffee, there was only brown sugar and I notice across someone had a whole variety.. when asking for sugar, the waiter said “oh, brown sugar doesn’t work for you?” And I felt like asking for Splenda was just too much for them..
Hot take, I rather wait later then have a fast, great, kind service.. versus just trying to get everyone in seats quickly and then have rude, rushed, poor quality, yet slow to receive food service.

Not sure how they got a positive food inspection rating. They don’t use hair netting in the back to prep food. Just pulled out a long hair out of my hash browns.

Good food. Expect some wait on weekends. I got the French toast with eggs and bacon. Also, I had some carbonara and chicken patty. It was all delicious, I would love to come back in the future and try different items.
