“No recommendations to this place just googled and saw that there was a new place that I hadn’t been able to yet. I typically wake up in the morning /weekends my bf and I love trying new cafes and diners we’re always trying to explore new places.. I happen to see this location and was excited to try. Since I’ve never been yet . TBH, this place is on my top 3 ! waitress name it was Ashely and let me tell you , she pushed the reasons why I’d choose this 1st option on a random day when I can’t think of anything else this would be it. she was the sweetest girl, so helpful used endearing words to address me knows the menu really well presents all orders really well very kind fast efficient , I loved her energy . We need more of these kind people. (It starts with us ) will be back not only because of the food and the environment, but especially because of this girl, thank you Ashely for helping start our day with the happy positive, I also the girls in the front are also very sweet. And funny. bussers very quick and friendly? They even put a whole pitcher of crisp purified water on the table my bf is big on that . Oh and she brought me lemons for the water !! So 👌🏼 🍋 everything Ashley knew to do for guests was so on point , even the bacon she asked “crispy or soft”? And Coffee so good, I took it to go . ☕️✨”
“The best French toast I've ever tasted. You need to try them. My husband ate chicken and avocado salad. As delicious as the first time.”
“I got the la Mexicana omelette with hashbrowns and caramel apple pie pancakes. To drink I had an iced mocha. Everything was delicious and filling. My friend got the berry feast crepes and they said it was delicious”
“Deserve every star Super clean .. excellent quality-Bacon is unique and tasty.. Keep up the great work Best in town”
“I have gone to Sweet Café a few times since they opened not that long ago, and every time the servers, hosts, and staff as a whole are all so kind and attentive. The atmosphere is great too! The food is also incredible, it is never super greasy and everything I have tried is amazing including the breakfast sandwich and the cinnamon icing french toast. Also, the iced lattes are very sweet and delicious. Favorite breakfast spot!”
“Nice breakfast spot with a good menu and great service (especially Lianna!). The South of the Border Benedict was delicious and I love when I can choose how crispy I like my hash browns. And kudos for the perfectly poached eggs!”
“Careful when you walk in here for twice tips. The Manager said: *IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL* without sorry.”
“Generally a bit loud, but the food makes up for it. Potatoes are the winners. You're not going to be let down here. More expensive than you'd expect just so you're aware”
