I usually don’t leave reviews, but this place was so outstanding that I felt I had to! Going out to eat with an 18 month old is no small feat. This place catered to small kids (and their parents) SO phenomenally well. Our daughter’s food was brought out first and SO quickly. They gave all of the small kiddos a balloon and coloring sheet with markers to help keep them busy. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable and we left feeling so well taken care of. The restaurant was clean and bright. I seriously cannot say enough good things about it. We’ll be back FOR SURE.

My husband has been here before with family, and brought me here for the first time since he knows I love breakfast spots. Service was quick (maybe a 7min wait) with 3 parties ahead of us. Sandee was our server and was very attentive. She gave us great recommendations, and suggested some of her favorite dishes. Although she was busy, she came around multiple times to check up on us. They have an amazing selection of food on the menu and was hard to choose. We ended up getting creme brulee french toast with a side of house potatoes, the Turkey club sandwich and seasonal bread pudding french toast, plus a couple cocktails (I know, a lot of food for 2 people, don't judge me :c ) Food was so good, I forgot to take more photos when the rest of the food came out. As for parking, it's a small lot but they do have complimentary valet (so take your cash for tip, don't be cheap) , but if you rather park yourself there's street parking on the side. Can't wait to come again!

A very nice place for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Food was abundant, tasty, and well-presented. I liked that they use cloth napkins, serve the cream in little pitchers, and the whipped butter and jelly in little metal ramekins- much nicer than everything in plastic. The place was bright, clean, and modern. The parking lot is a little small, but you can also park on adjacent side streets.

The Sweet Cafe is : from the moment I walked in, the warm and cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. The service was friendly and attentive, making it clear that they really care about their guests. Now, let’s talk about the food—simply amazing! I ordered their signature breakfast platter, and it exceeded all expectations. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the bacon crispy, and the hash browns were golden and flavorful. What really stood out, though, were the freshly made pancakes—light, fluffy, and served with a generous drizzle of syrup. Every bite was Overall, The Sweet Cafe is a must-visit if you’re in the area. Whether you’re a breakfast aficionado or just looking for a comforting start to your day, this place has you covered with delicious food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!

What a wonderful first experience! Ashlee was attentive, friendly and (since it was our first time visiting) informative. We arrived at 2:30p and were honestly expecting to be turned away. However, the friendly man at the counter welcomed us in warmly and reassured us that we should relax and enjoy our meal. And what an awesome meal it was! Fresh and served piping hot. The bread pudding french toast was the perfect combination of crisp yet moist. The side of ham "off the bone" was generous and not overly salted. The glassed atrium was bright, clean and provided a comfortable warm place to enjoy our meal. So happy we stopped in! Will definitely be back to try the other inviting menu offerings!
