Hear from our valued guests
Walked in and immediately overwhelmed with the smell of breakfast. Amazing eggs, sausage, toast, for like $12. I ordered, waited outside for what seemed like 5 minutes. Food was brought out to me. Great service. Great food. Highly recommend.
Nice place to grab lunch! My favorite is the green salad with a scoop of chicken salad or turkey salad. Always delicious, great quick service and a relaxed atmosphere to people watch. I highly recommend!
We come here when we're too lazy to make our own breakfast and I enjoy the walk outside. There are more trendy brunch / food options in the area, but this place is more homey. No frills, just your basic cafe options and waffles with a surprising amount of fruit on them.
Amazing place! Do the best for serving, a lot of healthy option vegetarian, great coffee, great selection dessert, Menlo cafe is a family - friendly best for the best start to finish, accommodating staff is caring!! Food 4 | Service 4| Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dish: panini, spinach salad....
Grabbing a quick bite I had to stop by my favorite breakfast/lunch place. I have to say it hit the spot! The chicken was juicy and just enough pesto and cheese. Let’s talk about the presentation on the caesar salad it looked so pretty I didn’t want to mess it up. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Thank you Menlo Cafe! See you soon
This is a simple small town Cafe. The service is polite and adequate. The food is delicious. Very nice place to have in town for breakfast or lunch. I have tried the tenderloin sandwich- an Iowa standard . It was crispy tender and delicious. Also the chicken tenders. I chose tater tots as my side. Fresh generous portion and also delicious.
A nice small cafe. The food and the coffee was perfect. There are a lot of breakfast options.
This is a fantastic spot. Menlo Cafe truly is a hidden treasure. The prices are incredibly reasonable, the food is top-notch, and it’s served very quickly. I always order the tuna melt whenever I visit, and it’s consistently amazing.
I ordered a Greek salad. It tasted very fresh, just the right portion. It was a little overdressed so you might want to request lighter dressing. It even came with a bag of chips! The server was super nice.
i got a veggie melt panini - and it was one of the best sandwiches i’ve had - it’s locally owned! if in the bay- must try!! 5 stars for food and service 😋🤩
