Wonderful family owned place. If you want a real home cooked meal away from home this is the place. Everything is made with Love. Great food, fresh, and made just for you. This is a real local gem !!!!
Excellent service and delicious food! Very enjoyable experience.
They have the nicest wait staff. Every time. Food is great. The place is small so expect a bit of a wait during peak times like weekend mornings. Worth it tho.
Cliff Cafe is primarily a breakfast place that closes up in the early afternoon. It has a fairly modest menu with many of the breakfast staples, several of which having their own unique twist. Today we had Hannah Banana cakes with sides of bacon and hash browns. I had a Date smoothie. Everything was fantastic - the cakes are a unique spin on pancakes using whole wheat and honey based batter. They are definitely more hearty than the average pancake. These also had bananas baked into them - yum! The hash browns were perfect, though they came unseasoned, and the bacon was that balance of chewy and crisp that only an experienced chef can manage. The Date smoothie was a blend of peanut butter, bananas, dates, and soy milk. Delicious! Price-wise, Cliff Cafe is a little more than the average breakfast shop but well worth it. Seating is a bit limited, even more so now with COVID-19 precautions. However, this place is a definite recommend.
This is a delightful little restaurant. Whenever I wake up early enough to get brunch, they're my first choice. The food is outstanding and the staff are super friendly and chill. My only gripe is that it's cash only, and the nearest ATM (to my knowledge) is in the liquor store across the street, but the food more than makes up for it. The Veggie Minus Omelette is my go-to order here, I highly recommend it.
