What an adorable diner!! Very quaint .... but BUSY!!. We were heading back to IN after a concert and overnight stay at the casino. We decided on a local eatery instead of eating at the hotel for breakfast. We were first invited in by a cute blonde woman checking people in for the 15 minute wait. The 2 waitresses were very busy in the very small prep area in front of the kitchen window. The hand painted floral wall was very inviting and uplifting. We were both very excited to get our breakfast as everything boasts "homemade". I ordered the quiche. Today was feta and spinach. With sour dough toast. Very good but was too salty for my taste. I thought maybe because of the cheese. My husband ordered the full biscuits and gravy. It looked thick with big chunks of sausage. He said it was okay but the biscuits tasted burned. I had some with my toast and again seemed salty to me. Maybe just my taste. I would come here again if in the area. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming.

A darling restaurant in a darling little downtown area in Three Oaks, Michigan. If you are looking for a day trip from Chicago, come check out this cute downtown and have some delicious food at Viola Cafe. I loved everything about this place. Quaint, old-school charming- with a definite Michigan feel. Don’t miss this cute little breakfast spot!

Food: 5/5 (the chef is amazing!) Service: 5/5 (very kind and accommodating staff! Atmosphere: 5/5 (very homie, comfortable atmosphere!) Viola Cafe has easily stepped into my favorite restaurant in Southwest Michigan! Located in Three Oaks, Michigan, Viola is a cafe that doesn't disappoint the appetite, wallet, or vibe. This restaurant is for all facets of occasions; it is great for meetings, conversations, dates, and casual dates. I enjoyed this restaurant, and the love here is evident. The food was a homerun! I enjoyed the Salmon Benny, Omlete, tea, and Quiche. All of the first bites hit home for me. The Hollandaise Sauce was very good, and the sauce was not broken. The chef did their thing in the kitchen! The service was absolutely incredible! We were greeted with compassion and treated like great customers. I appreciated my cup of water being filled frequently, I enjoyed the staff going over the menu with patience, and I love the hospitality. Very accommodating staff! The atmosphere was so cozy! I love the picture perfect setting of the restaurant, the great conversations, the neatness of the restaurant, and how the restaurant catered to all walks and ages of life. The vibe was amazing! Viola Cafe did not dissatisfy, disappoint, or discourage. I enjoyed every part of this restaurant and love the prices for the meals. If you're in Michigan, that yourself to a lovely taste of Viola Cafe!

Wonderful little cafe. Stopped in on a slow weekday. Bring an appetite. I ordered the full biscuits and gravy. I think there were five biscuits under the half gallon of gravy they give you. Food was delicious. Service was fantastic too.

We had an excellent Sunday brunch after kayaking in New Buffalo. Great & friendly service... And the food was solid. Sizable portions, colorful dishes, and very fresh flavors. Also, very reasonably priced menu. Will def. return to Viola Cafe next season....

In today’s frenzied world it's places like Viola Cafe that echo the spirit of simpler times. A resplendent oasis of gastronomic delight, this establishment calls out to those who seek both sustenance and serenity in the midst of modern chaos. One steps into Viola Cafe and is immediately transported into the very essence of a quintessential hometown cafe. Its atmosphere, steeped in authenticity, offers a reprieve from the relentless pace of the world outside. There’s a certain magic in the air - perhaps it’s the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the clinking of silverware, or the soft hum of conversations that reflect the tapestry of life. The dawn's early light finds it as the perfect breakfast spot, where plates generously laden with culinary wonders promise a day started on a robust note. From fluffy pancakes to perfectly-cooked eggs, the quality of the food not only satiates hunger but warms the heart. Beyond the food, it’s the people of Viola Cafe that truly stand out. Their service, impeccable. The staff, a collective embodiment of hospitality, navigate the floor with genuine smiles and an eagerness to ensure that every patron feels like they're coming home. Viola Cafe reminds us that in every town there are places that hold the fabric of our communities together. And that's the way it is.
