Janet’s Cafe is a cozy little spot that serves up some seriously delicious meals. With a menu that boasts of homely dishes like homemade soups, hearty sandwiches, and scrumptious pies, it truly feels like you’re dining in the comfort of your own kitchen. The portions are generous and the quality of the food is top-notch. Their house-made sauces and dressings add an extra kick of flavor to every bite. But what really sets Janet’s Cafe apart is their warm and friendly service. The staff greets you with a smile and makes you feel right at home. It’s no wonder this charming cafe has become a popular local favorite for those seeking tasty, homemade food in a welcoming atmosphere.I ordered the turkey avocado to go for my wife’s lunch. She enjoyed it very much.

Food was great. Didn’t taste fake. The decaf coffee was sooooo good best I’ve had. Portions are great for the price. A little small/tight fit but very cozy feeling.

This is a really great place to get breakfast. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is good and portions are reasonable. Drawback is the place is small and when they get busy it can take a while to get seated. They move quickly without rushing you so it’s not a big deal.

Every visit has been great. I wish they stayed open for dinner rather than just for breakfast and lunch! The cooks prepare your food exactly like you order it! The prices are reasonable for the portion size. It is possible to make 2 meals out of everything. If you’re watching your waistline, ask for a takeout container after you’ve received your food. Put half immediately into the take out container, and eat the rest.

Lovely diner environment! I had breakfast early in the morning and it was such a nice mellow environment with elderly men eating breakfast, made me feel like I was in small isolated town since the staff and guest knew each other and were pretty friendly.

Another overpriced, poor quality restraunt. I don’t expect home cooking anymore, restraunts just don’t do that these days. But could it at least have some flavor and be a step above slop?
