Born and raised in the CV, I wish I would’ve found this cozy place sooner. Service was great and the food was better. Best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had.

The staff was super friendly and the breakfast burrito was very tasty. If you are looking for a locally owned, quiet, and quaint breakfast spot, I would recommend adding Karen’s to your morning routine.

When was the last time someone called you Honey Bunny? Not sure? Well then when was the last time you visited Karen’s Cafe? That’s the level of service you can expect, so you don’t forget some bunny loves you. We had the Traditional Breakfast with the Homestyle Potatoes and grilled onions, yum!
