I’ve eaten here for years and it’s my favorite breakfast spot. Today my guy ate with me, first time and he was really impressed! He absolutely loved his breakfast omelet burrito in sausage gravy. I opted for the build your own omelet w avocado instead of toast. Eric in the kitchen did a phenomenal job. Elijah was our server and he was so polite and helpful.

Today was my first time here and I have to say it was not a let down. The service was very good. The ladies up front were very helpful. The menu is exciting and has specials. My wife has been a patron here for 20 years. She loves it. When we got our food it was delicious! It’s very nice inside too. Local art covers the walls and it can be purchase. Support the locals!! They have outdoor seating as well. I am very eager to have breakfast here too. I would have posted a 5 star review if it was a little cleaner. There was some tables dirty from previous patrons and I didn’t notice the ladies making it a priority to get them clean for other customers. Not a big deal tho. I review a lot of places and a few dirty tables don’t deter me. It kinda reflects on management. When we left, they were still dirty. I honestly highly recommend this place. I can wait to go back. Coffee is amazing too!!

Great place to eat. Never had anything that wasn’t delicious. The people are so nice and the service is excellent! If you eat inside, be sure to bring a sweater/jacket.

Staff is unorganized and orders are slow to roll out. I ordered pasta salad and they flat out told me they would not make anymore. I was offered a refund but was ignored when I approached the register.

A excellent local business that offers great, wholesome food, a wide variety of breakfast and lunch offers. On any particular visit you have the option of a tradition meal and some ‘build your own” options. Their coffee options are also very enjoyable. Service is great, too. You’ll really enjoy your time at Cafe Gouda

Usually cafe Gouda is fantastic but today was subpar! I order chicken quesadilla and the entire thing had 6, 1/2 inch pieces of chicken on the entire quesadilla, that looked like it was a month old and fried in microwave. Barely any beans or cheese. It was to go order so I didn’t realize how bad it was until I got home and opened box. The food was uneatable as chicken was chewy and horrible flavor. Had to throw $13 in the trash. Thankfully the soup was good. . Do better!!

The younger girls working don’t know how to tell time or give correct information about food being prepared. Honestly the only reason I don’t go to cafe Gouda anymore. Too big of a hazzle to deal with children and no adults work around register. Took a hour to get my food after driving 20 mins and walking in multiple times being told 10 more mins each time
