There wasn’t too many customers, mostly elderly people. The people who take your orders are really friendly. I ordered the shrimps and grits, it looked great and smelled great but it taste bland. They gave me more seasoning in a small cup and that helped but I ended up getting a shrimp shell in my food, I didn’t let anyone know because I already felt like I bothered them enough. This is a nice place to go when you want breakfast!

Stopped by with a group for a quick breakfast. We ordered biscuits which were tasty, soft, and delicious. Prices were decent. The options include sausage, ham, bacon, fried chicken, egg, and cheese. They also sell other delicious breakfast and non breakfast items. The server/staff member was friendly and helpful and the service was fast (given we were in a bit of a rush). Street parking available near the cafe.

My family and I just moved to the area and we were looking for a great breakfast place. This place blew us out of the water! The food was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. Service was great and staff was very friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere is a quiet enjoyable family moment. This is one of the best breakfast places we’ve been to in a long time. We will definitely be back and become frequent flyers.

This was one of the best diners I’ve been to in a long time. The waiters were so sweet, the food came out in a timely manner, and there was a lively energy throughout. All the food was so hearty and delicious, not greasy and had amazing flavors, as well as being very affordable. A perfect southern breakfast, I would definitely come again.

Reserved in advance for a family reunion and memorial breakfast for our youngest Son, a USMC Veteran who we lost a year ago. Fortunately I called early this morning just before everyone was due to arrive. I was blamed for reserving the wrong date. In fact, I made the reservation for the only day everyone could attend and immediately noted in my mobile phone calendar. What they actually wrote down and then double-booked was the problem. Their careless oversight. I went there in person several weeks earlier to inquire about reserving for this important occasion and spoke to them twice since then to confirm. Suddenly on the morning of, there was a calendar issue.Their offer to re-schedule us after the other group finished their breakfast was more of an insult than a “fix.” It was clearly on my calendar but they just decided to blame me. Extremely thoughtless and careless on the part of Colonial Cafe. They casually blew us off like we weren’t worth a second thought. Awful attitude for a local business. We have been going there under two ownerships over the past eight years, but no more.

This is my 2nd time here and I got the same thing minus grits(grits had no taste). I waited to give a 2nd chance before I left a review. I got scramble eggs with cheese, home fries and pancakes. The pancakes are amazing(4 star amazing). The home fries was ok but its like they always give last bit of greasy ones left over in the pan with the crumbs. Eggs was ok, could be better. I recommend the pancakes. Staff is friendly.

My family and I ventured out for breakfast one morning during our brief stay in Elizabeth City. There aren’t many options in the small town, but we did eventually find Colonial Cafe, a very traditional breakfast and lunch cafe. The breakfast menu is full of omelets, biscuit sandwiches, pancakes, and plenty of bigger platters.

The food was delicious!! Everything was well seasoned, and it was decorated with pictures of Elizabeth city looked years ago. The entire staff was friendly and checked in on us as we enjoyed our meal. I can tell a lot of locals came here because a woman who seemed to be the manager or owner called a few folks by name.

Came here for breakfast with my family. We’re on vacation. And this place was absolutely lovely. Quick and friendly service. The food was fantastic! And the prices aren’t bad either. Definitely plan on going back before leaving Elizabeth City!!
