I really want to like Valley Cafe. Really. They're a local, owner-operated small business. They serve breakfast until 1 or 2pm on the weekends. They accept credit cards, and they have a really great selection of menu items. But sadly, that's where the positives end. After visiting multiple times, I can now firmly say that the breakfast is completely mediocre, as is some of the service. I've gotten a handful of different breakfast meals, all of them sub-par to just OK. A single pancake order came out the size of a manhole cover, and i could barely make it through 1/4 of it. Not because of the size, but because it was possibly the worst tasting/textured pancake I've ever been served. And am I wrong, or is it really difficult to screw up a pancake? All in all, in a pinch, Valley Cafe is OK, but if you have the option to go elsewhere, even if a little bit out of the way, do it, because your experience will be 10 times better.
Review Source:Your average breakfast place. They ave the best toast ever, I believe it is homemade there. They have a great menu and usually have specials on the weekend, which always look great.
Only slight down side is I think it's a little pricey. Not  a lot, but a little.
Overall, it's a good place. Luckily I live right down the street ;-)
Had breakfast here with a friend here for the first time, great food and friendly waitress, quick delivery of our meal, no wait to be seated, what more could you ask?! I had the basic scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, coffee, and raisin toast - that raisin bread sealed the deal! It was thick and chewy, the best I have ever had. the coffee was brewed fresh and always refilled promptly. Â My friend loved her breakfast hash, it was a great breakfast experience I hope to repeat.
Review Source:When I go to a breakfast place - I automatically assume that it will be a badly lit, dirty joint with grumpy waitresses and greasy every thing. The valley cafe is everything that you don't expect from a hometown breakfast place. The decor was quite lovely. The lightwood chairs were high quality, clean, and really comfortable. The photos on the walls are all by local artists - and they are AMAZING. The photos are for sale, too!
The waitstaff were total pros - our coffee never even reached half-empty before someone was there to refresh it, but they weren't overbearing either. When they came to the table, they were pleasant and helpful, but they didn't stand there chat needlessly.
Now for the food - my homefries were incredible. They were nice and crispy, the portion wasn't too large or small, and they were seasoned with more than just pepper and paprika. Excellent. I think that the best part of my meal, oddly enough, was the toast. The cafe is just two store-fronts down from The Daily Bread, so I'm fairly certain they get their bread from their neighbors. It tasted like it was baked just a few hours earlier, it was perfectly toasted, AND they had peanut butter for the toast. That counts for double bonus points in my book.
Good breakfast. Cute place. Great service. What could there possibly be to complain about?
I have breakfast here every Saturday morning. The omelets are superb, whether made with eggs or egg beaters. Veggie omelets are chock full of fresh vegetables. The bacon is crisp and the portions are generous. They make homemade baked beans which are to die for. The breads are always fresh. You can look forward to thick slices of sour dough, light rye, wheat, or raisin bread. My friend always orders the waffles with whip cream and strawberries, piled about 6 inches high. If you order the pancakes (we call them the mancakes) I doubt if you can finish them. The coffee is superb, and they always have fresh fruit. I can't say I've ever had a less than excellent experience at the Valley View Cafe.
Review Source:I've gone here a handful of times this past year and I really tried to like this place but the bottom line here is that the food is just not very good. No, I haven't tried anything from the breakfast side of the menu, which I have only heard is very nice.
I've had two different kinds of paninis here and both were not great. The turkey meat they used in one of the sandwiches was basically inedible. The soups are fine but not fantastic. Weirdly enough the best food in this joint are the pickles. I really should figure out what kind they are.
The upside is the waitresses are super friendly, almost to the point where I feel a little bad giving this place such a low review. Also the art on the wall all seem to be all from local artists and photographers which is quite admirable.
Just like the first reviewer, my friends and I stumbled across this place by accident and were more than happily surprised with not only the service but more importantly the food. Â Everything is made in house including muffins, soup, and the salads. Â The waitress said that the paninis are what they are known for in terms of lunch, so the majority of us ordered those. Â The nice surprise came with the home cooked turkey (instead of lunch meat), even if it meant that there were some bones to be picked out along the way.
The fries were very good, and they also have an option of sweet potato fries (not listed on the menu). Â
With a cute diner feel and some yummy food, this place is definitely a surprise find.
We took a chance on this place after bowling at Spare Time down the street. Â I had grilled cheese, which had way too much cheese but was saved by the very tasty homemade bread. Â Fries were nice and crispy. Â They serve breakfast all day, and the others in my party had French toast and blueberry pancakes. Â The service was very friendly. Â For a basic breakfast/burger place, it was quite good. Â The many varieties of homemade bread gave it an extra star in my book.
