"Starting with the cleanliness: as soon as you walk in, you're greeted by an odor that can only be described as a mix of stale grease and mildew. They would benefit from closing for a day to drain everything, scrub down every corner of the restaurant, and clean all the appliances to restore it to a basic level of cleanliness. As for the aesthetic: the exterior looks like it hasn’t changed in 30 years, while the interior is a gloomy blend of browns. They do have some charming coffee-themed artwork on the walls that could be integrated into a more modern design, but overall, a significant redesign is needed. Regarding the menu: there’s a common belief that restaurants with over 100 menu items often don’t excel at any of them, while those with fewer than 20 tend to shine. My chilaquiles verdes with chorizo were overly simplistic. Instead of the base of tortilla chips providing a satisfying crunch, they were soggy from the excess juices of the chorizo and salsa verde, leading to a homogenous texture and flavor that was... lackluster. My wife’s avocado benedict suffered the same fate of being bland and one-dimensional. Instead of the anticipated crispy yet chewy English muffin complemented by a tangy hollandaise, everything blended into a singular, unremarkable taste. On a positive note, the servers were courteous and attentive, which was the only highlight of our visit. Overall, it seems Garden Berry Cafe has a long way to go to enhance the dining experience."

The potato pancakes were excellent, served with a side of applesauce. Pairing it with a berry tea made for a delightful summer breakfast on the patio.

Had brunch here and it was terrific. I had the waffles with peaches and my mom had the strawberry crepes. We also had a side order of corned beef hash. It was all delicious and really reasonable. Great service and everything came out warm and timely. Worth a visit for sure.

Food was good but I think what standard out to us the most was the service. Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. It wasn’t just our waitress that was asking us if we were good and if we needed anything but anyone that walked by. Also the wait time for a table wasn’t bad either. View menu

My friend and I decided to stop by this restaurant while we were in the area, and I'm so glad we did! The food was delicious, and the pancakes were soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. The staff was also very friendly, and they were able to seat us within 15 minutes despite it being a busy morning. I highly recommend this place! I can't wait to return and try more of their dishes.

This time wasn't so great. It took forever to get utensils. The food seemed to be burned,, breakfast sausages. The food server forgot the syrup, I had to go to the cashier and ask for it. The waiter rarely checked on us. There was even a child of about 10yrs old, seating us, really strange. Very hectic day over there. But I will come back. I recommend at least give it a try. This was our second time here. The first time, before, was very impressive.

This is a lovely restaurant that currently offers outdoor seating. It may appear somewhat misleading from the street, but we’re glad we decided to give it a chance. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was excellent, particularly the chilaquiles with steak and the South of the Border omelette. I really enjoyed the smooth coffee. The churro wafer was delightful, capturing the authentic churro flavor, and it was served with ice cream. We look forward to trying more dishes in the future. View menu

There are a lot of breakfast places nearby so it took me a while to finally make it a touch West on 45 to get over to Garden Berry; I should not have waited so long. It did not disappoint. The food is really good, your traditional American breakfast spot. It is very fairly priced, especially considering some of the competition. One of the coolest things about the place is that normally with pre-fix breakfast items you get your choice of toast or bagel, maybe pancakes. Here, you can have anything you want (no up-charge). Pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, toast, whatever you want! I don’t think I have ever seen that at another breakfast place before. It took me a long time to get here t...
