Just had Valentine's breakfast at the cafe. It is small and intimate with a friendly owner and staff. We had frittatas and they were done perfectly. read more

5 stars from a party of four. This place is great, great food nice atmosphere. We'll be back tomorrow!

Yesterday my cousin and I had a delicious lunch at Cafe Christo. We both ordered the special, Baked Scallops, and it was delicious! It came with a choice of soup or salad. I had the salad with their homemade Italian dressing and my cousin had soup. Really good food and a very good value as this Scallop special was only $8.99. The owner came by to chat and it was surprising how many people we knew in common from both Springfield and Longmeadow. Very nice lunch experience! I'll definitely be back for lunch the next time I visit my relatives in Springfield, Massachusetts. read more

Diner is offered Thursday and Friday nights. We went on Thursday. I ordered seafood scampi which was delicious. My companion ordered chicken caprese and loved it. Service was very good. The owner takes personal interest in his guests. read more

I'm not a picky eater. That said, my wife ordered eggs benedict with hash. It came with ham instead. We had the ham replaced with hash. The hash tasted like it came straight from a can. I ordered 2 pieces of French toast and 2 eggs over hard. I got 3 pieces of French toast, and eggs over easy. Also I was charged for 3 pieces of French toast, not 2. Hope to never go there again read more

Went to breakfast with my Springfield College student son for Easter. The food was great (homemade corned beef hash, clearly freshly made home fries), the food was tasty, everyone was friendly! The restaurant is clean, the food was awesome, the service was exceptional! Good luck on your new venture, Chris! read more

Had a nice Father's day breakfast here at Cafe Cristo. We went to our old stand-by breakfast joint but there was a line out the door. So we plugged into Yelp and found this gem in the rough. The "X" may not be the night go to spot but for breakfast and lunch you need to try this place. Chris the owner is a long time restauranteur in the Springfield area and decided to come back to where he grew-up. I asked about the "closed" photo and he replied that the Inspectors came by and didn't like some of the paperwork so he was closed for a week. He assured there was no industrial accident. Don't let that photo stop you. The breakfast was all cooked fresh to order and came to our table piping hot. The decor is welcoming with lots of room. BLUF; this will be our new breakfast "go-to". Check it out. read more

Great food, great staff. We come here all the time - with or without our kids (who are greeted and welcomed every time). Corned beef hash is good, as are the omelettes. Sandwiches for lunch are also great - we've had paninis, the cuban, the club, etc. All solid. I'm really glad this place is here. Its a great local option. Thanks! read more

A warm and cozy place with great good and friendly service! We highly recommended it.

Will not return. Dinner Friday night was awful. Overcooked, left over pasta served as putanesca. Husband's fish dinner was awful as well. Told our server how disappointed we were. No response. Very expensive and not worth it. read more

We go there frequently, have been going for years, and have always found the food delicious and the service friendly. We usually go for breakfast or lunch, but have started to go for dinners. It is a warm and cozy place with great food, read more

I was with my friend and it was that odd hour of the day, to late for breakfast, to early for lunch. We didn't know where to go to eat and having just moved to the area I wanted to try this adorable looking non chain. We walked in and it seemed very clean, the server was very friendly, we did have some questions that she couldn't answer, but she was quick to get an answer and the owner even came over to answer one of our questions. We started out with baked french onion soup - it was one of the best I've ever had. We opted to share eggs benedict. They came out and looked spectacular, the home fries equally as good. The hollandaise sauce was one of the best I've ever tasted and I was told it was made in house. So at this time you might ask why a 2 start rating???? The poached eggs were over done that was something we could have lived with had the english muffins not been burnt - we are talking burnt black, so hard you could not even cut them with a knife. We mentioned it to the server and it was moments after the server had delivered our food. She explained she would got talk to the owner, who she said had cooked our meal. We honestly were expecting her to come back with a new english muffin she did not. She then came and cleared our plates and then we thought well maybe the items was being discounted off, it was not. So we asked what the owner had said and she said " Well umm he said ahhhh" well being well seasoned in the industry we knew what the owner said. Basically he must have said something like #$%@ them. It was very disappointing that over a english muffin that looked like a hockey puck, that could have easily been replaced or even better should have never been placed on the plate, we will not be going her again. I was so excited as I though this was going to be my go to place, my place to meet friends for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert ect ect.. As I've met people in my neighborhood and I ask for good places to go and eat, they are quick to say to avoid this place. Again which is upsetting because the place is adorable and it is a easy location to get to and has parking. read more

The first time I tried to go here it was shut down and there was a letter on the door thatbasically seemed to imply they were shut down because of employing illegal immigrants which I thought was very odd. I went back a couple months later when they reopened and I was not impressed. I went with my mom for lunch and ordered the Greek salad (simple enough) They gave me a plate of lettuce with some boiled carrot pieces, onions, green peppers. IT MADE NO SENSE TO CALL IT A GREEK SALAD. Greek salad is easy... feta, black olives, pepperoncini, red onion, tomatos, a nice dressing on the side. give me a FREAKING break. how are you employed in a kitchen and you can't even make a salad that makes sense. Their menu was just a mess as well. It was laughable at best. I was so surprised to see they are getting decent reviews but i will not be going back to see if they have improved. It seems to me the people running this place do not know anything about food. read more
