A group of six guys went to lunch. We decided to go here. It was great! Now to the review, When we walked in, we were met by one of the staff who immediately sensed our dismay at there being no table for six. Being a big man, he lifted a table in to position and placed the appropriate number of chairs around. It only got better from there. Menus from this young man. A young woman, who looked about thirty showed up and I introduced myself. "I'm Kate", she responded. Drinks? Three Diet Cokes, two waters and a beer (a local IPA from Ormond Garage). She promptly remembered all our names and we got down to looking over the menu. When she came back, we ordered from all over the menu. schnitzel sandwich, "Tilt Burger" (don't ask), chicken fingers, turkey wrap, "Tilt Burger" (don't ask) and mine was the corned beef Benedict known as "The Irish". The food was on the table in a timely fashion. All except the two "Tilt Burgers" (you can ask now). The young man who seated us should have relieved the slight waitress and brought these to the table. The burgers looked too heavy to be lifted by such a slight young woman. Ham, cheese, BLT, large burger patty and an egg. All the meals were excellent, the service great and the fun as advertised. Kate allowed as how she five kids and two grandkids. She didn't look her age. To find that last fact out, you'll have to go. Five stars and more for a truly Florida experience, on the beaten track, but maybe not. They needed some Tabasco. read more

Had a great breakfast while on vacation! Breakfast menu was extensive. Many eggs Benedict dishes to choose from!! My Irish Benedict was delicious. Grits were also very good! The service was excellent... everybody there was extremely welcoming and nice. Ambiance was very cool... with bike week posters on the wall and a pinball room with lots of pinball machines! I highly recommend checking out Cafe One!!! read more

Definitely an eclectic but natural place to have breakfast, brunch or lunch. 30 plus pinball machines to entertain you while you wait. And you will wait, the aromas keep you tethered. Don't worry, it will be quick. The menu is deep with all southern breakfast items, great burgers and a good amount of entrees selections. Very good and friendly service. Good team work. I ordered the Stacker, too much and bringing some home. Great biscuits, good gravy. read more

We love this wonderful secret, shhhh! Don't tell anyone! Actually all the locals know. When you pull up to a place with police cars or fire engines (on break, of course)-you know you have come to the right place! Such a family feel!. Sassy, the waitress, is fabulous and all of her name! There is a room of pinball machines for entertainment. I heard they have a membership. But the best part is the delicious home cooking! Cooked exactly how you ask and with a kitchen full of gluten they have never made me sick. They know how to cook without cross contamination, but they can't promise. I can't get gluten free French toast hardly anywhere else! So good! Yum! The glutenous food looks delicious and my hubby and sisters affirm that it tastes as good as it looks! Don't miss this wonderful hideaway!! read more

Great food and great service. Plus pinball. :)). You cannot get a bad meal here. The biscuits are amazing.

Food was amazing but waited over an hour for breakfast in half empty restaurant... experience could have been different if our server would have let us know we would wait a hour or ask if we needed another drink... learn how to tell your tables it's gonna be a minute or your short staffed... was a joke of an experience read more

Very nice cafe! Everything was great - food, service and atmosphere. Servers were extremely friendly and welcoming, place was very clean, and food tasted great. I highly recommend you try this place if you haven't tried it yet. Looks like a lot of locals come here which is not surprising. I will definitely be back. read more

What a great location. They are breakfast and pinball. What more could you ask for while traveling. The Wait service was fast and attentive. Even came to me while I was playing a game let me know there's no rush but my food is up. The owner was here working when I visited. From what I understand he's pretty much there working every day. Where I was playing one of his games he asked me what I ordered and said he'd make it nice. He seemed happy that I was there pumping quarters as well as eating food. What was really funny, There's a video of him working on one of the machines and the pinball glass slides down and he catches it with his foot in the nic of time. The funny is part about this video is that it's been an ongoing fear that this would happen to me 1 day, and the day it does I'm now better equipped with my ninja glass catching skills. The food itself was great And it was a large portion. Just the fact that I can order a pinball omelet means I'll be back. read more

Great breakfast! I've wanted to go there for a couple years but I'm from Ocala. Decided to hit the beach and stop in for breakfast. It was well worth it. Loved the pinball machines! Staff was very nice. Thank you! read more

Another amazing meal at Cafe One. My visit was 11/25/23. Still amazing food and service! The place was packed Saturday around noon. We opted to sit outside where it was slightly drizzling but still had cover. I had O.G. Sandwich with sourdough bread and potatoes. So much food I took half the sandwich home. My mom had spinach and cheese omelette and swapped for fruit. The coffee still freaking wonderful as always. Sassy and her crew still the best around. I wished I lived closer. read more

When you think about classic diners, this is the exact place you think about. The menu has every item you would expect with a few surprises in my opinion like a sourdough French toast that I will be back for next time. Upon my first visit, I could tell this place is a staple for the people in the area. The servers knew the patrons by name and they all ordered by saying "I'll have my usual". Onto the food, it was extremely comforting. I got the stacker which is two eggs stacked on sausage Patties stacked on biscuits and gravy which is all on top of a bed of crispy has browns. The gravy is what stood out to me most on this dish. Very flavorful. My one think was the biscuits were a little undercooked for my liking. I found it to be a slight play dough feel in my mouth. Everything else though was great. Will be back to try more! read more

This is by far the absolute BEST breakfast spot (and lunch) in all of Ormond Beach. I have NEVER had a bad meal here. The staff is awesome from Sassy, Kate, and Bella to Carl. This place always makes you feel welcomed whether you are a regular or a new customer. Do yourself a favor and try them out! Ask them for the Ray special Cheeseburger omelet !! The ambiance is awesome with a great selection of pinball machines and jukebox ready for you to relive the 80's arcade days! read more

Nice little mom and pop place on us 1. When got there it was packed and you could tell there was a lot of regulars. Table across from me had mimosas. I ordered my usual breakfast and came out perfect. Eggs nice and hot and not broken. Marbled rye toast. My friend had the biscuits and gravy special. Gravy nice and thick over flaky biscuits crispy bacon and eggs scrambled exactly the way she liked them It is a good place for breakfast and lunch. Look for it along us 1 heading into Daytona. read more

Food is excellent with fast friendly service at a fair price. Wall art is very interesting, especially for the pin ball wizards.

Not my first review not my first time going there. We got there they had been overwhelmed and it took us two hours to have breakfast not for nothing bike week we expect that. They were definitely slammed. But the servers gave us great service and the food was delicious as usual despite the fact that they had been overwhelmed. We will continue to go there. They even recognize pinky read more

Our favorite breakfast place in the area. We love the Irish Benny but everything we've had is really good. Sometimes service is a problem but only because it is so popular. The waitresses are friendly and efficient. Trying the new dinner menu tonight. Will report back. Back after dinner. New staff for the dinner service and our waitress Brittany was wonderful. We were a little early for any dinner rush - I don't know if they get one - but there were only four tables seated and we all got friendly, attentive service from Brittany. I had the ribeye steak and it was very different- it came across as a different type of meat than steak, like stew meat or something. That said it was well spiced and cooked, and I ate it all up. The loaded baked potato was excellent- my favorite part of the meal (that's both good and bad, right?). My wife had a good ceasar salad with turkey, and we got out of there for $50, tax and tip included. Not sure if we will go back for dinner, but it's still our favorite for breakfast. read more

I live near by and came in for some breakfast. I tried coming before on a Monday but realized they are closed on SUNDAYS and MONDAYS. PROS: - servers are really kind - arcade room. Not sure if that's a good idea right now during covid. - quiet and nice atmosphere - tables were well spread out - lunch food looked good CONS: - they had a kid (a server's son) running the food to the tables. During this whole COVID thing I'd rather have a more responsible and aware adult delivering my food. He didn't have a mask on either when he brought me my food. - food was okay. I've had better breakfast but it for the job done. - breakfast selection left room for Desire - tables were cleaned with a rag they used at all the other tables too so proper sanitization between customers wasn't being practiced. read more

Love this breakfast spot. They have good food with a variety of choices. Including daily specials. The service is good, servers are friendly. Bonus- you can play pinball machines for a 1.00 each. It's entertaining before or after you eat. Sherry& Sassy will take good care of you. Every blue moon they prepare a Barbacoa omelette which is delicious. (Unsure if I spelt that meat right) just know I love to eat it. They also have a crab with scallions omelet I love. read more

Stopped for a nice lunch - owner (Sassy I think) was awesome and food was great. Put this one on your list if you are near here!

We have eaten breakfast here several times now and it has become a favorite. Very unassuming on the outside, small, but excellent food. It fills up quickly so we try to get there early. You can play pinball while you are waiting for a table! The waitresses are extremely polite. read more

Fantastic food. It doesn't look like much from the road but the food is amazing. I had the chicken and waffles, and they were the best I've had, EVER. It was like a Belgium style waffle not a Belgium waffle. I've been to Belgium, they aren't like the ones at Denny's. This was an honest Belgium style, which is more like a desert, so tasty. Everyone else at our table was raving about the food also. Highly recommended.c I hope to go back but it's not close for me. read more

If you're interested in having a great breakfast or lunch, this is the place. We typically dine here for breakfast and we are never disappointed. Eggs are always cooked as ordered, they offer great specials and always friendly and hospitable service. Another attraction to this establishment is that they have a great selection of pinball machines to play while you wait for your delightful breakfast. Great couple who own the place and they live their locals!! read more

Slowest service on the planet. We waited an hour for food. Not once but twice. We will never return.

I've lived in Ormond for 7 years and have never been to this gem!! The staff was so nice and the food was hot and well made. I got the classic eggs Benedict and my kids got Oreo pancakes and a Belgian waffle all delicious! They also had some veggie options for my father in law. Thank you so much! We will be back!! read more

Wow! What a find! The place is amazingly clean and has such a great variety in the menu! Sassy and Karl run a great little cafe! They cook up quick and fast home style meals and make everyone feel like the food was cooked with love!!!!! A recent but fabulous addition to their menu, Taylor poke/ham and egg sandwiches. Not a whole lot of people in this area carry that. They go above and beyond to exceed any expectations. So many local business would benefit by following their business motif! Congratulations to a great establishment that makes everyone that walks thru the door feel like family! By going the extra step to make people feel that they are the most important customer. Each and every one! read more

Irish omelette (corned beef hash) was great! The hash browns were cooked in a lot of oil but were nonetheless delicious. Fresh sourdough bread rounded off the breakfast and I was so full and satisfied with everything. It's a quiet litttle stop along US1, the service was very friendly, and restaurant was exceptionally clean. Thank you very much, I will be back! read more

Fantastic family run local diner. Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly folks.

Fantastic diner in Ormond beach just down the road from the major biker bars on US 1. Hard to find little plaza the sign has been blown down in Mathew. Great breakfast spot with good lunch options as well. Burgers and Fish and Chips are a favorite. Plus they have 9 pinballs most set on 50 cents a play. Karl the owner is an enthusiast and his machines play like new. Plus he's a good cook as well. Pinball leagues are every other Tuesday night at seven. read more

You certainly have to time it right for a breakfast on Sunday. They open at 8am and people are waiting at the door. Great coffee, food selection is good & fresh. Only reason for the 4 stars is that sometimes the kitchen is too slow to deliver breakfast items. Waitstaff makes up for it in being attentive and friendly. read more
