Horrible!! The server did not acknowledge us. 15 minutes later and they were just chatting among themselves. Horrible! We ended up leaving and going to the pizza place across the street which was amazing!! read more

Eh...lived in area my entire life...my first visit and not impressed. Ordered three drinks. The girl went away and came back with iced tea, a cup full of ice and an empty cup. She basically threw the tea at me and left go before I barely had it in my hand. Then she disappeared. She returned and took food out to dining area. She returned, carried the two cups around the corner and then delivered more food. She did this for 10 minutes. I don't know how people are taught these days, but in my day you complete the order you took and then move on. I served for years and would never leave a customer stand 10-15 minutes waiting on a drink. Have another server deliver...finish the task at hand. To beat it all she apparently forgot what she was making because we had to go back to get the caramel added to the caramel coffee! It seems this place is now a Mexican place rather than the cafe it once was. I used to hear great things about this place, but not sure I will return. read more

There isn't a lot of options in boiling springs for food, but cafe 101 is a great choice. They have a great selection of American and Mexican food. They have great outdoor seating in the summer and can be very busy with through hikers on the AT. They have good service and are family owned. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner there! read more

We headed over here for lunch after visiting nearby resort. After hearing about how this was a Boiling Springs historical staple, we gave it a visit. Unfortunately , it was very underwhelming, in food and in service. They were not accommodating with our young children, as no booster or high chair was available. We ordered "Mexican" food, but being from Texas, there was very little Mexican about it. The flavors were extremely bland. Taco salad did not include a protein, which for chicken was an additional $3.50. Steak would have been $4.50. Prices were steep for what it was. At least walking around the place was nice. read more

The fajita burrito with steak was great. We had a nice outdoor seat in the pleasant little lake town. Great service. read more

First and probably last time here... Didn't know how the seating and all worked so went inside to ask. Employee told us to go sit where we want and they would come out and give us menus shortly. Waited for about 10 mins and got tired of waiting so went back in for the menus. Got the menus and ordered. Food came out quick. I got Caesar salad wrap. Tasted cheap, the dressing tastes really cheap. If they would just get a better dressing the whole wrap would be better. The chicken in the wrap was too salty. But the chips were so bland and needs more salt. Iced latte was okay. Once we got the check, no one came back out to get the money. So once again had to go inside and pay. The servers and employees were nice but still not great service overall. read more

food quality is very good, tastes great , service is good but I have almost stopped going there because of the very small salsa cups and only one kind and if you want another tiny cup its $0.75 each type & each so I found another great mexican restaurant that serves food with gratis big bottles of salsa verde and salsa ranchero so I have been going there instead. just saying- think about your lost business because of this small thing read more

We called in for queso and chips . $11.11!!!!!! For chips and cheese!! The cheese was way too thin ( watered down ) it used to be thicker and would stay on the chip . I was there with a friend a month ago she ordered a cheese sandwich ( she didn't want any lunch meat so she asked if they could substitute it with just cheese) they put 2 slices of cheese on her toasted bread and the crust was so hard she had to take off the crust! Quality and quantity has gone downhill unfortunately will not be giving them any more of our business. read more

This is a small restaurant so could wait on a busier night for a table as they don't take reservations. The parking lot is attached to the side of the restaurant, there Is also a small outside area. The price point I think is a bit much for a Mexican restaurant. I got the sampler 101 for $17.50, I would have liked if the quesdilla that came with had meat in them, besides the quesdillas everything was very delicious. My fiance got the enchiladas nortenas for $16.50, he said it was good, however didn't feel well after eating it. I think ended with a caramel frappe for $6.25 which was pretty delicious. I'm not sure if I'd return the prices are pretty steep. read more

A little cluttered inside - "find your way to a table". Gotta navigate the oddly places seating in this old house. The prices are not cheap, but portions are generous, nice balance. Staff is a little aloof but super friendly and kind. Lots of drink and meal options ... eat inside or out. read more

Quaint eatery with a nice menu. The salad I had was hood but the dressing was a bit on the salty side. The young man that served me could have been better trained and more knowledgeable about the menu. I noticed a lot of people coming in for milkshakes which I did not try. The seating area outside was in high demand. read more

Amazing food. We all got Mexican dinners, it was so good, we got it all again another night.

Hmm ... not sure what happened but stood in line wearing a bright orange shirt and nobody asked if I wanted anything. A large group of people came in behind me and the three people working the counter waited on them. Weird. read more

Amazing Mexican food. One of my family's favorite places to eat. The food is always good and the service is friendly and attentive.

I met some friends today at Cafe 101 because it was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy some sunshine.. our waitress did not come to us as we all sat down closed our menus and we're ready to order. unfortunately the service. was nothing but poor the food they served us. although we modified some things, the price that they charged us was definitely not worth It . We sat with our dirty dishes on our table, we never got refills on our drink. when she did bring the refills there was no ice put into our iced tea. Don't recommend this place. It has gone downhill severely. sorry 101 do better . read more

I've been here a few times now - sampling different items in order to find my 'go-to' dish...still looking;) Everything I've tried has been primo - on this visit I went with one of the wraps ...great again! Venue is terrific with a nice patio overlooking the lake across the street. Service has always been stellar as well. Note for first-time visitors, figuring out how to get seated is tricky ...currently you go inside to a counter near the kitchen to ask for your table. After that, it's pretty much smooth sailin' - wait staff has always been attentive albeit busy! There are a lot of great choices - may take a few visits to find your favorite! read more

Very disappointed in their breakfast food. Food was cold, eggs Benedict overcooked when I asked for runny eggs. Also muffins were dry since there wasn't enough sauce for them too. Hollandaise sauce watery and cool. Needed it reheated. Not enough for eggs. Waitress not attentative enough asking if we needed more coffee. This is the second time this has happened. My friend's food was cold too and when she asked for more Hollandaise, they charged her. Not sure how they make their coffee but it was not in pots but a small pitcher. read more

The only thing better than the service was the food. Everything was on point. Excellent portion size and our whole party enjoyed everything. I had the carnitas and they were some of the best/most authentic tacos I've had. Our server was incredible. Three out of four of us had food allergies. One couldn't eat dairy and one was celiac. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe for them. Even double checking to make sure. Definitely check this place out! read more

I had the Burrito Verde, which was fresh tasting and quite enjoyable. I ended the meal with a churro sundae for something different. The food and the service were excellent. read more

Took my daughter out for dinner. Haven't been here in a while. Perfect day to sit outside, but those tables were almost full, so we opted for sitting indoors. Greeted sweetly by staff. Friendly knowledgeable waitress. We ordered blanco queso with tortilla chips for an appetizer, and cheese quesadillas and a chicken burrito for dinner. Delicious! But the queso was too salty for me after a few tries. I mixed it up with the provided spoon and it only seemed to get saltier, so I took the rest home for my husband. Really great place to enjoy. Reasonable prices. I recommend bringing cash to pay so you'll save 4%. Highly recommend this restaurant. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner! read more

This is a little gem in Boiling Springs right next to the lake. I love this little town and it's ambience, and having good eats there as well is a bonus. Really good Mexican food made fresh to order. I ordered the Burrito Verde last time; veggie. It was amazing but with all the chips and salsa and Sopes appetizer I could only eat half but that was good since I got to eat leftovers the next day!!! Indoor and outdoor seating available and of course restrooms in the back. They also have a walk up to order ice cream, coffees/teas and pastries to go if you'd like. Would be great on a hot day to order a ice cream then take a stroll around the picturesque lake. read more

Caffe 101 is one of my favorite places to eat on a warm day. They have a nice patio that overlooks the lake. Their menu has a variety of American and Mexican food. My favorite is the vegetarian tacos. The service can be hit or miss. I had a female server completely ghost me a few weeks ago in the middle of my meal. I waited about twenty minutes for her to return so I could ask for a a drink refill. My food was cold by the time I flagged down a male coworker for another drink. He was fantastic and picked up her slack. She did return over an hour later like nothing happened. It's important to know that if you pay with a credit card, they charge you an extra fee. read more

Has been our go- to place! Today, not! Service was extremely slow. The food took forever to arrive. Eggs Benedict were just short of hockey pucks, way overcooked !. Ham was the size of a silver dollar, and thin; hollandaise sauce had no flavor and was sparse!! Sorry, but we won't rush back! read more

Prices not posted anywhere .. when asked for ice cream prices or milkshake prices was told . I don't know but when I ring you up it will tell me .. how can you not know how much 1 scoop or two scoops of ice cream costs ... no prices for specialty coffees either .. we left without ordering .. was a shame as it looked like a charming stop . The lunch menu which had a printed binder was very expensive .. read more

The waitress was very kind...however not very well put together. Our table was dirty and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. The food was ok. Would I come back yes - if I had too. the ambiance was not that great. Seemed a bid messy and very dated. read more

We went to breakfast with a large group on the Saturday before Easter; six adults and seven kids. We sat outside and really enjoyed the view of the children's lake. The kids ran around in the grassy area while we waited for our food Everything we ordered was delicious! We did have a few entrees that were missing but the waitress made sure to bring them out quickly. It's not often you find a yummy breakfast spot that is this kid friendly. I'm looking forward to going back again! read more

Amazing Mexican food here. The service is pretty good, and since the lake is right next to it, the atmosphere is pretty great.

Great Mexican food in a cool old building by Children's Lake. Outside seating is really nice. Bring your dog, and they'll bring a water bowl. I like the wraps they have at lunch and wish they served them after 4. read more

While we LOVE Caffe 101, the last several times we've called in for take out have resulted in incorrect orders when we've come to pick them up. I try to be graceful, but unfortunately I have to update this review to remove a star since it's become a recurring issue. read more

The food was delicious, service was excellent. Love the byob. Will go again. Outside seating is lovely.

It's a lovely location, but unfortunately that's about all it has going for it at this point. Server did not write anything down which resulted in items bring incorrect or missing completely. The worst being the pancakes for the 2 year old that did not arrive until everyone was done eating. We had to ask for waters 3 or four times and waited 20 mins and had to specifically ask if we could order food. The food itself is also just mediocre at best. Mostly bland and, although food came out at staggered times, some was cold including hollandaise sauce on eggs benedict. We have been here a few times and had already decided not to come back for dinner because of the food, but alas we will not be back at all despite its convenience and lovely location. read more

Excellent food and service. We were there for lunch and had the roasted red pepper soup, stuffed portobello mushrooms and grilled veggie salad. Highly recommend. read more

Rude, inattentive and overpriced. Sat down outside with my 11-year-old granddaughter for a few minutes then went into the cafe to ask for service. I noticed the hostess glaring at me and I asked if I should check in for service. She asked if the little girl outside at the table was mine, and I said yes. She got visibly angry and told me that we couldn't just sit down and that we had to move. Where were the signs and why didn't the waiter who was standing right beside the outside table tell me I had to go inside and talk to the hostess? I had been there twice before and sat outside before going in to get ice cream and was not told I could not sit outside before seeing the hostess. She was rude, disrespectful and insulting to me and my young granddaughter, who was the one who suggested we go to Cafe 101. Never again. Additionally, I have read reviews that have shared my opinion that their workers are rude and inattentive. They should also rethink their pricing, since there are many restaurants in the area with better food, at better prices. read more

Very impressive little cafe restaurant in the heart of charming little Boiling Springs. Clean, comfortable, and appealing. Really enjoyed being out side on their patio dining where they have a semi nice view of the park across the street. We only had coffee, a frap, and some baked goods. Looking forward to going back for dinner, although it was a surprise (due to the location it's in) the menu consisted of Mexican fair. But we like that type of food and there is it has a large variety. The staff was friendly, very polite and helpful. Everything that we had was generally good. Just not sure when we will make it back as it's a little out of the way for us. Also, they have a parking lot we weren't aware of until we left, ended up looking for parking on the road. read more

I stopped here to grab takeout for lunch last week while in the area. It was recommended to me by a coworker. The only downfalls to this place as a newcomer is the parking and the inability to figure out where to enter from the parking lot. The menu is VERY extensive and it seems like there is a mish mosh of foods. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap which was good but was missing the hot sauce. However, it was still a great wrap and very filling. They also had a small ice cream area as well as a spot for baked goods. I thought the prices were fairly reasonable. They had indoor and outdoor seating. I cannot wait to head back and try something new. read more
