My friend got the banana, chocolate chip crepe and she also took half home for the next day. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star was the prices online via the dine in menu differs quite a bit. But since we were already there, we decided to try and we are glad that we did. I personally will be back but have to keep in mind the menu prices online is incorrect.

I tried the brisket mac and cheese. The brisket was very tender but lacked seasoning/flavor. It was boring. Even if is over roasted brisket is a large slab of beef that needs a good amount of seasoning. The Mac and cheese itself was also quite bland. It would have benefited from a sharp cheese or hot sauce in the prep. Overall just okay for us.

First time at Genetti Cafe! Blown away! Menus is not gargantuan but what we had was superbly delicious! The food came out quick and hot. My mom even had her first pour over coffee :) At first bite, we could immediately tell the difference between "large menu" places where most everything is frozen. You will only realize the difference once you have better grade, fresh, organic food like at Genetti Cafe. My mom who orders the same thing everywhere raved about her organic egg omelet and couldn't get over how good even the breakfast potatoes were. I tasted both and agree with her wholeheartedly. My sandwich was wonderfully tasteful and so filling that I had to bring half home. The ambiance - Wow! Even better in person than the photos. It's a very relaxing atmosphere with lovely (not annoying) background music. It made us want to stay longer an continue to enjoy. Very eclectic, even the plates we ate off of were gorgeous. The owner (I assume) was friendly and answered questions we had about things around the restaurant, so we learned a few things too. This is a must try gem with attention to detail and it shows. Of course we will be returning. (We parked in front, but there is extra parking in back with an entrance door.) read more

Just had a fantastic early Mother's Day brunch at Genettis Bistro And Cafe, and I can't recommend it enough! The atmosphere was wonderful - so warm and inviting, the perfect place to celebrate. The food was absolutely delicious, clearly freshly made with high-quality ingredients. We especially loved the savory spinach and bacon quiche, the flavorful organic chicken sandwich, and the perfectly sweet French toast. And the cappuccino was excellent too! What truly stood out was the great service. We even had the pleasure of being served by the owner herself, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a special spot to celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, look no further than Genettis Bistro And Cafe! You won't be disappointed. read more

The ambiance is modern and bright, with a polished yet casual and welcoming atmosphere. The space is airy, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our server was Ivan, and he was great, answering our questions and giving his recommendations. I ordered the strawberry sunshine smoothie and 2-eggs with meat. It comes with hash browns, and you can choose toast or pancakes. I chose toast. Hubby ordered the short stack (2 pancakes) and chose à la carte items: bacon and hash browns. Hubby especially enjoyed his pancakes, and we both liked the crisp hash browns. I also enjoyed my smoothie. It was refreshing and a change from having coffee. They do have quite an extensive beverage list of lattes, smoothies, mocktails, matcha, and freshly squeezed juices. I am huge on personable service, and a really nice touch was that one of the owners (sorry, I don't remember his name) stopped by every table, introduced himself, and personally thanked everyone for coming in today. This small gesture made our experience even warmer and more welcoming.

On my most recent visit, I was with my wife and our three kids, one of them being an infant. It felt strange that gratuity was automatically added because we were considered a party of five, even though my infant son didn't eat, and the other kids barely ate and shared a meal. The prices also feel high for what you get, with most items around $18 and up. I don't mind paying more when the food and experience match the price, but in this case the quality didn't really justify it. The service was just okay and nothing stood out enough to make up for the cost. I wanted to like this place because my first visit was great, but based on the last two visits, I left disappointed.

I had to begin here, as my feelings were DEEPLY HURT, as the cost of a glass of orange juice that was MAYBE 12OZ was $8.99! Why!? Why!? Why!? This was discovered when it was time to pay the bill. I have been to MANY PLACES...MANY places for breakfast fare, and have had LARGER GLASSES of orange juice for less. I could not for the life me figure out how or why this was the price they decided on!!??! Was it freshly juiced orange juice? Sure. Was it enjoyed by my date? Yes. Was that itty bitty glass worth $8.99? NOPE,AND A BIG FAT NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It kinda ruined it for me. Because it didn't sense. *exhaling* I found this cute spot just by googling"pancakes near me". Lol I find fun things this way:) When I tell you it was everything I needed it to be (except for that orange juice price tag-yes, I am still reeling from that and its 10:38pm CST). It was small inside. It was cute. No Instagram frills. It reminded me of the 90's. The music playing was even befitting for a sweet, soft, enjoyable breakfast experience. No one was there when we arrived. Just the workers. Very attentive individuals. Not too big on smiles, but I was there for pancakes. The order: The pancake combo/breakfast came with 2 pancakes, I added fresh strawberries. Eggs cooked soft(2) sausage links(2). I had a cup of coffee with water. My date's order: Cinnamon Apple Pancakes Pancakes (2) eggs(2) and (2)bacon. Oh and that RIDICULOUSLY PRICED ORANGE JUICE.*sigh* *To our surprise, we recieved 3 pieces of breakfast meats apiece * The meal was perfection. It was what my belly and morning soul needed. Fresh, crispy, warm, and simply delightful. Coffee hot. Yes, please keep it coming! Lol I ate it slow. Each bite made me so happy I(again randomly selected a new spot to check out. Well, new to me. I asked how long this establishment has been open, the response, 14 years. 14 years!? And I never knew it was there. In a new plaza.... hmmm.. how did I miss that!? A few more people trinkled in as we ate. The noise level didnt really change. When I say it was so quiet in there. So peaceful. So calm. It was absolutely what my Saturday morning heart needed. Thank you. Though the orange juice price was BANANAS!!!!!! I will return. It was such a good time. Such a calming good time. And as always, you don't have to believe me... Go get you some!

The good is that the room is well lit with lots of windows and a lot of natural light. The restroom was also clean. Unfortunately this was the best part of the experience. The bad: service. Our server was young , inexperienced, and inattentive. Waited forever for water and drink service. The ugly was the meal. There were three of us. We ordered grilled cheese, eggs Benedict florentine , and the house Gaston Benedict. Each meal came out at different times. There was a 15-18 minute gap between the first meal served and the last meal served. The timing was unacceptable, especially since the place was empty. All meals came out Luke warm. Even the grilled cheese and fries. First off the grilled cheese came first, 7-9 minutes later came the Benedict with spinach and tomato. 10 minutes later came the Gaston Benedict. The grilled cheese was good; albeit served lukewarm warm and not hot. Seriously how can anyone mess up a grilled cheese and fries? In both Benedict's the poached eggs were over cooked, poached hard and served luke warm. The potatoes were charred and cold. The bacon and chicken breast on the Gaston were cold. The florentine skimped on the spinach and it was lukewarm warm at best. In both Benedict's, the hollandaise appeared to have been out of a jar, had no flavor, was watery and was served cold. Finally we ordered ice tea. It had that funky taste ice because it is likely left out and they add new tea to yesterdays tea. It was gross. This meal sucked! The manager or owner came over and said sorry. Said he would take off both Benedict's. But then only took off the Gaston Benedict. He was too busy entertaining and eating with what appeared to be family or friends on the patio to follow up and left it to the young inexperienced waitress to explain. Regretfully, I paid for what was supposed to be taken off my bill as both Benedict's were inedible. I didn't want to make a scene and wanted to leave. I now know why on a Sunday morning the place was empty and why this restaurant is struggling. Too many other breakfast places in the area. I don't think I will ever return.
