There seem to be several mixed reviews, although some are older, so keep that in mind. However, on our visit here for a quick breakfast, it was very clean, pleasant, and quick. My wife and I split a margherita omelette, which I had never had this type of omelette, but my wife did on a previous visit, and it comes with a side of pancakes (3). She ordered a side of turkey sausage, and we both had coffee. So for this, we walked out full, and the food came before I got halfway on my first cup. I really enjoyed the roasted herb tomatoes and the basil; it was almost pizza-like, but that is not a bad thing. The pancakes were not that good according to my wife, but I didn't have the same opinion, and the coffee was just what I needed that rainy day. read more

We tried the following mimosas: lavender blueberry, peach mojito, raspberry limeade, midtown (orange), sweet tart, blood orange, Lavendar lemonade. The lavendar drinks were good. I liked blueberry more because you could taste both the blueberry and lavendar, but my fiancé liked the lemonade one more. The sweet tart was just sugar. A bit too sickly sweet for us. The blood orange was okay. Tasted as you'd expect. The midtown was a classic but nothing special. The raspberry limeade was okay. You could taste the raspberry but not so much the limeade. Peach mojito tasted like a peach bellini, so that one was really good - my fiancé's favorite. He ordered the meat and cheese omelette with turkey sausage. It was a lot of meat, maybe even too much. It was more meat than egg. Then, the egg itself was lackluster. It wasn't fluffy either. Cheese was fine. Overall would not get again. But the pancakes were pretty good. It made up for the omelette. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Grits were loose in a good way. You could imagine warming them up later would be fine since they didn't start off so thick. The shrimp was okay. Overcooked but carried the whole dish to be better than it was without it. The bacon bits threw me off for some reason so didn't like that, and the cheese was fine. Overall, wouldn't order the entrees again but will be back for Friday $12 mimosa flight special and try something different to eat. read more

If you need a solid spot for brunch this is it. The pancakes are fluffy, and the mimosa options are rather large, and they have cake slices. I got the spicy mango mimosa and it was very tasty. I loved the caramel banana French toast. Definitely need to go back to try a few more options. read more

Ordered Midtown Cafe off of Uber Eats for lunch, and yum!! It hit the spot! I got the chicken salad wrap with a side of the pesto pasta salad. It was very filling! I loved how the chicken salad had grapes in it - it was a perfect addition of sweetness. The pasta salad portion is awesome! It is very well-dressed with pesto. I loved it. The Uber Eats order came in like 20 minutes! I was super impressed!! A great lunch. read more

The bride and I went as it was close to the crappy hotel we stayed at. The food was ok, nothing special. I had a sausage & cheese omelette with pancakes. The bride had the shrimp & grits. My omelette had more sausage on top of it than in it. As far as omelettes go, it was not very big or tasty. My wife said her shrimp and grits were void of any flavor. The server was fantastic, she should get 5 stars and the restaurant only 3, so I just averaged it out. Her name was Scarlette T and she kept our drinks full, was very attentive and overall a fantastic job by her. In our family grading system, we would not be going back to try again read more

Solid upscale brunch and diner spot. Ryan took good care of us. Partner had the crab cakes with grits (stone ground, natch) and the cakes were excellent. (Grits were mildly sweet, but I was migraining so my tastebuds might have been off). I had the "blackened" chicken Caesar salad. It was a decent grilled chicken, though I'd not have called it blackened. The salad itself was decent, not phenomenal, but good. The kids had two of the kids pancake options, and liked the caterpillar the most. Tried the neopolitan cake and the Italian buttercream. The kids like the neopolitan, though it wasn't for me, but the Italian with the buttercream was very very nice. We'll be back! There was plenty of seating indoors, which was good since there was a storm out. It didn't dim the ambiance. read more

ALWAYS busy! ALWAYS good! Service is always wonderful. French toast is wonderful, for someone who doesn't love french toast. Go early, or you'll be in the group of people at the door waiting on Saturday morning! read more

I'm a little surprised Yelpers don't love this place as much. We ordered breakfast quesadilla, oatmeal pancakes and shirmp+grits to share. The food is great. I really enjoyed the grits - perfectlyseasoned, cheesy, and creamy. Plating could be better - it was really hard to l cut up and eat the pancakes without making a huge mess. The quesadilla could use a little more taste. read more

My friend and I met here, for the first time, and snagged an outside table. The patio seating is lovely. She started with the Midtown Maple Latte and I had the Toasted Marshmallow Latte. Both were good but I was expecting the marshmallows to be toasted. They were actually tiny, dry marshmallows (think Swiss Miss) on top of whipped cream. The Spicy Grit Skillet was absolutely delicious and I love that they don't stir everything together. The andouille sausage was in pieces not ground and they cooked it perfectly. This also comes with 2 over easy eggs, a small dollop of pimento cheese and green onions. The pimento cheese was very good but I held the green onions. They may have applied them and removed them before serving because I could smell them. It didn't affect the taste and I was thrilled with the meal. My friend got the Western Omelet with a side of grits. She said everything was delicious. We split a small side order of pancakes, just to try them. If you like fluffy and soft pancakes, these are for you. Wendy was appropriately funny and attentive. We signed up to be VIPs so we will be back. read more

Mama and I love this place! From walking in and being greeted by the two friendly hostesses to being seated and greeted by our server Sydney... I ordered my usual: the honey bourbon salmon with the honey bourbon sauce on the side with the collard greens and green beans. The collard greens are spicy and flavorful and the green beans have just the right amount of umph. They are also very generous portions. there is always beautiful music playing, and there is a lot of room in the location. It has a cool vibe and we came at a good time because there weren't very many patrons. We have been here before and it has been packed... So today we chose the right time to get seated immediately and have our food brought out fresh and quick. The lighting is perfect for the ambience and the vibe. The pastry case is always full of yummy looking desserts and pastries... However, I've tried the cheesecake that was just average and Mama tried the Chocolate chip cookie that was average as well. Mama said that the ice cream is tasty though. As an added bonus, they also have an espresso bar and make very delicious lattes and cappuccinos. I get my usual my oat milk café mocha with three shakes of cinnamon powder stirred in. I think they use Ghirardelli dark chocolate sauce. The music suits the vibe at the Midtown Café and dessertery very well. The prices are also reasonable and if you sign up for their rewards, it's very easy to earn them and get discounts on your food! In fact, you get 25 points for just signing up for the rewards. You earn one point for every dollar spent, so your points add up quickly. Also, if you spend $50 you immediately get five dollars off and you can stack your rewards on top of that! In fact, I earned a reward today! I encourage you to give the midtown Cafe and Desserty a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

The food was amazing!! The amount of food that they provide per dish is well worth the price. We were able to share one entree and and add a side of bacon which was perfect for 2 people. The mimosa flavors were delicious. We had strawberry pina cola day, orange cranberry, pineapple apricot, and peach mojito. They have a loyalty program. It was a great experience and the service was impeccable. I can't wait to go back. The environment is fun and family oriented but it's perfect for any group. read more

Great service and a quiet place to eat. My southwest omelette was very much enjoyable. Lacked in the spice but was tasty from start to finish.

Great service! Our journey to looking for gluten free friendly places to eat, led us here. The Gluten free menu offers a variety of choices from breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Our sweet tooth kids complained about the 2 option desserts - gluten free chocolate torte or the scoop of vanilla ice cream. I'm glad to add this to our favorites in Winston-Salem. It's clean, kid friendly and follow safe cross contamination practices for our family. Love it! read more

Sigh, that was a let down. Been following them on Facebook for a while and it seems like they're well loved.. but not by me. Got the cali burger with chips (they brought fries, then fixed it) and it had no flavor. I typically don't like to add ketchup to my burgers but I had to do something to give it some flavor. The chips were pitiful. They look like tiny potato scraps. I wish I would've taken pictures for y'all, but I was starving when the food came out. Service was great though! read more

This is a cool place in Stratford Village to trap a bit of breakfast, soup or sandwich, burger, or a nice piece of freshly made cake. It is a very bright upscale spot, nicely decorated, well lit and softly colored. The interior is broken up into a handful of cozy nooks and crannies - there is a comfortable feel to this place, aided by the low noise level! On this day I was in the mood for a nice Bacon Cheeseburger, which here comes with a side of hand cut FFs. The burger was out in under 15 minutes and I was on my way. This was a very, very good CB - nicely cooked to just above medium, beef patty was full of flavor, toppings of cheese, L&T&M were fresh tasting and plentiful. The patty was well sized, at least 6 ounces. The FF were tasty but a bit on the limp side. The burger was not cheap, as dressed out with a small side of FF, the price was $14. The quality of the burger gave value, and I'll order it again. I'm not one to give up quality for cost. Ambiance - 4.5 Food - 4.5 Service - 4.5 Value - 3.5 read more

Breakfast is our favorite meal to eat out, and Winston-Salem has lots of great choices. Some friends gave us a gift card for the Midtown Cafe & Desertery, along with the recommendation that they had great breakfast (served all day). So, off we go to check it out. First, let me say, the food was very good. I ordered Eggs Over Easy, bacon, hash browns and a pancake. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Three slices of bacon were flavorful and cooked just right. The pancakes (they brought three) were fluffy and tasted good. And the has browns, we cooked properly and had good flavor. I have no complains about my breakfast. Carolyn blew my mind when she ordered Crabcakes and Grits! The grits were creamy and had just the right amount of butter and salt. The crabcakes were pan seared and placed in the grits and drizzled with a sauce. They were tasty and the presentation was top quality. Our server was prompt, check back regularly, kept the water glasses full, and was pleasant to deal with. We had several good laughs together. So, was our friend accurate? Most definitely, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. My only negative comment concerns the price. While not outrageous, it was on the high side. Our check was just over $30 with only water to drink. We have several favorite places that would have been about $21 for a similar meal. The do offer several "out of the box" items you won't find just anywhere. So, do we recommend Midtown, yes - as long as you don't mind the price. We will return, but not as often as to some of our other favorites. read more

The fruity French toast from Midtown Café and Dessertery is my favorite brunch dish in town. I'm not sure what they put in their French toast -- or the cinnamon-flavored syrup it's served with -- but it knocked my socks off. Also make sure to try their hash browns. That being said, it's worth mentioning that Midtown Cafe is crowded on weekends. Expect a 30 minute wait or longer if you're going around noon on a Saturday or Sunday . read more

Very disappointed at the food from Midtown cafe. All the reviews have rave reviews about food and pictures are very appealing, but I didn't receive the same quality at all. My food was bland, no flavor what so ever. It is just some grill meat in a bun. I think you have to get pancakes and cakes from here in order to have a satisfy meal. Our waiter was very attentive, all the employees were very nice. Kitchen needs some improvement tho. read more

I adore their vegetable beef soup. When I'm sick, it keeps me alive. I DoorDashed it three days in a row, a quart at a time. No, really. Try it. You can even get their lunch combo of soup and grilled cheese. What could go wrong? The dinner menu has some good options, especially the chicken pie and the salmon. As for breakfast... their omelettes come with 3 pancakes! Okay, so I've become very fond of the joint over the past couple of years. It's pretty Southern cuisine, so don't expect spicy or anything oriental, but what they do have, they do well. The noise level is reliably quiet and peaceful, which is rare for this part of town, and the members of staff are always polite. It's a good spot for a conversation. read more
