    Maple bacon bagel and a taste of meatlover's omelet and some hash browns from partner's entree
    Christine D.

    Rachel's Cafe is lovely - clean, neat, colorful with a multitude of seating choices. The menu is a large one with a lot of variety in addition to specials. Our server was in training so we were fortunate to have the two waitresses and they were both pleasant as well as informative. I ordered the the Maple Bacon Croissant but substituted the Everything Bagel for the croissant. It was good but would have been better if the bagel had been grilled as the croissant would have been according to the menu. It was also served with a very tiny fruit cup. My dining partner ordered the meat lover's omelet which was served with hash browns with very little taste. I did get to taste them and verified that. It was also felt that the omelet could have had more meat filling. We would return but would order different items.

    I used to come here a LOT in its previous incarnation as Uptown Burger, and I do miss the fact that they were open for dinner. My understanding is that the owner decided change over to breakfast and lunch place, and reopened as Rachel's Cafe; and later, it was sold to another owner. There are some elements on the menu that still remain from the Uptown Burger days. So today, I came in for the first time in quite a while. I noticed two burgers that really caught my eye. So operating on fact that Kao's have four stomachs, I turned on my secret superpower: fatass mode. ........................aka, I ordered both of them. The two burgers that I got were the fig and onion (my absolute favorite, stretching back to the Uptown Burger days), and the Vermont maple. Okay, let's talk the Vermont maple first. This is a decently good, not-too-far-out-there flavor profile. It's more interesting than a plain burger, but it's not crazy. The maple flavor is there, but it doesn't overwhelm the burger. Mozzarella cheese also does well to dampen flavors. Overall, this is a really good burger for those who are either ready to branch out beyond a plain ol' burger or to try something more than yet another burger with a fried egg in it. The fig and onion.... oh boy, my love for this burger knows no bounds. This is a life-changing burger. (wait, what?) ... Okay, hear me out: bacon, caramelized onions, fig jam, gorgonzola cheese. Before this burger, I was actually pretty convinced that I disliked gorgonzola cheese. It's just a hard, somewhat crumbly, moldy, foot-smelling block of salt, right? All that changes when burger juices get soaked into that cheese. It softens the cheese, both literally physically and in flavor. Additionally, you have another huge contrasting flavor in the fig jam. This burger is a huge battle of sweet and savory with very robust flavors, and it was the first burger that I had that made me want to experiment with burger fixings the way that we do with pizza toppings. If you like robust flavors in your food, try this burger. Guarantee it's better than it sounds. Okay, now the sides. I got onion rings with one of my burgers, and fries with the other one. And I'm going to have to say... stick with the onion rings. The fries were, I think, 3/8" machine cut. And I don't know if it was just fried once or didn't do a cold water soak or oil was too low temperature, or a combination of them. The fries looked nice and brown, but they were soft. Like, I've had pan-fried home fries that were crispier. Not sure what's going on there. The onion rings, on the other hand, were nice and crispy, and just more satisfying. If you ever used to come here back in the Uptown Burger days, it still looks pretty much the same inside. The bar area is still where it used to be. I think the chairs at the bar area are still the same exact chairs, actually. The TVs are still where they were mounted before, too. They have an espresso machine there now, though. Didn't get a good look at which model, but it's a Nuova Simonelli (I also failed to notice which grinder they're using, unfortunately).

    This is one of my husband's favorite spots for breakfast. My mother in law came with us and we all loved our food. The menu was extensive and they had lots of choices from bagel sandwiches, croissants, English muffins, omelettes, hash, etc. The waitress we had was very professional and polite for someone in her 20s. I loved my egg white omelette with veggies and chicken sausage. It came with a small serving of fresh fruit. My husband got the corned beef hash and he tought it was great, albeit a bit salty. My mother in law loved her croissant. Plenty of parking in the South County Commons parking area.

    Were there very early on a Saturday morning so there were only a few other diners but the service was very friendly. Food was good. I had a very good latte. My daughter enjoyed the Belgian waffles; however, the bacon I received with my order tasted a bit off. Otherwise a cute little place.

    Inedible "poached" eggs

    Just left Rachel's in Wakefield - one of our worst breakfasts in years! Ordered corned beef hash with poached eggs. The food arrived and eggs were hard boiled. When server finally stopped by to inquire about our meals, I expressed my opinion of the hard boiled poached eggs and she said she'd have chef recook the eggs. 15 minutes later they arrived and they virtually inedible as they were translucent and runny - not cooked at all - revenge of the cook!? One other complaint - $1.50 up charge for rye bread which was pretty ordinary - pretty weird. Oh well. Attitude and food very disappointed.

    Covid 19 update We had a Very nice breakfast. Sat outside at 10am on a cloudy Sunday morning. Sidewalk dining. The food was very good. Tasty breakfast potato's, perfect pancake, Thick slices of buttered rye toast and eggs cooked perfectly over hard. They are doing a terrific job amidst the Covid situation. I highly recommend.

    Watermelon smoothie with a cutie patootie.

    Very friendly staff. Clean inside. Delicious food. Smoothies are yummy. My son had the watermelon smoothie with regular milk and I had black Cherry with with oat milk. We ate a Belgium waffle, avocado sandwich and egg white omelette. Homemade taste and great service.

    We were visiting from PA and we came upon this hidden gem of a place! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was top notch! Very clean place with Modern decor! I highly recommend this place!!

    The Commons- 2 eggs, potatoes, toast and a pancake!
    Anita G.

    This is fabulous eating establishment. Extremely well operated, gorgeous interior and the staff is incredibly professional and friendly. The food is off the charts great. I had the Portuguese sweet bread French toast with fresh strawberries. We loved that we could order REAL maple syrup! Every restaurant should have this option. The French toast was delicious and perfectly browned. My side of bacon was cooked perfectly - just the amount crispness. My husband had The Commons, 2 eggs fried over hard potatoes and multigrain toast. He also had a buttermilk pancake that was right up his alley! We are very appreciative of the service we received from Rickie, and the Owner/manager. Everyone seemed to work hard toward the end goal which was pleasing the customer. We will definitely return next time we are in the area.

My husband and I got the honey pepperoni pizza, and it was very delicious and huge pretty spicy too! We were able to take some home!

It's pretty casual, more so a sports bar-type of setting. Pretty nice to bring family and friends to grab a bite or even go on a casual date. They also had private parking, which makes things a lot easier! Service: Service was great.

The complementary bread was warm and delicious...it came with a nice olive oil dip. We got two glasses of the Simi Valley Cab and they were delicious and robust. Great choice for a red wine. I ordered the clam spaghetti and my husband got the Chicken Rossini. The pasta was very salty...probably the saltiest dish I have had in years...I did not send it back, I just downed two full glasses of water with my meal. My husband's chicken dish was large and good tasting, but also a bit salty...not as much as my pasta dish, but salty. It's easy to add a bit of salt to a dish, but it's really hard to take it out.

The short rib ravioli special is AMAZING. We also love their strawberry romana dessert. Their drinks are always good. The service is consistently good, and the owners seem to take pride in their restaurant.

We split the stuffies as an appetizer and also the stuffed mushrooms. My aunt commented that both had too many breadcrumbs in it and I agree. We all got different meals, three of us got seafood dishes and my mom and I both got the chicken piccata. The portion was definitely huge, I'm a big fan of chicken piccata normally and I thought this was okay. I do have a ton of pasta left over, though. My husband got the seafood casserole and I think overall enjoyed it. For his sides he got the mixed veggies and the onion rings, and I think the onion rings were my favorite part of the entire meal, they came in a huge basket and they were delicious and perfectly fried. Waitservice was friendly and our group drink a lot of water so she ended up bringing carafes for us which was nice. It was a little hot in the area we were sitting, also, but to be fair it was about 92 to 95° out today, which is atypical for Rhode Island. They had a box AC unit but you could tell it was working hard to keep up. Overall I would maybe come back here again when in the area but I would probably order a sandwich or something different.

Check their social media on Facebook since they had a deal for January that you got a free shrimp tempura appetizer with entree purchase. It was delicious.
