It's just a great place all the way around!!! My boyfriend said that he has been coming here for years eating it sometimes 3 times a day. And they did not disappoint!! Very good food! read more

The food is amazing as well as the service, it's normally packed but the most we've waited is about 20 minutes.

If you want to experience a place that is a mix of American and Hispanic culture, this is your place. This is a fascinating piece of integrated Americana cuisine. From the outside it looks like your typical American breakfast diner you'd more likely find in rural eastern NC. When you get inside you notice the staff is mostly if not entirely Hispanic with a few Hispanic meals (I think Caribbean) on the menu (more for lunch than breakfast). I always get the same traditional breakfast so I can't judge other parts of the menu, but their breakfast is fine. I judge a diner on its breakfast potatoes harshly if they come as more like tater tots or french fries. But Spring Cafe has fresh potatoes so they pass that test. It is a fairly small restaurant so you have to be there early if waiting is one of your pet peeves. The prices are reasonable and the staff is attentive. A restaurant should offer an experience above and beyond the food itself and Spring Cafe passes that test also. Also, if you want to experience something Hispanic above and beyond the typical Mexican restaurant, this also delivers while keeping the choices you want in the typical American diner. I recommend it. read more

Maria! Great waitress! Spring Cafe! Delicious every time! Wonderful food at a great price!

This is my favorite go-to places for lunch in Raleigh. I love their daily lunch specials and their breakfast is good too. I especially love their chicken & dumplings which they serve on Thursdays. I come so often the servers already know what I want. The ladies there work their butts off and are always so pleasant. The prices are very reasonable and if there is a wait it does not take long to get seated. read more

Polarizing location in a strip mall next to a barbershop-- locations like these are normally either elite or trash. This place though, was the former. Elite breakfast spot. Pancakes were flavorful with a nice texture. French toast was rich in taste. The waffle was solid, a bit too crispy, but tasted good. The hash browns didn't have great presentation but were sufficient. The chicken tenders were the star of the show, complimented by a barbecue sauce with the right blend of tang and smokiness. Water tasted top shelf as well. Service staff were attentive and quite hospitable. Nice little gem breakfast spot in Raleigh! read more

Spring Cafe - Chicken & Waffles, French Toast, and Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I just left the res on 11/2/25 and the service was absolutely horrible. we had to wait 15 minutes , which we had no problem waiting, and once we got to the table we were not greeted for atleast 10 minute and frankly at all. There was one server who kept looking at us and made eye contact several times and we still weren't greeted. no drink,no menu, no water. NOTHING. The problem we had was a couple who walked in 5 minutes after us got their drinks, menu, and what looked like took an order way before us. The lady who we talked too after we left practically tried to gaslight us into telling us that she greeted us over the phone which was a lie read more

Only thing u can say that was good about this place is the service. I ordered the Corned beef hash and I was expecting it to better. But I absolutely could not stomach it. It looked like vomit and I did not like the taste. I took it home and fed it to my dog. I also ordered the Sausage gravy and it was also a disappointment...not flavorful at all. Store bought gravy tastes better than theirs. My daughter however did enjoy her pancakes. I took a bite and can confirm the Pancakes are good. My husband ordered an omelet. He did enjoy it....aside from the pieces of Kraft cheese on top. read more

This is a cute and quaint diner in a business park off Spring Forest and Capital Blvd. The prices are fair and the portions are huge. I ordered the corn beef hash (fried hard) and hash browns ( with grilled onions and tomatoes) which tasted just like Waffle House:) The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is courteous and friendly! We'll definitely come back for Sunday brunch. read more

Hands down the best breakfast place we have been to! The staff is nice and efficient. The food is scrumptious, great portions, coffee is good, really good overall menu! The dining room is pretty small so you may at have to wait a few minutes, but it's so worth it! 5 read more

Prices were great, food was good however, service was extremely slow ( was there mid day on a Saturday and I understand the regular person who works hostess/payment location was not there). They took a minimum of 45 minutes from order to delivery of food for ALL tables and they prioritized "take out" orders before people eating in. There must have been 50 take out boxes taken to the front ( for people ordering and waiting at the front- not orders made before we got there). These orders were take and fulfilled before and during the time while any food was delivered to us or others who came in around the same time. We had previously eaten here a couple months ago and thought to try again- it was a painful experience and we will NOT return on a weekend or if they are busy. read more

The food is delicious and great portions for a small dine in restaurant and the people are very friendly and welcoming.

We come here at least once a month, they are busy right before church and after. I had the corn beef hash again, but it wasn't fried as hard this time and I will ask for it to be fried harder next time. My friend loves their ham and always gets it. The eggs are always cooked to perfection. read more

This spot is in an unassuming strip mall. The have online ordering and delivery through Grub Hub This small cafe has a classic American diner menu - burgers, sandwiches, wraps and breakfast. They also have a few vegetarian options and southern classics like liver & onions. It seems like they have popular lunch specials with entree, side & drink for 9.99 The veggie burger & fries I got was really delicious! I was pleasantly surprised. It had great flavor and wasn't dry The staff were friendly and helpful The cafe has indoor seating only with booths and tables. Many of the patrons during the lunch hour were seniors - it seems to be popular with that age group read more

I have been driving by this place for YEARS but finally went in for breakfast today. Seated quickly. Ordered the vegetarian omelet with grits and biscuit. Omelet was stuffed with veggies, had two slices of cheese melted on top and a queso like cheese in the middle. Grits were perfect consistency. Drinks are included with the breakfast combos! I ordered a Diet Coke because I am not a coffee drinker and it was included. Great service. Will be back! read more

Food is good, but I had some racist remarks about my skin color when I went in. She asked if I was Hispanic cause my friends are and look the part. I'm lighter complexion and she said I was a fake Mexican and continued to go on about how certain things make me non Latino AND THEYRE HISPANIC OWNERS. I won't go back here. I'm in the service industry as well. A bartender to be exact. Some things you just keep to yourself. Cause this was unacceptable. (Curly headed woman at register was the one to be exact). Have a good day! read more

This place is quite a classic. I'm conflicted about reviewing it because it's always busy, especially for breakfast. Today we were there a little after 9:00 AM on Sunday and there was 1 table available. When we left an hour later there were people waiting. Spring Cafe has traditional food like chopped beef and biscuits and gravy. We have been going for several years and was locally and family owned. I appreciate that. I see the same waitresses so assuming it still is. The place looks like an old fashioned diner with a checkered floor. About a year ago they put in new lacquered tables. I think the place looks great. Most of the breakfast entrees include coffee. Steak and eggs was only $10.95 and I got 2 pieces of steak, potatoes, scrambled eggs and fruit because I didn't get toast (gluten free). My husband got a sausage omelet and asked for his hash browns well done. They were great. read more

Today, I have had enough of COLD EGGS and getting the wrong order. Cold eggs and greasy bacon. When I tell them about the cold eggs, they respond with NO THE FOOD IS NOT COLD. Today she gave me two orders of COLD EGGS. This has been happening a lot . read more

Ive eaten here about three times, and the food is consistently good. Everything feels homemade and made with love. I love the different styles of food as well as everything is made the way it should be. Great prices! Only down side is you may have to wait awhile to be seated, it's a small place. But totally worth it! read more

It was a decent breakfast place. The French toast cordon bleu was something we'd never seen before. The home fries could've been a little crispier, but they were really tasty. The price was decent for what we ate! read more

Love this place, anywheres there's locals and regulars is a must for me. We used to go here all the time when we lived closer. It was a nice to stop in since we happened dot be near. read more

This is a local breakfast and sandwiches eatery. Saturday morning at 8:30 the place was almost full. Seemed to be a lot of regulars. The staff was neatly dressed, polite, and efficient. My three egg omelet with ham was a plateful and pretty good flavor. Seems they used the processed cheese product on top (like I do on sandwiches at home). Think I would have appreciated real cheese melted inside the omelette. My guest had the sausage biscuits and gravy plate. Was more than she could eat. Think she was a little disappointed that it was more gravy than sausage. Servers kept the beverages full. Nothing fancy, just a good basic breakfast. read more

I eat here a couple of times a month. I've never had a bad meal. I do not have a usual order. I like to try different things and it never disappoints. I've had both breakfast and lunch orders and both were good. The service is always great. They are quick to take your order, no matter how busy they are. They are quick to get refills. The ambiance is that of a hometown diner. I always enjoy my experience. read more

We eat here on a regular basis. The food is good. There are daily lunch specials. It is always busy but the tables turn over rapidly. The wait staff is friendly and constantly in motion with fresh coffee, taking orders, delivering food, and cleaning the tables. Apparently they also do a brisk take out delivery business as well. read more

Love this place for breakfast ,everything is fresh and taste great. Never to busy so not a long wait

I love this place. It's always good service, good food all for a good price. I really enjoy their daily specials and the salad is very fresh. The breakfast is also great. Thank you for staying open though the pandemic and we will always recommend this place for a good meal. read more

Not my favorite place for a nice meal. They are reasonably priced with a great atmosphere. It appears clean. The staff is friendly and no wait time during my visits. Had three meals at the Spring Cafe within a 5 year span. Had the breakfast omelette and it was not very appetizing and another time had the scrambled eggs and corn beef hash and this meal was just ok. The barbecue chicken dinner special was the worst with the exception of the mashed potatoes. The barbecue sauce was not good and chicken was over cooked to dry and tasted awful. The green beans were bland. read more

Spring cafe is located not far from our office so once in awhile we either go to eat here or order from here. It's basic and that about covers it. Nothing spectacular. On a recent visit there were 4 of us at lunch and we received only 2 menus. I guess the other 2 were invisible. There is absolutely no decor whatsoever and the place is very small and not a place to occupy a table for very long as there are regulars that eat there. You pay at the counter and an elderly lady has to ring it up and the line can get very long at times so my suggestion is to put someone who doesn't get frazzled as easily at the counter for busy times. read more

It's ok... Coffee was warm, not hot. Food was a little bland needing more flavor. Atmosphere is what you'd expect from a greasy spoon. IMO for the money there are better places for breakfast read more

I just dove into a breakfast from Spring Cafe. I should have taken pics first, but I simply demolished it. I ordered the steak n' eggs with a side of both hash browns and home fries. The portions are enormous, and the food is delicious. I absolutely inhaled as much as I could, but I still have plenty of leftovers for lunch and dinner. This is definitely a go-to for down-home comfort breakfasts. I look forward to trying more of their delicious items! Thank you, Spring Cafe, now I'm putting myself down for a breakfast-induced Sunday nap! read more

This is a little bitty cafe in a big blue strip mall. It has four very good omelets served with a choice of sides, including spiced apples, grits, hash browns, and one other choice I forgot...the toast is also good and coffee or tea are included. It was under $11. I had the western omelet and it featured good diced ham, nothing too salty or fatty. There is American cheese singles melted on top rather than cheddar. The food is not going to win any James Beard awards, but there's nothing wrong with it. They open at 6. Before 7 a.m. your breakfast choices are limited to Panera, IHOP or Denny's. (Or there is a place in Wake Forest open at 4:00) After 7, I can suggest about five other places within 10 minutes of here. I cannot speak to the lunch choices, as I always go to the Italian place in this mall instead. read more

I quit going to this place years ago when it was rarely cleaned and I found mold in the spaghetti cheese shaker. Since then, they have gone under new management so I thought I would give them a second try. I ordered a vegetarian omelette and it came with NO shredded cheese inside the omelette and triangles of cheap generic American cheese on top of it. It was almost $9! Are you kidding me?? I will not go back nor would I recommend them. The costs are inflated and the quality is lacking. read more
