The Wife and I eased into Siloam Springs the way a mule eases down a mountain trail -- deliberate, dignified, and carrying more curiosity than luggage. Two pups in tow, tails waggin' like they'd just heard supper bell ring twice, we found ourselves settlin' onto Broad Street, perched on one of those old brick corners that looks like it's seen more stories than a church pew on revival Sunday. Locals out front welcomed us the way small towns always should -- friendly, opinionated, and quick with recommendations. "Biscuits and gravy," they said with the confidence of folks who don't recommend lightly and definitely don't apologize for gravy. Outdoor seating sits right on that historic downtown bend, the kind of spot where time slows down and conversations meander like a creek after spring rain. Pet friendly? Friend, they didn't just tolerate the pups -- the staff made rounds like a county fair judge inspectin' prized livestock, offering scratches, compliments, and a few heartfelt dog discussions that ran deeper than most city council meetings. Now let's discuss the tea and coffee situation, because this is where I knew we'd struck honest ground. I overheard a first-day trainee (doing better than most third-year professionals, mind you) being instructed in the sacred ratios of a proper cappuccino: 2 oz espresso, 2 oz steamed milk, 2 oz foam. Praise be to the saints of crema and microfoam -- somebody in these hills still understands a cappuccino is not meant to arrive in a vessel large enough to baptize a raccoon. No vat-o-latte foolishness here. Food arrived quicker than gossip spreads at a quilting circle, and mercy... it did not disappoint. The breakfast biscuit sandwich stood tall and proud like a well-built fence post -- sturdy, dependable, and doing exactly what a biscuit sandwich ought to do. The biscuits and sausage gravy? Smooth as a fiddle tune drifting across foggy ridgelines. Balanced, rich, and comforting enough to make a grown man reconsider his afternoon productivity. I did briefly flirt with the open-faced avocado toast -- looked respectable, like it had spent time reading labels at Whole Foods -- but I stayed loyal to the biscuits and gravy. Some decisions are guided not by curiosity but by heritage. And then... chocolate gravy appeared on the menu. Friends, chocolate gravy is one of those old Appalachian traditions that feels like it was discovered accidentally during a blizzard and then protected like family lore ever since. Sweet, warm, nostalgic, and just rebellious enough to make nutritionists squint suspiciously. Cafe On Broad feels like the culinary equivalent of finding a front porch rocker that fits just right -- welcoming, unpretentious, and quietly confident in what it does well. If you find yourself wanderin' through Siloam Springs with a little time and a healthy appetite, pull in slow, bring the dogs, and order something with gravy. Preferably more than one gravy. It's what the mountains would want. read more

I've been to this Cafe before in the summer but the winter is also a great time to go. Arrived about 9AM, I ordered a black coffee which is very good quality, better than the green fish girl place and as good or better than 7 brew. It's worth coming down to the square, parking and walking in. I got a homemade square biscuit sandwich with fried egg-perfection--no brown bits, they were out of sausage so they put bacon and I'm so glad they did!! Best bacon ever--none of this store bought stuff!! Swiss cheese and i went for the Rosemary jam. With my coffee, the only thing that could have been better would have been a cozy fire to sit by!! Excellent place out of the way and worth it!! The service was great wonderful and they were very kind in every way. read more

Lots to approve upon here. The owners here are rude and vindictive, the food is overpriced and low quality, and the drinks are watered down and inconsistent. Shocked that this place is still open read more

Love, love, love, love, LOVE The Cafe on Broadway. I come here a lot to study but mostly I love their breakfast paninis and their lunch sandwiches and salads. This is also the only place I can find peach oolong tea, my favorite! They also have wonderful pastries and other little items at the front, I always get the special where I get 3 items and it's a reasonable cost for a lovely lunch. I am a huge fan and will continue to come in! read more

We are out of town and went there for the first time. We did not want anything really heavy and so we thought we would go here for maybe a sandwich or something along that line. My husband said we pulled up there about 6:35 PM and we both knew they closed at 7 PM. We walked in to look at the menu and order our food and the hostess, the young woman working the cash register told us,"Just to let you know, we are closing at 7 PM." The introductory conversation then went on something like this... I asked her, "Is it OK if we stay here and eat" and she responded, "Yes, as long as we're still here." I then asked "Are you going to leave us here," she let us know they weren't. At that point, had we not been out of town and wanted to get back to where we were going, we would've probably left. I was shocked and so was my husband! I ordered the quiche and my husband ordered a chicken salad sandwich with potato salad. My quiche was plentiful to me, it was a vegetable quiche and it very much reminded me of a hearty vegetable pizza. My apples and bananas that were cut up together were good and I enjoyed the first class of sweet tea. My husband said his chicken salad sandwich tasted average to him, at best, and would give it a two. He said the potato salad seemed like it was prepared well, but it was not his cup of tea. I think the initial introduction to the restaurant pretty much ruined it for us. The young man who prepared the food and brought it to us was pleasant and that was a plus. I had to ask for a refill on my tea and it did not taste like sweet tea the second time and so I just left it on the table. As a whole, our first time it was not a good experience. I don't think my husband every wants to go there again and I'm not sure what the family felt like that was coming in at 6:56 PM as we were getting ready to leave. read more

Ordered quiche for breakfast. It was excellent. Came with strawberries and bananas. These ladies also give back to the community

I stopped in for a quick breakfast and cup of coffee. The coffee was perfect and the scone was delicious. I was surprised at how comfortable it was in there. They have games, puzzles, and books to enjoy. I want to bring a friend next time and try out some new games. I will certainly be back. read more

Need to be able to give a 6 on Yelp. A 5 is given for generous portions of high quality food at reasonable prices served by genuinely nice people in a great ambiance. However, when a restaurant does all that plus the owner makes it part of the business to make a positive impact on the community, there needs to be an extra big star. Don't let the classic storefront dissuade you, this is a nice sized establishment with lots to offer. You can get a quick sandwich, or gather with friends in the back to play games while sipping on an adult beverage. Or you can order a cake for your next event and stock up on bulk Onyx or Arsaga's coffees. A must-stop, even if you have to drive off hwy 412 a bit. The Siloam downtown is very nice and inviting. I would suggest getting together with a few friends and spend some quality time. read more

The coffee and cookies were genuinely great -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't match. The cashier was unfriendly and extremely sarcastic, which really soured the experience. No matter how good the food is, it's hard to enjoy it when the front-line interaction is so unpleasant. read more

Really enjoyed this place after a journey wandering around downtown. The double shot did the trick pepping me up! The gluten free, dairy free lemon cupcake was light and fantastic, and my boyfriend's chocolate chip cookie and berry smoothie rocked. Great outdoor spot made a fun time for people watching. read more

"I'm so sorry ..." is the most common thing I keep hearing. There's a huge turnover in staff and it shows in their customer service. Two out of three visits we've had our orders wrong or items not brought out until we asked for them. The food is a high mediocre and would be acceptable if they could be more organized. The soups ate quite good, as is the tea selection One sandwich first came not gluten free then was replaced by a completely different item. Today the order was written down as not gluten free even though gluten free was the first thing from my wife's mouth. read more

Really, really good coffee. We got five very different drinks (a beer, an americano, an iced decaf vanilla oat milk latte, a hot latte, etc). All of us loved our drinks and my decaf latte was delicious. The cashier was super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great, the cookie we shared was so tasty. Next time I'm visiting my folks in Siloam Springs we'll stop here again! read more

BLT with soggy bacon, soggy lettuce, unripe tomato, what can I say? Also got a monte cristo sandwich. Now google says a monte cristo sandwich is and I quote: "A Monte Cristo sandwich is an egg-dipped or batter-dipped ham and cheese sandwich that is pan or deep fried." This was ham and cheese sandwich put on a grill to get the grilled marks on the bread. The ham was the lowest quality ham that could be bought. Huge disappointment! Trying to give local places my business but can't do it with this kind of quality and disappointment. No one ever asked how was the food? When we left no one said thanks for coming, nothing, come back and see us, nothing....silence as we walked through the restaurant and out the door. Kinda glad they didn't though because my husband said if they asked he was going to tell them it was the worst BLT he's every tried to eat in his life. read more

Nice local establishment and a great place to grab a coffee and scone. Staff is not particularly helpful, but nice relaxed atmosphere.

Has to be the best ham and cheese sandwich I've ever had. Really nice place and the food was amazing. read more

The Cafe On Broadway - a salad and fries - Cafes Near Me - Siloam Springs, Arkansas

I'm sure these nice people mean well but be prepared to pay too much for too little and wait too long to get it.

Very rude. The owner harassed my daughter and her friends because they didn't order fast enough. She told them if they did not order they had to go. (They planned to study and order coffee etc ) she then trespassed them! What a nut job! Would NOT recommend wasting your hard earned money here. There are far better places to go. The coffee and baked goods are over priced and meh at best anyway. read more

I've been waiting almost 45 min for 2 sandwiches. I feel like they need a better system. Maybe 2 people working on lunch? I'm hoping the sandwiches are worth it.. read more

It is such a delightful little cafe/ bakery in our beautiful downtown area. The food is always delicious, especially the baked goods!! The staff is amazing. Go check them out. You will love it! read more

This place has the vibe. The staff is super nice, the drinks are very good. They have a diverse food selection. I like coming here when I have time, but when you have a family and kids and no drive through zipping through isn't really an option. It's definitely a place to unwind when you got the time as a family man for sure. read more

Amazing! We go here all of the time and get a chicken sandwich! That are so good! Their chocolate cake is the bessssssst!

I'm in love with this little shop! Bakery! Sandwiches! Coffee! The owner & staff were all amazing. Fast friendly service. We had a group of 5 in the dining room and they were very attentive and patient with our littler ones. The food was beautifully presented and so delicious! I can't say enough for the quality, the presentation, quantity and the friendly service. Will most definitely recommend and visit again when I'm that way again. read more

The Cafe On Broadway - Cafes Near Me - Siloam Springs, Arkansas

I would ride my motorcycle from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Siloam Springs (90 minutes each way) just to visit this little gem. It's a coffee shop/sandwich shop/book store. Every time I went in I felt welcomed and at home. I can't comment on their coffees because I don't drink coffee but they have a good selection of tea. I can also attest to their food being quite tasty. If you've never been to Siloam Springs, there's not much there to see. But if you do happen to be there, make a stop here and relax for a bit with a bite to eat and a drink. You'll leave recharged and ready to continue on. read more

A pot of tea is the way to go!! Paninis are also incredible!! However, coffee in particular is not this establishments strong suit.

the best in siloam! soups, killer sandwiches, and desserts!! wonderful atmosphere for a chat date, business lunch, or study group.

One of my favorite places in Siloam... Great coffees in the morning...great salads (the chef salad with the cilantro ranch dressing is my favorite salad anywhere)...good panini's... They always have a daily special...usually a soup or an entree, and are almost always excellent. Neat little place in downtown Siloam...definitely worth visiting! read more

I have had Cafe On Broadway cater two open houses for me and the food was fantastic! Best cookies ever!

Hip environment. Yummy coffee. The staff was nice. The service was fast. We will be returning

What a quaint little local coffee shop. Stop while in SS and was not disappointed. The latte was very good and the s ones were fresh and yummy. The service was extremely pleasant and engaging. They also offer alcoholic coffees and drinks! read more

Food was average. Took almost 30 minutes to get a panini and a Mediterranean salad. The panini was cold, they did not make the salad the way requested (without onions and tomatoes) and was missing olives. They got the drink order wrong, never offered a refill of tea, and in-fact never even checked on us. I had to go to them and ask for the correct drink for my wife and then again for a refill of tea. I could understand some of this if the place was busy, but it was completely dead. The potato salad was above average but that's the best compliment I can come up with. I think the place has great potential but needs some management/leadership. read more

We stopped in for lunch on our way through town. What an absolutely charming downtown location! We loved sitting outside under the bistro table shaded by an umbrella. The young ladies running the cafe were so pleasant! We thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches, a turkey club and a chicken melt. The side of potato salad was light, fresh and perfect! Even the iced tea was great. We finished up by sharing a fabulous peanut butter cookie, one of the best I've ever had. If life finds us driving through Siloam Springs again, we'll be sure to stop back in! read more

love love love. Cilantro dressing? Oh, my, it should be bottled. The sandwiches are hearty and well crafted. The pastries vary and ain't nothin' wrong there. Nice people to boot, the owner is lovely, approachable and accountable. You can feel these folks are kind as soon as you walk in the door. I will probably eventually try everything. read more

Really nice place! Great coffee and muffins. They serve sandwiches with the most amazing potato salad...so good!

Drove to SS specifically to eat here. I used my debit card. I didn't notice that the clerk didn't return it to me. I noticed it when I got to my next destination. I looked up the number on their Facebook page, the number was not working. When I got back she had it, said she meant to bring it out to my table. I told her that I was there almost a half hour. "We got busy". I told her that was an excuse and that I wouldn't be back. She told me to have a nice day. For a mediocre blt panini with paper thin precooked bacon don't bother. There are so many other better options to eat in Siloam Springs. 29, Ziggywurst. The potato salad was good. Should have asked where they purchased it. read more
