My daughter gave it a 10 out of 10 I do also the food was great .. environment great...service great ... One thing I do not like about breakfast restaurants is when they use the rubber frisbee pre cooked sausage patties and other things ..you get none of that here everything is cooked on spot and seasoned great we will be back

This is a cute little place attached to a church community building. The staff are unusually chill and patient, like they're not under a lot of pressure, which is nice. We had the Fresh Fruit Plate, which is like a fruit and chicken salad combined with cottage cheese and a muffin. Pretty healthy meal. Then we also had the Meat Lover's Omelette, which was pretty good, but the standout here was the super tasty breakfast potatoes. Prices are very reasonable.

We had a wonderful experience here. We went in at 9am Saturday and were seated right away. Menu is full of yummy things to try. My wife tried the north end cafe breakfast and I had the apple pie waffle. It was hot and delicious.our waitress was attentive but not smothering.i think that it has enough room to accommodate larger groups around the corner. They had a full crew working.

Amazing food and service! Stopped by for brunch/lunch while visiting my daughter at Purdue. It was our first time, so we weren't sure what to expect. The food was excellent, tasty, and good portions. The service was also excellent, very friendly and prompt. Interesting decor with a musical instrument theme, and they had a fun little waiting area. I highly encourage you to stop by if you have a chance; we will definitely return when we are in town.

Have eaten here several times, all have been great experiences. However, today I had the Fruity Pebble French Toast and it was soooooo delicious 😋! Update: had the steak and eggs and it was absolutely amazing!

North End Cafe is an absolute hidden gem! Our group of 10 always comes here because they consistently have plenty of room to comfortably accommodate large parties without any hassle. The food is phenomenal—everything we have ever ordered has been incredibly delicious. Not only is the quality amazing, but you also get massive, generous portions for a fraction of the price you would pay anywhere else. ​The cafe is uniquely located inside a community center, which gives it a wonderfully vibrant, fun, and open environment. As an added bonus, there is a lovely gift shop right there to browse. If you are looking for great food, excellent value, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go!

North End Café is such a cute little delight! The food is genuinely great, and the atmosphere is so fun and adorable. It just makes you want to stay awhile. The staff were incredibly pleasant, and Brittney in particular was so kind and welcoming. Definitely ask her for the iced coffee with toasted marshmallow… it’s SO yummy and absolutely worth it!
