Checked out this place because it was close by. Very friendly people there and the service is great! Lots of menu items that are a good bang for the buck. The hungry man meal I ordered was huge! The pancakes especially. I was expecting the run of the mill regular sized pancakes but these went to the edge of the plate. Haha I tried my best but sadly couldn’t finish everything. Worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Pretty great breakfast place! The service was friendly, if kind of slow at checking up on you; they never checked if I wanted a refill on my drink although I was there for an hour. The food was good; I ordered the hungry man's breakfast, and my goodness, I was not hungry enough. The pancakes were the size of my head, and quite good. The bacon and sausage and eggs were all excellent. One of my co-workers ordered one of the omelettes, and that was enormous as well. Will likely return!

Amazing service and delicious food! Went to the Centre Cafe (Nan's Cafe) for the first time on a Saturday. The waitress was very nice and the space is actually spacious. They have booths and tables. I went with a toddler and the place is very kid friendly. Food arrived about 10 minutes after we ordered, which is super fast. Everything we ordered was delicious and the fruit bowl we ordered were fresh which is a plus! I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a nice spot to have bre

Nice breakfast spot. They tell you when you come in to sit wherever you want. The service is fast and the food is good. My favorite is eggs over easy with bacon and hash browns and dark rye toast. I also love their generous serving of orange juice! If you don't like butter on your toast, do them the favor to ask ahead of time for dry toast. When walking in or out of the restaurant, be aware of the cars going by because there is a corner where the cars turn sometimes faster than you would like.

I had an amazing experience at Nan's Cafe (the Centre Cafe) on Saturday! The service was fantastic, and the food was delicious. The waitress was incredibly friendly, and the spacious seating area made it very comfortable. They have both booths and tables available. I visited with a small child, and I really appreciated how child-friendly the environment was. Our food arrived in just about 10 minutes after placing the order, which I thought was impressively quick. Everything we tried was delicious, and it was a nice touch that the dishes were all fresh. I definitely recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a lovely spot for a family breakfast. No complaints at all!
