My experience here was absolutely amazing. I came here with a «party» of 12, and our waitress Christi was beyond friendly. There was no long wait time for our drinks or food. Our requests were met with a pleasant smile and polite response. I’m not a huge restaurant fanatic, but I would definitely recommend this Café/restaurant to other people!!! Thanks again for the wonderful experience Christi.

Large breakfast menu. Good food for reasonable price. We went for Saturday morning breakfast and the place was packed but we were waited on quickly by friendly wait staff.

I have been here a couple of times, but the last time was definitely not the best. The waitress was slightly rude and acted like we were wasting her time when we were deciding what to order, then when the food arrived, it wasn’t the best. It is a little pricey, but I suppose the quantity is good even if the quality sucks.

Went for breakfast at about 10am on a Saturday and the place was packed but we only had to wait a minute or two to be seated. The menu is big and prices are on line with other diners in the area. Despite being busy our food came out quickly. I had an omelet with hashbrowns and toast as well as a full order of biscuits and gravy. Omelet was good and the hashbrowns were nice and crispy. The biscuits and gravy were good, but I don’t think they came with enough extra gravy. Most places load up the plate, but there was barely enough to cover the biscuits. Maybe they were running low with as busy as it was? Overall the food and service was good and I will likely go back

One of the best breakfast places I’ve been too! It was bustling when we got here but we were seated quickly. We got our coffees right away. The coffee was fresh, tasty, and our cups never empty. We didn’t wait long for our food either. I ordered the Irish Benedict, something I never heard of before. 2 poached eggs over corned beef hash and an English muffin. It was filling and yummy. My husband ordered the white forest omelet: egg whites with fresh veggies. And a side if potato pancakes. Everything was so flavorful and unique for an ordinary looking diner. We also got buttermilk pancakes with our order that were fluffy and sweet. The place is clean and full of friendly folks. We would definitely come again.

I went for breakfast and was blown away by the portions and the variety of the menu. Crepes, waffles, eggs Benedict, salmon, chorizo –f it can imagine a breakfast they probably have it and a lot of it. I sampled some of the bacon, sausage, and wheat toast and all were good. For myself, I had the blueberry, strawberry, and banana crepes and it was fantastic. The service is just as good as the food. New must stop for breakfast in the Kalamazoo area.

I really love their home made toast and omelet. It’s very different than others. If you come here gull lake. You must try it. Remember Sunday morning will be full of people.

My new favorite place for breakfast. I love the Spanish skillet and order it every time! Everything else I have tried is also delicious. Portions are huge(always have take home) and service is attentive and kind.

What a huge menu!!! The menu was enormous with lots of options for everyone. I went for the fritatta which was the size of the plate and came with a side of fruit and toast. The food was nothing special but was still good.

Huge menu but I haven’t had anything I didn’t really like. They’ve got some adventurous stuff too, brisket eggs Benedict for example. Portions are big and prices are cheap, this is a very good spot for breakfast. Wait staff has always been great.

Went here after staying the night in the Hampton in after a show the the State theater. It hit the spot after a light night full of beers. Very clean, the waitstaff was amazing and fast. The food was good but not 5 star. I had the eggs Benedict on the potato pancake and was disappointed that the pancake tasted like it came from a frozen box not homemade.

Do yourself a favor. Next lunch hour, get here and order the Cobb salad. Yes, I’m a guy and yes, I’m giving a restaurant 5 stars because of a salad. All aspects of this place exceed my expectations, the service is attentive but not overbearing, it’s clean but no hospital clean, prices are fair, and portions are very big. The Cobb salad literally comes with what has to be a pound of chicken on top. Tons of protein and veggies and it eats like a meal. I have a huge appetite and I’m always full and the ladies that order lunch in my office routinely make two meals out of their salads or sandwiches. I don’t know how this place makes money with their reasonable prices and big portions but I’ll keep coming back! Good work!

This is the best breakfast I’ve had in kalamazoo by far in the longest time. Great prices, great service, and a variety of large portions. The Avacado bacon omelette and cheese grits were delicious!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I went for breakfast a couple weeks ago and cannot wait to go back. The food was reasonably priced and everyone enjoyed their meals. I highly recommend the breakfast quesadilla. This is a perfect blend of cheese, chorizo, eggs and vegetables. There was definitely enough to take some home for later. The crêpe options look delicious.

Every time we have been to the Kalamazoo airport, I see this place and I think, «We should try that place.» And today we finally did! We went here about 10:30 on a Monday morning. The place was about half full, and we were seated immediately. It took me a while to decide what to order since there are a lot of choices! I ended up getting the Irish benedict, which was good although I wish there was more corned beef hash on it. I could just mildly taste it because of the egg and hollandaise. My husband ordered the pork chops which came with hash browns, 4 eggs(!), and 2 pancakes. Needless to say, we were able to take a lot of food home. Service was great. The prices were reasonable. We also really liked that it was a pretty decent sized place so there was a good amount of space between tables. We will be back!

The value’s there, so I guess that’s why I’m giving it four stars. I got the Spartan Omelette… well, I wasn’t expecting it to be so damn gigantic. Also, the rye toast I got, seemed to be on steroids. I got fruit instead of hashbrowns(I think for a dollar extra), and got a good portion of fruit. The watermelon had seeds in it, but whatever. The omelette was alright, but it’s kind of hard to really screw one up. While Café Mali far from had the best breakfast I’ve ever had, it’s quite good, and the portions are gigantic… which I suppose could also be a downside, but none of it’s truly expensive. I will say to NOT get the corned beef. I didn’t get it, but the waitress said it was canned… yeah, that’s sort of nasty…

Giving 4 stars even though had to send something back. Interior bright, clean, and as cheerful as the staff. Nice basket of bread, muffins, and crackers to start. Coffee good. Service prompt. Hannah was very engaging with my 6 year old girl. My entrée looked good, but smelled«off». At first I thought it was the butter or sauce but after a small«test bite» I was sure I shouldn’t eat it. Hannah came over right away after signaling her and took the dish and my order for something else. The replacement came within minutes. She must’ve apologized at least 3 times. I told her that this was the first time I’ve sent food back which she replied, «Yeah, being a waitress, I’ve never done that either, but you were totally right about that dish.» Great to admit the mistake; I think a lot of establishments would’ve argued first. Definitely will go back, either visiting Kalamazoo area or passing by(just off of I-94). Menu is big so lots to try.

Looks can be deceiving. The simple exterior and cozy diner atmosphere may look like«Denny’s like», but the menu has amazing choices. The Bananas Bread is an example of a well-balanced richness. French toast with fresh fruit, rich sauce, and a not to dense bread was amazing.

Torn between a breakfast quesadilla, stuffed French toast and potato pancake benedict, I went with the latter. Eggs were perfect. Hollandaise was glorious, and being accompanied with fresh tomato slices was a perfect balance for a simple but perfectly put together meal. Portions perfect, was able to leave feeling comfortable. Service was perfect and everyone was very friendly. Glad to have another solid breakfast spot in the area.
