Most Disliked
The main downside mentioned by diners is the limited parking options around Kafe, which can make visiting a bit inconvenient, especially during peak hours. Moreover, a few patrons noted that busy times can lead to slower service. Some wished for a more extensive menu that includes more vegetarian and vegan options to cater to diverse dietary preferences. Others experienced noise during busy evenings, especially when events are happening, which can detract from the overall dining experience. Overall, these minor inconveniences can be outweighed by the enjoyable food and ambiance.

Amazingggg place, Excellent attention and Awesome drinks. We were a group of 12. We were greeted, welcomed and ready to be cared for upon arrival. We visited 2:30pm on a friday. We ate the 30 tacos amazing carne asada, grilled chicken, pork ground taco platter. Where do you get Such a combination?? KAFE has it. The chipotle and green sauce were OMG SO GOOD. We also ordered Shrimp w garlic sauce, tostones w guacamole, chicken wings, burger w fries EVERYTHING WAS HANDS DOWN AMAZING. We were all So pleased and grateful with the service. The drinks were to die for stated my co workers ( i don't drink). The restroom Was super cute and super clean. They had a small outside space. The parking can be difficult but the L train is about 2 blocks away. If you are ever looking for an event space they can hold 100 People For $150 hr you bring your own everything just pay for space. Call the owner shes super kind.

I had a great brunch for my birthday! It was empty because it was a Thursday morning but It was still fun! I enjoyed the drinks and food! I loved the aesthetics!

Our waiter was lovely, he definitely attended to all of our needs and was very professional. The Cheeseburgers were amazing, they were very big and full of flavor - I actually regretted putting ketchup on my burger. The French fries were very crispy and so satisfying. 11/10🔥

**A Hidden Gem – Kafe Restaurant is a Must-Visit!** From start to finish, our experience at Kafe Restaurant was absolutely amazing. The owner personally took care of us and made sure everything was perfect—talk about hospitality! The food was out of this world—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The bartender was amazing & friendly, and seriously knows how to make a great drink! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. If you haven’t been to Kafe yet, you’re missing out. We can’t wait to go back!

We picked this place off google for dinner and was not disappointed. Had tacos, burgers and great cocktails. The service was great and very friendly. We liked it so much we went back and had brunch during the week and had the steak with the chimichurri and it was excellent along with a VERY yummy espresso martini. The staff even remembered us and gave us a great welcome. Highly recommend this place.
