15 reviews for Village Cafe
We stopped in the Village Cafe for Brunch and enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. The decor is absolutely ridiculous and quite heavy on roosters and chickens. The eggs benedict was great. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was excellent. You can tell the orange juice is freshly squeezed, and not too expensive for a glass.
Service was quick and friendly.
Great place to visit with the kids because there is so much decor to look at...ok and they'll want you to buy everything. Very fun atmosphere overall and a great brunch location (luckily they serve breakfast all day!)
I'm glad I'd read the reviews here on Yelp before my visit because I happily ordered the French Pocket Toast. Wow. These are some jumbo pieces of French toast that have been stuffed with 3 cheeses (they don't list the cheeses but they are all sweet so I'm guessing cream cheese, marscapone and ricotta) and apricot jam before being rolled in granola and fried. Yummy.
Big menu, including eggs, pancakes, french toast, and omelettes. I had biscuits (which were cold), sausage, and the cafe breakfast potatoes, which were so crusted with spices that it was almost painful to eat them...and I like spicy things! I had to scrape some of it off to enjoy. The order of potatoes was so big that I shared with my family, who ordered egg combos and were pleased with their choices.
This place is also tchotchke heaven. It's like your nutty aunt 's house (the one who likes signs that say things like "You don't have to be crazy to work here but it helps" and pillows with "This house ruled by one spoiled cat") times a thousand.
Definitely something for everyone on the menu; next time I'd choose something aside from the biscuits and potatoes.

I love the Village Cafe for breakfast. You have to get there early or you will be waiting for a table on most summer weekends. During the week the wait time is shorter, but in any case, it is worth the wait. If you have to wain, look around at their decor, it is fun and great. A good restaurant needs more than decor to keep people coming back, and the Village Cafe has great food. I eat mostly breakfast there and there is plenty of choices. Overall a great place to eat.
This place is sooo good. I know the breakfasts are delicious or whatever, but I am not a breakfast-food person. (Seriously, I eat chili mac for breakfast at home.) I am here to tell you that lunch is also delicious. I had some kind of bean burger with cajun spices, and my boyfriend had a turkey cherry wrap thing, and they were both awesome. And the decor, as others have mentioned, is hilarious and weird. There aren't a ton of dining options in Egg Harbor, but the Village Café makes up for it.
Bad choice for dinner. We saw the menu and thought 'yum chicken pot pie'. Instead it was a watery broth that wasn't very flavorful at all and it was quite pricey for the small bowl it came in.
Hubby ordered a beef version of the pot pie and I think he had 2 or 3 teeny tiny pieces of beef. Plus service was ridiculously slow...refill on your drink...guess again.
We will not be back.
My favorite brunch spot in Door County
The food is worth the price. They don't kid around here. When you order a three-cheese-stuffed french toast, hold on, baby. You are going to melt! The first time that I went, I ordered the breakfast wrap. Yum. My s/o had the stuffed french toast. Let me tell you- that made for absolutely fantastic leftovers, even eaten cold!
The owner (I forget his name, ) constantly moves about, entertaining and engaging his guests. The walls are filled with kitchy stuff that's pretty much all for sale. The place fills up early, so the sooner the better. The next time I'm visiting the Door, I'm making a trip here for breakfast again.
Oh yeah- coffee's okay too. So's the cherry jam. Yum!

Village Cafe saved the day when we were desperately looking for breakfast after 11am in the 'off season' of Door County.
The food was good, my girlfriend had Heuvos Rancheros and I had French Toast (my favorite breakfast ever) and some breakfast potatoes. All of these were cooked capably and were very tasty. The potatoes were the best part of the meal for me.
I'd definitely go back.
Had lunch at the village cafe two years ago while on vacation and loved the food.
Our group of ten came here for breakfast at the end of our Door County trip. I have to say, I really enjoyed the food. The eggs benedict were to die for, and the gal I was sitting right next to had an omelette with cream cheese and crab stuffing that was phenomenal!
Lots of artwork from local artists is for sale here, which is always a bonus for me.
Minus one star because our waiter was kind of flaky. Yes, there were a lot of us, but I didn't get even one coffee refill. Not like I was asking him for his firstborn or something.
I stopped here on my way back to Chicago at the end of my road trip with my girlfriend. The decor is over the top I have to say. Pastels stuff everywhere. I had the french pocket toast. It tasted very good, but it wasn't a home run in my book. Though I have to say it was very filling. I would go there again.
Very excited to see lots of vegetarian options on the menu. Huevos Rancheros were pretty good (black beans are veg). The best part of my meal was the wheat toast and cherry jam. This cherry jam that they use is the best jam I've ever tasted!! They sell it, and I bought a couple of jars to bring home. Friend loved her Tuna Melt.

kind of the stand by breakfast-at-noon place in dc.
usually there's a long wait in the summer on weekends. during the week or in the winter, you can get a seat any time (plus, they're actually open in the winter, which is a big thumbs up from me).
the food is consistently good. i've had the omelettes numerous times and they are very tasty and come with a side of these delicious seasoned potatoes. the other meals don't come with these potatoes on the side (which is disappointing) and they actually cost like 3.50$ extra if you just get them a la carte (that's a lot!) so that's a bummer.
the eggs benedict are a favorite of my late grandpa. they always look delicious so i'd probably try those some time too (although *plug* if you stay at the village green lodge in ephraim, sue makes the hands down best eggs benedict EVER *end plug*). my sig o got a simple 2 eggs and bacon platter when we went there last weekend and it seemed good. it came with 4 slices of bacon so that's a lot.
i have to say sometimes i feel like the portions could be bigger. .. but i have kind of a big appetite, so maybe they're alright.
also, if you want sugary sweetness with your breakfast, try the hot chocolate. my cousin always gets this when we go and it's delicious. it's served in a huge mug and comes with like a mountain of whipped cream on top.
one star for consistently good food,
one star for those delicious potatoes, and
one star for being open in the winter.
always a classic brunch stop for me.
THE place for breakfast in Door County. Friendly and efficient service, great coffee, and plenty of artwork for sale on the walls so you can peruse while you wait. We've only gone to breakfast here, and everything is exceptional. The cherry or pumpkin pancakes, french toast, breakfast potatoes are wonderful. AND, this is one of the few restaurants that offers vegetarian breakfast sausages. Yum.
