"I had a lovely experience at this cozy café on my first visit. I will definitely be returning with my friends for breakfast or brunch. While I was there, I ordered a coffee and a cheese danish, and I can't wait to come back. See you soon, Lathrop House Cafe!"
My fiancé and I have been passing by this restaurant on our way to work for the last two years, and this morning we finally had the opportunity to stop in. I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich, and it was absolutely delightful! To my surprise, it came with a side of potatoes and orange slices, which I thought would cost extra. The portion sizes were just perfect. The coffee is freshly ground and brewed to order, and you can really taste the extra care that goes into it. I had a salted caramel latte with oat milk, while he enjoyed a vanilla latte, and we both loved our drinks! The ambiance is charming, featuring a cozy upstairs lounge area with couches, as well as a backyard stage for conce...
First of all, I have never been to a restaurant that charges for coffee refills! When I mentioned this to the server, she said Starbucks does—but Starbucks is a coffee shop, not a restaurant. The food quality was inconsistent. I ordered a crepe omelet, which was really just a folded omelet with no crepe involved, but it tasted good. The breakfast potatoes were overly salty. We also tried a waffle that was just average, and a skillet dish that was also very salty. I expected a different atmosphere based on the website, which made it seem like dining in the rooms of a house (the building used to be a residence), but we ate in an open, somewhat chilly room.

As for the food, it was quite inconsistent. I ordered a crepe omelet (which is essentially just a folded omelet—no crepe involved), and that was quite tasty. However, the breakfast potatoes were overly salty. We also tried a waffle, which was just average, and a skillet that was also quite salty.
I had hoped for a different ambiance based on the restaurant's website, which made it look like the rooms of a house (it used to be a residence), but we ended up sitting in an open room that felt rather cold. I'm sure the outdoor area is pleasant during warmer weather.
The prices are a bit higher than average, but I might consider giving it another shot in the summer.
I used GrubHub to order 2 meals. The order arrived quicker then expected but unfortunately 1 of the meals was wrong. I contacted the business and the employee I spoke w/ was incredibly nice and understanding, she immediately offered to refund the cost of the meal that was made wrong. Within a few minutes I received confirmation she had did just that! Accidents happen but businesses arent always so kind and willing to correct their mistakes. I will be ordering again from Lathrop because of their commitment to customer service...oh and the food was great as well!!!

I was really looking forward to my visit, but my experience quickly went downhill. The iced latte had an unpleasant bitter aftertaste that I didn't like. As for the chicken and waffles, it was disappointing. I was presented with a big lump of fried dough and a small, dry piece of chicken. The waffle was soggy, undercooked, and unexpectedly bitter. Overall, it just didn’t live up to its price.
The service was excellent, and the outdoor seating area was pleasant. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing—bland and unappealing. I didn’t enjoy my first dish, so I tried a different one, but that didn’t satisfy me either. We left early, which is something I’ve rarely done. As someone who loves breakfast spots, I don’t think I’ll be coming back.
Charging extra up to 6.00 dollars if you have a second cup of coffee is just a bad business practice. Gosh such a lovely place and I'm sure this has driven away costumers. Typically a person has 2- 2 1/2 cups? I hope the best for the owners and workers here. They are very sweet. However, have chosen another restaurant based on this
I really enjoy the atmosphere of this place. There are plenty of areas to relax, including spots out front, inside the main area, in the den, on the porch, and even a backyard area. I'm interested to see what it's like during the colder months. The staff is friendly, and the coffee is always perfect. The prices are reasonable too.

The food at Lathrop House Cafe is absolutely fantastic, and the staff are consistently warm and welcoming. In the spring and summer, their outdoor dining area is stunning and makes for a wonderful meal setting. The peach mimosas are perfectly delicious—truly a standout. It’s a great spot to enjoy a meal and good company.
