Karen's Little Cafe

Perfect breakfast every time. Everything is always good just how it should be. Everybody that works there is wonderful also

Amazing place. So far, every dish I've tried tastes amazing. Their poached eggs are perfect, which takes alot of skill to perfect. The hog dogs are crunchy and their bread is super soft on the Philly cheese streaks. The owners are super sweet. The coffee here is really good too. Would recommend this place.

We were visiting from N.Y. and decided to have brunch here. Grandma was the sweetest lady ever. She was exceptional. She took the time to get to know us and talk to us. We loved the service here. Absolutely loved this place. The food is delicious! Everyone should try this place. Service and food was incredible!

Very good breakfast..nice people and great service.

Great little cafe, food was great, fresh flavors

Absolutely a GREAT place to stop for breakfast/brunch! Stopped here for brunch with a family friend, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their lattes! Probably the best place locally I've found for a REAL latte, and it makes for a great place to just relax for a meal because of it's quiet and comfy atmosphere. The staff are VERY attentive and very friendly as well. Be sure to stop by and check them out!!!

Great small town Cafe. Service is slow, cause they are understaffed, but Great customer service by the father of the owner. Brekkie was good. I will be back. Cute little place

Love Karen's as a casual breakfast and lunch spot in Lincoln. I typically have one of the hot dogs or BLT's and might suggest they "create" a Chicago dog with classic ingredients shown in the photo attached. Thanks for the great food and excellent, excellent service.

Had lunch few times, local place with fresh and delicious dishes. Very generous sizes and great service.

The waitress was very pleasant. The atmosphere was comfortable. We ordered waffles with eggs and bacon and a patty melt with fries. Large portions cooked perfect and plated nicely. Was delicious. $25 for the meal. Not including drinks.

Super glad i found this place!! My daughter had the mickey mous pancake and LOVED IT!! I had the california egg benedict and it was soo good!! We can't wait to go back and try other breakfast items and their lunch!! Great food and great service!

We took our daughter inlaw and grand children here and it was perfect. We fell in love with the owner and staff, the breakfast was very tasty and the order was right when brought out to us. The price was competitive and did we mention we loved it? We loved this quiet little place. If you go by it stop and eat.

This establish has everything you look for in a business: kind workers, great food, fast service, and a welcoming environment. I can not recommend this place enough, just kept coming back. Get your self to an ATM (cash only business) and give it a try.

Their food is Delicious, service is excellent. I recommend Karen’s Cafe for breakfast and lunch. My favorites are the Breakfast burrito and the Philly cheesesteak. Yummy

Needed a quick bite and I’m so glad I stopped here. I ordered a coffee and a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. The food was fantastic quality. Absolutely delicious, and the gentleman who took my order was very very friendly. I will absolutely be returning

Very surprised at how good the food is. Stopped by on a whim for a quick breakfast and got more than that. The food was wonderful. Service was fast and polite and the price is perfect! We will be coming back for sure! Thank you awesome people at Karen's Cafe!

I wandered into Karen’s Little Cafe expecting a modest breakfast and left convinced Karen might be some kind of culinary sorceress. Let’s talk about the 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy—and by “1/2 order,” I assume Karen means “half the size of a carb-based asteroid.” Fluffy, buttery biscuits were smothered in creamy, peppery gravy that whispered sweet Southern nothings to my soul. I’m still dreaming about it. My cardiologist probably is too. Then came the corned beef hash with 4 eggs—yes, FOUR eggs, because I live dangerously. The hash was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and clearly made with real love, or possibly black magic. The eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them, which almost never happens. Either Karen has telepathic abilities, or she actually listens to orders. Revolutionary! The staff was friendly, the coffee was strong enough to raise the dead, and the whole place has that cozy, lived-in charm that says, “Yes, we will feed you until you question your life choices in the best way possible.” If you haven’t been to Karen’s Little Cafe, fix your life and go. But wear stretchy pants—you’ve been warned.

Well let’s just say this places gives MUCH. Lunch ready for the road. Fast friendly service. Lots of locals so you know it’s consistently excellent. Owner super friendly. Thanks love Canadians

First time we tried Karen’s Little Cafe for breakfast, and we loved it! Our hash browns came out exactly as ordered (crispy), and the corned beef eggs Benedict was delicious. Service was great too!

great little american diner - definitely coming back! : ) [recommended: denver omelet]

Karen's Little Cafe is a nice little neighborhood cafe. The staff were especially nice and we were well attended. The food was very good. My only issue, although small, was that the bill we receive was not an itemized bill. I like to look over the bill especially when there is often an unspecified service charge or tip already added. We will definitely go again and I'll ask for an itemized bill.

The service was excellent! I loved the food, I'll bring more friends next time!

A small family run cafe that I have been to twice recently. Both times were for breakfast and both times were just old school breakfast perfection. Omelette and pancake perfection AND both times my toast was actually hot. We all know most places just serve browned bread that was toasetd before you even arrived and served at room temp. Going to try Karen's Little Cafe for lunch next. I am optimistic that it will be excellent.

Great cafe. They are happy, make great food and just a great vibe. He accommodated my gluten issue and adapted the vegetarian burrito for me and it was delicious. My husband had the corned beef hash and it is excellent. Highly recommended.

This is a perfect small neighborhood cafe serving breakfast and lunch until 2:30 each day. A comfortable place to have a conversation while you eat. Serves all the standards. Worth a trip out of the way

Small local place Great food, service was good Prices were average Will revisit

Great café with a genuinely happy, welcoming vibe. The team was accommodating about my gluten restriction and modified the vegetarian burrito for me, and it turned out delicious. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and said it was excellent. Highly recommended.

We were greeted with a super friendly staff and great service. I didn't even know this part of Lincoln and found this little gem and decided to get some lunch with my mom. She got a nice BLTA sandwich with order of fries and macaroni salad and she finished almost all of it. I opted for a cheeseburger and fries and was full with just the fries. The refills on drinks were on point and they were there for anything you needed and very attentive. Such a nice local place. Cash only right now so be prepared.

Karyn’s Little Café is such a gem! I ordered the Casper chili cheese dog and my husband had the French toast — both were absolutely amazing. You can taste the love in every bite. The service was truly perfect, the kind that makes you feel like you’re sitting at the family table… only better. We left already talking about what we want to try next. Highly recommend this cozy spot!

I was out in Lincoln recently visiting my brother. After a quick Google search, I suggested we visit this restaurant. Tyler Brooks, our server, was attentive, informative, courteous and delivered our food exactly as ordered. They have a great selection of breakfast choices, and I would highly recommend this restaurant for a very satisfying meal and experience! We ate out on the patio. Tyler did an especially great job of setting up a table for us, making sure it was spotless and had our hot coffee delivered immediately. Throughout the meal, he checked in with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and made sure we had everything we needed. My brother and I got to relax, catch up and take our time enjoying our great breakfast selections. Keep up the good work. I look forward to visiting during my next trip out from Colorado!

We just went here for the first time and everyone was so friendly!! Food was great. Will definitely eat here again!

Such a wonderful experience! The staff super friendly. Great portions, delicious coffee too! Can't wait to come back!

The ABSOLUTELY best place to get AWESOME service and AMAZING food. Always have the best time every time I go in. Food is always so fresh and delicious.

This cafe was very cute! I was the first one to try their new summer time cocktail (no alcohol) and it was amazing! You can choose from many different flavors. I will say they give you quite a bit of food so be prepared. I got the eggs Benedict and it was perfect. I definitely recommend this place.

Large and fluffy pancakes are worth! Gravy is also good, and comes on a variety of menu items. Nice little place to grab some diner-level grub.

So wonderful, but kinda expensive for me. All of the food is delicious tho! Breakfast lunch, can't go wrong! Very busy on the weekend so, it's a good idea to place your order ahead of arrival.

A great little diner kind of off the beat and path . Eggs Benedict was good hollandaise sauce was good. Needed a tad bit more lemon but over all the food was definitely good. Service was very good and the ambiance was quaint. All in all this is a place that you should make an effort to go to at least once.

Karen's Little Café was the okayest café I've been to in awhile. We had a scramble with diced potatoes, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers and cheese (I don't remember the name) which came with scrambled eggs and toast; We also ordered a pancake; biscuits and gravy; and two espresso drinks. Everything was good- not great, not terrible. Prices were very reasonable, service was subdued but decent. I found the decor to be a bit odd and eclectic, there didn't seem to be a lot of thought put into it. I would go here again if I was hungry and in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

Meh. Nothing salted. Smaller menu with basic fare. My wife didn't get her coffee refilled until we were leaving. The place was cold which is not a good mix with breakfast foods. Portions were good and prices were OK. Better places in town and won't be returning.

Did a phone order for Pick up and person taking the order magically didn’t write it down our items . Went for the pick up kind of pointless to do phone orders with this company. I won’t be giving them business

I'm sure the food and the atmosphere is great but the service was trash. Went in on my lunch. Was immediately rushed to order. The guy literally threw the menu as I handed it back to him. My total was 17 dollars. The man said same price as mcdonalds and told him that was incorrect and he said you can go eat there then and handed me my card back. Didn't get to try the food. Sucks but o well... good luck to whomever tries this place
