Absolutely phenomenal breakfast at Bradley's Corner Cafe. I ordered the biscuits and gravy special with hash browns and two eggs, and I'm not exaggerating when I say these were the best biscuits I've had in my life. Light, fluffy, buttery perfection -- the kind of biscuit that ruins all other biscuits for you going forward. The gravy was spot-on, and everything on the plate was cooked exactly how you hope breakfast will be. My youngest went with the pork tenderloin sandwich, and it was meaty, crunchy, and legit impressive -- not one of those thin, sad tenderloins. This one delivered. My wife and daughter ordered two eggs with sausage and pancakes, and those came out cooked to perfection. Fluffy pancakes, great sausage, and eggs done right. This place absolutely nails comfort food breakfast. No gimmicks -- just really, really good food done right. Would 100% recommend and will be back. read more

This cafe/diner is the real deal! Let's start with the magical words, "breakfast served all day," and then continue with a list of about twenty kinds of pie!!! I enjoyed the breakfast quesadilla for lunch - and took home half to enjoy tomorrow. Added a piece of delicious peach pie (in a brilliant move, I traded half of my slice for a sample of my friends strawberry rhubarb) My friend ordered the hot turkey sandwich. Everything was delicious and the server was cheery and kept the drink refills coming. The only thing stopping me from sampling my way through the menu is I'll have a hard time not repeating my original order, I enjoyed it so much! read more

$5 for all lettuce salad, Philly so greasy tore of half the bread dripping grease. Service was decent. Mediocre diner fare is being generous, but may be the only eatery nearby for locals. Perhaps breakfast is better. Large menu. Happy to support local cafe. read more

This place in a simple corner in NOTO but their breakfast and lunch is down home great food and a great staff. They have my favorite Bisquits and gravy. They have added the extra building if you have not been there for a while. I would urge you to try it. read more

Bradley's IS the diner you've been looking for, and conveniently located in NOTO, so fun browsing for before or after you eat. (Check store hours.) We had the pancakes, breakfast potatoes, and an excellent omelette. Loved the bacon. Great service, good prices, clean restrooms. We are planning to go back for a burger and a cheesesteak asap. read more

Everyone is so nice and welcoming, food was exellent and happy with the veggie scramble. Definitely a place to stop by for breakfast.

Pies! We went here on a busy weekday morning and had the best breakfast. I was facing the pie list and we ended up with a pie to take home. Delicious food and such friendly people and service, this restaurant is a Topeka gem! read more

I want so bad to give this place a positive review but as you can see, THEY ARE NEVER OPEN AS STATED ON YELP! Food: who knows? Service: terrible they claimed they are open but they are not. Ambiance: good question? read more

Stopped in god brunch, it was full of people watching experiences.... The gal who took our drink order was sweet, the lady who took our food order was not all there. She kept spacing out and staring outside. Food was okay. Ordered an omelette and pancake' since it said their own recipe. Both were okay, nothing to go back for or recommend to anyone Atmosphere was dated. read more

Great tasting breakfast, eggs done well my hot water was perfect brewed hot tea, wonderful service with a smile!

Stayed overnight in Topeka and found this by googling breakfast spots nearby. Cute restaurant, fun menu, seemed a little understaffed. Coffee was very acceptable and the food was great. read more

Great food! The pies are awesome - just like grandma used to make!! Would highly recommend!

This morning during my delicious and satisfying breakfast experience at Bradley's Cafe, I overheard a conversation between one of their waitresses and one of their regular customers. The elderly man asked, "Where is the waitress who always waits on me?" The young waitress, Jaylee, said, "She no longer works here; but you have me." She then comforted him with a kind hug. I felt her genuine concern for this man, and I am sure he did, too. What a beautiful and heartwarming sight to see. I thanked her for being so kind to this man. My experience with Bradley's Cafe, since coming to Topeka three years ago has always been a very positive and enjoyable culinary experience. The food is great, the cafe ambiance is quite Californian (my home state), and the people are genuine and authentic, like Ms. Jaylee. I have consistently found this Bradley's Cafe place to be friendly and welcoming. Courtesy, professionalism, and kindness have consistently been a main stay of Bradley's Cafe. I am happy to be a Bradley's Cafe customer and a devoted NOTO Arts & Entertainment connoisseur. read more

Food hot and fresh. Customer service you just don't see much anymore. Well worth the money, not some food service garbage you get today in a lot of restaurants that you could buy in the frozen section of the grocery store and cook in a microwave. Well done, bravo! read more

Great local diner with fresh food, nice serving sizes, and friendly staff! And, if you love pie... you will love theirs.

They don't have pie available until 10:30/11am. Needless to say I didn't get any pie...

Nothing gluten free or safe here. Nothing is safe in topeka. We go to bibibops totally gluten free wheat free restaurants in kc. Flour in air causes us to use epipens read more

Good food and portions. Has that older diner vibe, service was friendly as well. Food was a bit greasy but delicious nonetheless. Pie was great, definitely recommend if you're ever in the NOTO arts district. read more

We used to come here quite a bit and especially for my favorite chocolate peanut butter pie. Have not been back since they changed owners. Finally got my pie after they've been out almost every time we've been there or just didn't make any not sure. And it certainly was not the same as it used to be. The crust tasted on the stale side and it was sitting in liquid when I got it home which shows it was a little bit older. Used to be over 2 inches thick on top, and as you can see in the picture I will post, there were barely any on it.the flavor was OK expecting experiences there. They gave me one tiny piece and one normal piece and I got charged for two full slices so for $10, I expected a little bit more. read more

Bradley's Corner Cafe - Sad chocolate peanut butter pie. Just not the same anymore. - American Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

This place used to be much better but maybe the staffing issues have caused problems. We ate there for breakfast and it wasn't as good as I was used to and expecting. It is sad and I hope they get back to their good quality soon. read more

Placed a take out order here and tried a new dish. I arrived early and was asked to take a seat while my order was finished. Multiple staff asked if I wanted a water or anything else while I waited, so I was impressed by the staff and their service. I ordered the biscuits and gravy special, while my friend ordered the full biscuits and gravy, then added eggs and hash browns. My meal was perfect on the portion size; enough to feel full, but not lethargic. Her meal looked amazing, but would have resulted in a nap afterward for me if I'd ordered it. The hash browns and eggs were good, but the biscuits and gravy stood out. I'll keep exploring the menu, but would definitely order this dish again. read more

While eating our waitress reached over my food and my husband's to grab a cup without even asking or saying anything. We planned on trying their pie and she dropped off our check after dropping off our main food and never came back to the table. Maybe came to the table a total of 3 times and that was it. I would understand if they were swamped and were running around but there were not a lot of people in the cafe. My husband's steak had no flavor at all and was not cooked evenly at all. My biscuits and gravy were cold and had no flavoring. Just overall would not come back. read more

Pretty good. The person who left the review about the pecan pie helped me decide on this venue to meet up with B and G. B had the strawberry rhubarb pie a la mode, and I took back the pecan pie....to be continued read more

This place was highly recommended for breakfast. So we wanted to try it out. I was not impressed. No sign saying to seat yourself and no one said anything. The waitress gave our food to someone else. Then when she gave us our food, they didn't give us a biscuit we ordered, bacon we ordered, powdered sugar on the French toast was requested like the menu states and it didn't come with powdered sugar, and she didn't give us syrup. I ordered the strawberry French toast, and all it was--was a cup of thawed out frozen strawberries to put on my French toast. The French toast wasn't that great. The biscuits and gravy wasn't great, the hashbrowns weren't cooked very well. Not to mention the service/staff was not entirely friendly. Overall, I wouldn't come back. read more

Went this morning. Not very happy. Picked one of the breakfast items with no eggs because I cannot eat eggs. And it came out full of eggs. Was going to ask a worker but they were alllll over the place I saw my server probably 3 times in total and even asked for my check and never got it. Found a different server and finally paid and left. There were only 3 other tables. Kind of upsetting. will not be going back. First time we went it was a bit better but I decided to give them a second chance. Pretty bad decision on my part. The attitudes from the servers was just not a welcoming experience at alll. read more

It was the reviews that lead me here, so it's only fair I leave one. We stopped here on our route back to CA. We stopped in Flagstaff, AZ for a week and just couldn't stop thinking about the Pecan pie we had. We had another week off work, so we decided to turn around and call in an order for 5 more pies. I waited to review for so my mom could try them, and it passed her highly critical taste in food. My bf's family loved it too. Good portions here. Their biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've ever had. My bf liked whatever he ate, and their grilled chicken sandwich was delicious. My only critique is that they used the cheap, plasticky slices of cheese on my omelette which really lowered the quality of an otherwise good omelette. But everything else is so great about this place i cant ding them a star for it. Can't wait til we're travelling the U.S again so I can get more of those biscuits and pie read more

I know at first glance of walking into this place some people may think it is time to turn around because I have just walked into some hole in the wall. But listen! Only one word gravy... maybe the best gravy I have had hands down in a long time. read more

The food was very good! Mainly different breakfasts offered all the time, lots of different sandwiches, not many entrees, big case of large selection of all types of fancy pies. I ordered the special? They said barbecued beef sandwich, salad and a side dish., Our group was about 12 people from the Burlington rec center, we had called the day before to check. The whole cafe was very crowded, Not enough servers, very behind, they decided to give us 4 smaller tables instead of one long one so there would be 2 servers involved. They didn't have enough menus, finally 1 of our tables finished ordering and brought us one to share so we'd be ready to order, I tried ordering a soft drink, they had no coke ,,I ordered pink lemonade, it wasn't available, I tried root beer, they said it was A&w, then came back said Mug. Our tables were about 55 minutes from first served to last. They brought my plate/ it wasn't roast beef strips like o thought, just sloppy joe. Since a special wasn't listed I didn't know price until bill. I had to call her back as she didn't bring a salad. I was last one done, the rest went on out. Some ordered pies and I ordered rhubarb boxed to go, to hurry me and save her, she brought credit card machine to table, pushed plates aside, set pie box on table and added it to receipt. Then I went to restroom, and hurried out to our bus, forgetting it? As it wasnt noticable so paid the $4.49 for nothing and tip on it too, I asked if it was usually that busy, she said no but gave no reason, I would go back for good food, cute place but lousy service. but definitely not if it was busy again, read more

We always enjoy helping local businesses especially when we're on vacation. Bradley's Corner Cafe was enjoyable. I'm giving it 4 stars based on 5 categories. 1. Service- 3/5- The waitress was friendly and had good manners, but she seemed a little standoffish. We asked for sugar and she pointed at the sugar on the table and didn't consider we wanted sweet and low rather than what's available. She walked away and left us with a feeling of guilt that we inconvenienced her. We weren't given straws and felt like it was a burden to ask her because she kept walking by us with a fast pace avoiding eye contact. 2. Food- 4/5 The chicken fried chicken was picture perfect. Add a little salt and pepper and the meal felt complete. The eggs were excellent. They melted and blended the dish together nicely. Unfortunately the chicken had a few hard spots on the edges of the chicken that made it hard to chew and difficult to cut through. The diner is famous for pie, so we tried their crumble peach pie with a scoop of ice cream. It was enjoyable. Personally, I like my pie a little more firm and the crumbles to have more crunch. 3. Atmosphere- 3/5 I didn't take pictures of the inside because I didn't want to feel rude. The furnishing looked a little dated, there was a tile in the ceiling that looked ready to collapse from water damage. It's a little expected though b/c it's a diner and not a 5 star restaurant. 4. Timeliness- 5/5. We were seated immediately and the food came out just as fast as we could order it. 5. Price- 5/5- we had two full meals more than we could eat, two slices of pie with ice cream, and a cup of coffee for 25 bucks. Very reasonably priced. Overall: 4/5- we enjoyed our breakfast, but it wasn't enough to make us want to return. We are hundreds of miles away, so our opinions might be a little different if we lived closer. read more

Stopped by here last weekend - I was craving some good breakfast, didn't feel like cooking and thought a café would be a good idea. Bradley's didn't disappoint. When you walk in, you immediately feel like you're in grandmas kitchen. I'm a Midwest boy and they had it down to the same color on the wall I remember growing up. This place has that true small town Kansas feel to it even in light of being in a small city like Topeka. The staff was friendly. It was recommended I get the biscuits and gravy (always my favorite go to for breakfast). They were delicious. Biscuits were perfectly flaky and buttery. This place would probably be good for a Sunday brunch too for anyone who might have a hangover. I definitely recommend stopping by here for breakfast. Next time I think I need to try some of their homemade pie! read more

Delicious breakfast. I had the veggie omelette with no cheese. OJ was nice and sweet, hash browns were the bomb. Good spot for lunch and dinner it appears, I was drooling over the menu items which are plentiful. This is a gem in a cute small downtown section of Topeka. read more

BEWARE! go somewhere else so you can actually have a decent meal with an inviting atmosphere. wouldn't recommend at this moment.

Bradley's is a great little place where the waitstaff are wonderful and so is the food.

Our order wasn't up to its usual standard. The mashed potatoes on the open faced roast beef sandwich tasted different than they usually do. They tasted like they were made with water instead of milk. My chicken fried steak and eggs were ok, but I've had better from this establishment. The hash browns were cold and the pancakes were lacking their usual tasty flavor. The service from our waitress was great as always. I've had many 5 star chicken fried steak and eggs with pancakes here. So many that if we have a certain waitress, she just brings me a coffee cup and no menu because she knows my order by heart! read more

We took a road trip to Chicago and on the way back we wanted to have breakfast in Topeka, Kansas. Searching reviews, we found Bradley's Corner Cafe. It was definitely a local favorite as there was a line out the door this Father's Day. We had a delicious breakfast sharing a biscuit and gravy special that was tasty and sharing an scrambled egg breakfast. Service was quick in spite of being so busy. Would stop there again if we were ever in Topeka.. read more
