Neat little diner in a neat little neighborhood. For some reason I was expected a literal cafe, but thankfully this place has it all. I was torn between the lunch and breakfast menus and ultimately opted for the breakfast burrito. I'd be wary of a real burrito at a diner, but what is a breakfast burrito but a breakfast scramble in a wrap? The burrito is pretty hefty, not Chipotle sized but definitely enough for a normal person's appetite, especially when paired with the hash browns... which were delicious. Very crisp on the outside but nice and soft on the inside. And of course there's the big selection of pie. The first one I wanted, cherry crumb, was still cooking, so I decided to go for something different: gooseberry. I'm not sure what the hell a gooseberry is, but it tastes a bit like an apple with the tartness of a cherry. A crisp outer crust holds it together from fork to mouth. If you need to hit up a greasy spoon, this is the one. read more

Home cooked from scratch goodness. It's a cute place off the beaten path. There's great artwork inside. I had the eggs with hashbrowns and pancakes. The hashbrowns were crispy. Only critique is they were not seasoned. My husband had the chicken fried steak with eggs. He loved every bite. The steak was tender and hand battered and fried. The gravy was from scratch and really thick; there was definitely enough. Would come again if in the area. read more

We stopped for breakfast & we weren't disappointed. Great local restaurant, that treats yu like a neighbor. I had the ham & cheese casserole with two eggs over medium on top. So delicious. The eggs were cooked perfect & a very generous helping. We are traveling to Denver & will stop again on our return trip. read more

Wonderful diner with great food and service! Totally worth the trip to North Topeka. The pie selection looks amazing!

I thought this place was very good. Had a sandwich and onion rings. Seemed like an old school diner. Service was friendly. Only regret was not getting pie but I was full. Would eat here again. read more

I went for the first time since pandemic. I ordered what I had always ordered - pot roast. It used to have carrots, peas, etc with it. Not now. The roll was hard enough I did not eat it. I did ask for extra potatoes and gravy since I did not like the vegetable option. Another there used to be other options. Overall a very disappointing experience compared to what I had found a great option in the past. read more

Great food and friendly staff. No a lot of seating but it's not a large place either. Great fried chicken and really tasty breakfast. But the best part is all the pie options they have. read more

I LOVE BRADLEY'S!! The breakfast is wonderful, the burgers are delicious and I would drive across the country for their amazing pie!!!

I love this little local diner. The food and service are both excellent! My new favorite place for breakfast!

Stopped in to my favorite breakfast place for lunch today. Had pan fried chicken, it is the BEST fried chicken in Topeka. Served with choice of potato, vegetables and a roll. 4 piece only $10.89, 2 piece $2. Less. I went with 4 piece and a to go box for supper tonight. I guess this is Tuesday special lunch and dinner. Great people and great food. read more

Incredible service! Bradley has been around for a lot of years cooking food and serving Topeka and surrounding communities. He is a MASTER pie maker! They have so many different favors and you can order while pies 24 hours in advance. The food is wonderful as well. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served and it is all from scratch, home cooked food. A great comfort food menu! You can't beat the breakfast omelets, casseroles and giant cinnamon rolls!!! read more

Call a jeweler!, we have uncovered a major gem embedded in an out of the way area that is undergoing rejuvenation. Very popular with the locals by the amount of traffic that was in and out of this small but quaint homestyle diner. Dining area is bright and cheery, walls covered with various mural paintings.But focus on the pie board..(photo enclosed). I spent more time figuring out which pie I would be sampling, than picking out a lunch item. Todays lunch special was a complete turkey/dressing/mashed potato/green bean/cranberry sauce plate. What a treat this was, the meat was straight off the bird, smokey flavor, tender and moist. Homemade dressing...no Stove-Top here. Real mashed potatoes too. Cranberry was canned sauce, but who really makes their own cranberry sauce anymore? Lunch specials also came with soup or salad. Offerings today were Broccoli cheese. There was enough broccoli in here to qualify as a full serving of veggies for your day. Nice smokey cheese flavor. An excellent addition to the meal. My table mates, ordered an open faced turkey sandwich...same succulent turkey minus the dressing and beans, for the lighter touch. Pork Tender sandwich also came with mashed spuds. Thumbs up for all entrees from my crowd. Billie was our waitress, very pleasant and talkative, even though she had many tables to attend. Now, on to the pies..all homemade. Some of the offered flavors were tempting....others not so much...but plenty to choose from. One that took some pondering was Pineapple Coconut. If it would have been a cake, it would have won out, but a pie? Just don't know. Didn't risk it, but maybe next time. I chose the Chocolate pecan, which was incredibly rich and full of flavor, with cocoa mixed in the gooey filling, topped with nuts. Delicious, but filling...Needed to have a cup of coffee afterwards to calm the sweetness. But champion all the way. Also sampled were the lemon meringue which was about 4 inches high with its topping, and two version of apple one with crust topping, the other a crunch. Both apple eaters reported the cinnamon was too heavy and thats about all they tasted, instead of the expected sweet fruity taste. So a little knock for that. A small dent on a 5 star rating, could have been just the day. Everything else was top notch, and will definitely be returning to sample other offerings at this casual home feeling diner.. read more

See all

I had one of the better breakfasts in Topeka here the other day, including chicken fried steak, two eggs over easy, hash browns and country gravy. It was accompanied by a good biscuit. The gravy was not as peppery as I prefer, but was still good. The hash browns were well done without being greasy. Another tip here is save room for the cinnamon rolls or the pie. Where else will you find ten different pies including flavors like gooseberry pie. read more

This is one of those small family-owned breakfast spots that are just great to go to over and over. I can honestly say this because I HAVE gone here a few weekends in a row with my husband and each time we have had a very tasty and satisfying breakfast! I usually go for whatever special they have, which is priced between $6.99-$7.29. You can't really beat that anymore! Add in a coffee and I am one happy camper on a weekend morning. As for a suggestion... My favorite breakfast would be hamsteak with scrambled eggs and hashbrowns with a side of pancakes and peanut butter. It's always way more than I can eat but I love it! read more

Was visiting the area for the first time, and was hoping to find a great little place with good honest food. Well I wasn't disappointed. I had the breaded pork with cream peas, and mashed potatoes, all were really good. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Just unpretentious, down home cooking. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in all of Topeka. With a small cozy country setting and some of the best Paula Dean cooking and amazing pies in all of Kansas. Everyone needs to give Bradley's a try. read more

Small diner in North Topeka. I went here for some dinner. I ordered the open faced hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and turkey gravy. Delicious! The potatoes and gravy are made from scratch, which is a nice touch. read more

Wonderful restaurant and the pie was outstanding. We would recommend everyone too go.

I have been here several times and it's always been great. It does get super busy at lunch time so get there before 11:30 if you want a table. The service is usually very good but has been slow at times. Food is always top notch though and the pies are awesome. Seems that lately their available pie selection hasn't been as good though... maybe we're just getting there on the wrong day? read more

Solid little place. Coffee is hot and good. I had the biscuits and gravy special with two eggs and hash browns. All was cooked great and super tasty. Food came out light speed fast and was hot and was exactly what I was expecting. Biscuits were homemade and you could tell. Highly recommend. read more

One thing I like about Bradley's corner cafe is that Bradley makes his own pie's and his cafe food is the bomb you have not been there you should go very good service. read more

One of our favorite places for breakfast. Pie is great too. Big portions, reasonable price, good service.

I ate here about a year ago, after being told how great their food was. There was two hairs in my food that were definately not mine. Which sucks because the food tasted pretty good, but those two little hairs have made me a one time visitor. read more

The atmosphere and wait staff at Bradley's leave a lot to be desired, but the food is pretty stellar. I've mostly eaten burgers and fries here and they have always been tasty. The chocolate pecan pie here is outstanding. Everything is priced reasonably, but you will need to come early if you want to find a seat. read more

Great biscuits and gravy and our granddaughter loved the French Toast. The service was great. I've had their meatloaf before and their coconut cream pie yum. read more

Gotta try the biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy on top.. cheap price for a lot of great food. Thanks yelp reviewers for the good tip!

We loved the food, service was great. Location was absolutely awesome easy to get to. We would go back again.

Great breakfast spot in a cool location. Had gravy biscuits and wife had pancakes and ham. We will be back. Also coming back for pie later read more

Great big ol Breakfast place hidden in the NOTO art district. It doesn't disappoint, cinnamon rolls are great, food is great.

Pleasant ma and pop environment with delicious food and good coffee. Tried it out for brunch for the first time today and have to say I'll definitely be back. read more

I am so sad!!! We flew across the country and drove 1hr in the freezing cold with a crying baby. After hours of dreaming of ordering their famous cinnamon rolls to go.....we barely made it there before 8pm when they close. At 7:45 we walked to the front door and they had just locked it!!!! They could see us.....but they obviously wanted to get out of there early cause they ignored us. Cold and hungry, we found a Wendy's down the street that was open. Barf. I am so sad I missed out on homemade food, esp after reading their rave reviews! read more

Coming here is like a step back in time. Cute cafe atmosphere. Friendly staff. The home-style food is always very good. And don't even get me started on the pies! So good! read more

I went in again for a meeting. We had to wait and wait again. Why do they continually ignore some of their guests? I always get ignored and that day all three of us were ignored. One of the ladies with me had to shout out to get their attention. Refills? Ha! Good luck. I was in a rush to get out the door at the conclusion of our meeting and had to stand forever at the register. Again, ignored! I want to love and support this NOTO business but poor service every single time leaves me going elsewhere again and again. read more

Best cinnamon roll I've ever had! Stumbled upon this place while driving across country through Topeka. It was very cute and quiet with good food. Nice little breakfast spot in a small town read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot in Topeka. It's a tiny little place, and because it's so popular seating can be an issue sometimes. But I think that just speaks to how amazing it is. Their breakfast casseroles are delicious, as well as the cinnamon rolls. The staff is great, even when they're busy. My coffee mug is always filled and my water cup is never empty. If you want an original, small town diner experience, I highly recommend Bradley's. read more

Stopped in to pick up some pie to take home. I purchased a slice of sour cream raisin (heard great things about it) and chocolate peanut butter for the hubs. I'd heard this was the best place in Topeka for pie and it is absolutely true. I'd never heard of sour cream raisin until recently and it was amazing. I had a hard time getting a sample of my husband's because he was enjoying it so much. I didn't blame him once I got a taste!! We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

I'm always super awkward in places where you don't know immediately if you find your own table or wait to be seated. We just sat down and it seemed the thing to do. The waitress was very nice and quickly got our order and drinks. The coffee was good and always filled. My husband got the chicken burrito and loved it. I got the chicken fried steak and I wish it wasn't as tough but the meal was very good. I found a hair in it, but as it turned out, it was just mine. Glad we finally tried it out! read more

My son and I love Saturday morning breakfasts here. You will not walk away hungry. The food is exceptions and the service is fast yet friendly. They also serve Farmers Brothers coffee which is one of my favorites from years ago. read more

Best slice of pie anywhere in Topeka. Haven't tried their food yet but get any pie & you can finally die satisfied.

Me and my sister went down and we had breakfast we have gravy and biscuits that was good good service it was just great all the way around thank you read more
