Breakfast or lunch this place knocks it all out of the park! The friendly service and fun staff make everyone feel welcome even when there is a wait for a table in the summer. There is a wait because the food is amazing, and everyone knows it, we are happy to wait our turn to get in to eat multiple times a week because it's like a home away from home, only with better food. Another huge plus here besides the amazing food and friendly staff is the turn around time on food. Idk what kind of magic they do in the kitchen but the food is always ready in the blink of an eye. Ask for a side of the chipotle ranch, trust me, it will change your life. All year round this is my go to place to eat, the soups are better than I could ever make, the stuffed hashbrowns are amazing, their Bloody Marys are perfect! So good, you may have to wait cuz everyone knows how good it is, but I promise it's worth it! Put in your name, go browse around town, enjoy the experience! read more

Small location, but has plenty of parking. We sat outside and the wait was 5 minutes. Younger staff, very polite and helpful. A big breakfast with plenty of new meals to try! We went on a Monday at 11am and every table was full with more people coming. If you plan on going on the weekend, expect a wait. The outdoor sitting area is where it is at, inside looked very outdated. Hopefully they will be able to upgrade soon! read more

Really good breakfast spot in ludington. Small little cafe. We ordered a veggie omelet which was good and the country Benedict which also was tasty. Our favorite thing was the hashbrowns - very very yummy. Coffee also was solid. Service was good and food came out quick. read more

This was a quaint little Cafe with a cozy atmosphere and friendly wait staff. The menu was simple, but the breakfast was like getting it from your mom's kitchen. I ordered their simple breakfast. 1 egg, hash browns, toast, and choice of meat. I asked for sausage and unfortunately they mixed up my side and gave me bacon. One of the people in my group had multiple sausage on their plate, so I was still able to get what I wanted. The service was fast, from seating to check drop was roughly 30minutes. This Cafe is currently rated a 6.7 on my Beli and I recommend it if you are looking for a fast home cooked breakfast. read more

Unfortunately this place has gone downhill. First of all, the wait is ridiculous especially since when got there, there were several empty tables. They don't call you or text like they said when I checked in. The food is not the greatest. The burger looked disgusting. I guess if you get breakfast it's ok but we definitely will not be coming back. There are much better spots for brunch. read more

Café 106 is an absolute gem. It exudes home cooked vibes. Even on the 4th of July, parking was no problem as there's a lot out back plus plenty of street parking. We brought our dog and were thrilled to find their outdoor seating is pup-friendly. The staff was so friendly and service was fast. Like, impressively fast. Now let's talk food: the coffee was great, and the orange juice was super fresh. I had Janet's Stuffed Hashbrowns loaded with sour cream and cheese, served with rye toast and the most delightful strawberry jam. The scrambled eggs? Cooked perfectly fluffy. I also tried the cinnamon roll pancake which are incredible. The cream cheese frosting was to die for, and the crispy, sugary outer layer gave them the best texture. Affordable prices, dog-friendly patio, delicious food, and speedy, kind service--this place easily earns a rare 5/5 from me. I'll definitely be dreaming about coming back! read more

I had Jason as my server and he was AMAZING. I ordered the baked oats, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. You truly haven't had oats until you try these. The staff was such a big help and all had big smiles on their face. Will be back soon! read more

A cozy space with lots of Americana on the walls. Was full when we got there late on a Sunday morning, but we had to wait all of two minutes for a table. Server showed up quickly once we were seated to take our order. After taking it to the kitchen she returned with a coffeepot to keep on our table so we could tend to our refills. With us as customers, that saved her a lot of running. And coffee was good, a bit above average for diner brew. My wife got a basic egg-potato-toast breakfast, which she was happy with, especially since the hash browns came extra crispy as ordered. I opted for "Brad's Skillet", a bowl of hashbrowns mixed with ham, bacon, sausage and cheese w/ two eggs on top. While waiting for it I wondered if it had been such a good idea to order what amounts to a fat bowl, but when it arrived I saw it was actually kind of light on the meats, which made me feel both relieved and disappointed. It was satisfying and didn't need any more animal product in it. Both our breakfasts came with strawberry jam that tasted homemade. I didn't see a notice on the menu that it was, but it tasted for all the world like the kind my mother used to make. With some offbeat (some might say hipster) menu items, Cafe 106 can satisfy a taste for something novel or for some of the old diner standbys. read more

We went on a Sunday morning, we did have a 25 minute wait for a party of 5, which we expected. The café had a steady stream of people coming in. The food was great and the setting was family friendly. read more

For sure, get here early if you want to eat breakfast without a wait. We got here about five minutes after it opened on a weekend, and within 15 minutes, all of the tables were taken. This seems to be a popular place for breakfast. They were short staffed when we visited, but despite that, we still got great service, and our food came out quickly after we ordered. One of our meals got messed up a bit -- my child's buttermilk pancakes came out with chocolate chips on them -- but they were apologetic for the mistake and took it off our bill. My child, whose meal they "messed up," could care less that his pancakes has chocolate chips in them, and in fact considered it a sign that it was his lucky day. The chocolate chip pancakes were huge and spongy and sweet, and they tasted delicious. As for me, I got a breakfast panini. It's a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and meat (I chose bacon). It comes with a side of hash browns. It doesn't look like much when it comes out from the kitchen, but it is very filling, and I could only eat half and took one half back to my hotel. We were a party of six, and we got one of the biggest tables in the restaurant. This is not a restaurant that can seat a huge party -- the inside dining room in pretty small. There are some tables outside, but mostly those seats are two-seaters. The coffee at Cafe 106 is very good! They will pour you a cup, and then leave the carafe at your table so you can refill when you need to. It's great coffee that's not too bitter for black coffee drinkers like me. read more

Great food hot and ready fast for a group of six. Thank you Kaylen for wonderful service. Nice relaxing place for breakfast. read more

Breakfast was really good! Wonderful service! We sat outside because we had a dog with us. The wait staff was great either her. I had the Baja Chicken omelette. It came with hash browns and toast, but they willingly substitute a biscuit. All of our food was really hot. The biscuit had been cut in half and grilled and served with strawberry jam. The omelette was filled with chicken, onions, peppers and topped with cheese and avocado. Other orders at the table included Brad's Skillet and an omelette with lots of chorizo in it. Our pup got 2 scrambled eggs and was very pleased. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Brads breakfast is a great goto if you are hungry! Prices are on point.

The first thing a person will notice about this restaurant is the fact that they are always busy. From the time they open until the time they close, they have a steady flow of people. This should speak to the level of food this restaurant turns out! The food is always hot and delicious and it is always served efficiently and with a smile. Although the restaurant is a little small and a little outdated, it runs like a well oiled machine! Thank you for being a staple in the Ludington community and for your consistency in turning out quality, home cooked food! read more

Tiny place with no place to wait. We did end up waiting inside, my flip flops were sticking to the very dirty greasy CARPET!! Furniture scuffed up, looked 20 plus years old! We were thinking to leave but thought we'd give the food a chance. Food was just okay, egg has black on it from a greasy grill. Everything else just okay! Will not go back. read more

Cozy environment, good food and service. Very prompt and friendly server. Your own little carafe of coffee, nice touch

An excellent place to stop in downtown Ludington for breakfast. Everything that we had was amazing! If you want a sweet breakfast the cinnamon roll pancakes were SO good. My daughter ate every last bite. I really enjoyed the stuffed hashbrown breakfast. It's a small place, we did have to wait about 45 minutes on the 4th of July but it was worth the wait. Also, the service was excellent and very attentive. We will be back next time we are in town! read more

Small spot but great food, good service, and their fun cocktails are tasty. Love their Benedict and a Bloody Mary to drink

Party of 5 went in for a late breakfast after fishing. It was a nice morning and we were seated quickly outside after a couple of tables were pulled together. Server was great and engaging. Excellent coffee! There were three omelets ordered, one corned beef hash, and pancakes with sausage pattie. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order. Everything was great except the sausage pattie which was very bland and all fat. Everything else was most excellent. I highly recommend going to Cafe 106 for breakfast or lunch. I would request mgmt to find a different sausage pattie source as both you and your customers are being shorted. Review would have been a solid 5 if not for the sausage pattie. read more

Came here late Sunday morning on a holiday weekend with my friend. Initially we were told it would be a 20 minute wait, which was fine as we expected it would be busy in town. Two minutes after getting the confirmation text for the waitlist, I got a text saying our table was ready. (Side note: The waitlist has a link that allows you to see your place in line and how long your party and others have been waiting which is nice for longer waits.) The restaurant is small and tightly packed when it's full of people. We were seated right by the kitchen and bathroom, but the table was large. It was a little difficult to get into the back seat but once seated it was not a problem. We were quickly greeted by our waitress, who took a drink order. I ordered coffee and they brought a small carafe for refills. The coffee was fresh. Once we ordered, our waitress brought us things like syrup, butter, and ketchup before our food arrived, which I appreciated. These both ordered breakfast and have zero regrets. My friend got the Epic Breakfast. Everything was cooked well, but he wished the bacon would have been crispier. The homemade strawberry jam was definitely the highlight of the meal. My friend never eats jam and actually put some on his toast. I ordered the Country Benedict. I loved it but I wish the yolks were a little more runny. Both of our minor food concerns were personal preferences so I don't feel they should be considered in rating of this restaurant. Service was great throughout even though they were busy. From the time we put our name in to the time we left, it was only forty minutes. Overall, Cafe 106 is a worthwhile stop in Ludington. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. I can't wait to try their lunch options! read more

Nice little downtown cafe for lunch. Decor is from the late 80's and could use some updating. We had a Monte Cristo and a panini with various sides. Service was quick and we were checked on serval times for refills and such. read more

Small corner cafe was packed & so was outdoor seating but the reviews had us waiting. We loved the ability to leave our number & wander the shops to be texted for our table. Service was fantastic, friendly and we always had what we needed. The food came fast from the cutest serving window. Janet's stuffed hash browns for hubby and he called them great. The grandson is not a critic he said yummy and anything with syrup is ate up. However, us grandparents took bites and can tell you it was flavorful and probably good enough without syrup. I ordered Brad's skillet & made changes to it and had no problems. They serve homemade strawberry jam and it reminds me of my grandma. Please stop by when visiting Ludington you won't be disappointed. And it was less expensive than our visit to another breakfast buffet the previous day. See you next year!! read more

My husband and I have eaten here several times over the past year and we have had consistently wonderful food every time. I usually get some variation of eggs Benedict. They really know how to poach an egg! You get plenty to eat and it's served quickly and by very nice staff. They are always staffed appropriately, which is saying something these days. Today I had the turkey, bacon and avocado eggs Benedict. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The avocado was wonderful. Not too ripe or under ripe. It was just right. It was more food than I could finish. My husband's omelet was great, too. And he ate the strawberry jam, which he rarely does (it was that good!). And our server was on top of the drink refills. I love that! It's one block off of the main street going through town. Please give this place a try. You won't be disappointed! read more
