In a spur of the moment NYE trip to the ever bustling Lake Oconee area, my partner in crime recommended this little spot tucked away in a business development. Expecting expensive food with small portions due to the crowd of wine moms and preppy high schoolers seated inside and out, I was greeted with the aromas of fresh coffee, a clean and well organized restaurant and a menu with numerous meals that sounded not only delicious, but affordable too! Still a little skeptical, I ordered the prime rib sandwich with homemade potato chips and my companion had the chicken avocado bacon club or something like that, paired with a nice Samoa coffee. The register worker was patient and nice despite us being there just before close (special NYE hours we thought they'd be open later our bad) and in what felt like mere seconds our sandwiches arrived! For under $10, I'm not sure you could find a fresher, faster, and more delicious meal this side of the Miss'ippi. I'll start with the sandwiches, and furthermore, the bread; not just crispy, but with that great sourdough chew as well! Really an incredible balance between crunchy and chewy. Just the right thickness, and absorbent for my prime rib's Anjou. The meat was well prepared, flavorful, fresh, and tender as could be, and that aforementioned Anjou even tasted like it wasn't made with a mix or packet (though if it was nbd). I can't emphasize enough how fresh it all tasted, truly a delightful meal. The old lady's chicken avocado bacon club (maybe) performed equally well or even better. The bacon was perfectly cooked in my humble opinion, and the chicken was far from dry or tasteless. Even the avocado, not typically a favorite of mine on a sandwich, I thought was a great addition for the bite or two that I stole. Moving on to the sides, which were maybe not as filling as a scoop of mac and cheese or a bowl of chili (which I think we could have ordered had we coughed up a couple more bucks), but were not forgettable either. The salad, like EVERYTHING else, was as fresh as possible, and the vinaigrette was sweet and tangy. My homemade (cool right?) potato chips had a lovely funk almost like an aged cheese along with a great crack and nutty flavor. Not one bite of our lunches made it past 2024, as we spared not one leaf of lettuce or a single chip. Even the coffee (Samoa with some kind of syrup and milk) was delicious, just a tad sweet for my liking but tasting quite legit, not like one you'd get from a gas station cappuccino machine. I would be remiss if I did not mention the people. For 2pm, this place was HOPPING. And every worker there had a smile on their face! Not only this, but they happily brought our food to us outside. I was lucky enough to briefly chat with the owner, Lane, as he casually checked on the tables outside. He came across as authentic, cheerful, and involved, and explained he planned to keep the prices low and the food fresh and fast just as it was in our experience. Genuinely can't recommend this place enough, I will 100% be back if I don't die in a freak accident. Made our day trip to the area worth it. Cafe 44 was the perfect place to have lunch on the beautiful day we were blessed with to finish off the year! Thanks Cafe 44! p.s. I seriously can't emphasize enough how fresh this food was, like they made every portion size one at a time for each meal (though I am fairly certain this is not the case it was that good, think artisan farmers market ingredients). Thinking about eating at Subway now that I've eaten here just about makes me sick! read more

I really liked the tomato basil soup and the blackened chicken wrap. The avocado was perfect. My bf sad his california club wasn't great because the chicken was a little cold and he didn't like the "canned chicken" texture. Otherwise though very pleasant. Very busy on Saturdays. read more

This was a good lunch stop before leaving the area after a business trip. I let this experience grow cold on me after a month or so, so won't have a ton of details. Shopping center type set up. I got a tasty Philly Cheesesteak as I recall & a side that was some type of cold salad type thing. Not a lettuce salad - wish I could recall. Didn't look the best but was good. Friendly counter folks got me taken care of quickly. read more

Hot coffee and a really good egg bacon and cheese sandwich just hold the mayo! Fair prices and friendly service

When there for lunch the service, drinks and food were great. It's a very small cafe with around 6-8 tables that seats four and two tables for two. read more

I was in town for a wedding and was looking for a quick breakfast spot for our group! Cafe 44 is tucked into a shopping center and has plenty of parking but it is very tiny so we did have to wait in line for a bit (about 15-20 min). You order at the counter and then can sit down at one of the tables. I had the Lighter Side Sandwich with a decaf iced flavored latte (I believe it was Spiced Brown Sugar). They had so many flavors of flavored coffee so definitely check them out! My group also tried the Farmers Hash, Croissant Sandwich, and Breakfast Sandwich all of which were delicious! Everything came out super fast and we were able to get in and out super fast. The servers were also super nice putting together a table for our big group and also giving recommendations for a pastry from their case (we got the chocolate croissant which tasted pretty good). Overall, really enjoyed Cafe 44 and great breakfast spot in the Greensboro/Lake Oconee area! read more

Cafe 44 came as highly recommended for some great brunch in Eatonton so we gave it a shot. I was in town for a wedding looking for a caffeine fix for the day and we came here. You order at a counter and seat yourself and food was brought to you. We arrived around 10am with a big party and we were able to order, sit and eat all in like an hour or so! I ordered the pumpkin spice latte to drink and it was phenomenal! For my main, I got the hash bowl which was quite good. I did want the sauce on the side but nevertheless was delicious and it came with a biscuit!! A couple of us also decided to share a chocolate croissant and I thought it was fine but someone said it was stale. Overall, food was good for a decent price and could not complain. Definitely not the best brunch but was better than Waffle House! read more

We are from out of town and had no idea where to go for breakfast. Many people recommended we try Cafe 44 and so we did after driving into town after a long flight from the west coast. This was such a great experience! The food was fantastic. I don't usually like pancakes but was told to order the blueberry pancakes so I did - they were delicious! A must order. Service was excellent and everyone is super friendly. read more

if there's a line outside to get in, it's gotta be good. Right ? Salad was great, and the cinnamon roll was by far the best I've ever had. No doubt. The people inside were great as well as the community. 11/10 will be back again. read more

There's definitely a reason this place is poppin most days. Their food is just plain great. All of our sandwiches were fresh and we were able to luckily snag a spot inside!

Great Breakfast... But Was That Really Necessary? I've been to this Cafe 44 location several times for breakfast, and let me tell you--the food is amazing. Do yourself a favor and try the grits; you'll thank me later! That said, I really hope this morning was just an off day. The place was busy, as usual for a weekend, and the line was long. While I waited to order, my friend grabbed a table so we'd have a spot to sit--something I honestly see no issue with, especially since we're paying customers. But when we finally got to the counter, we were told we should have waited to sit until after ordering. Seriously? That felt extremely petty and honestly took the shine off an otherwise great experience. I still like this place, but that kind of attitude can make people think twice. read more

Delicious food! The sandwiches are all made fresh and very tasty. The house made soups are all hearty and very flavored. I'd recommend anything off the menu and I don't think you would be disappointed. The customer service is very top tier and they treat you like family! 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Very kind staff, great coffee. What more can you ask for? Oh, they have a beautiful selection of desserts. We ordered the pecan square and a cinnamon bun. The cinnamon bun was very good and the frosting on top was not overly sweet and overwhelming. Pecan was sweet but to be expected. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely divine! It was perfectly crispy. We shared a sandwich. Eggs cooked perfectly, crispy bacon, melted cheese....will get again and will add tomato. The outdoor tables are a nice touch - and a place to soak in some fresh air under the umbrellas. They have a lot of magazines inside and I liked this touch. A great place to have a bite to eat, do some reading. COVID: they are so careful wearing gloves and masks. Probably the safest place I've gone in a food establishment. They also have hand sanitizer on the walls. Staff will help you to open the door and garbage cans so you don't have to touch surfaces. Very kind and considerate read more

Our favorite lunch spot! The quality of the food coupled with their prices couldn't be better. Not only are their sandwiches devine, but their sides are homemade deliciousness. It's by far our favorite lunch spot in Greensboro. The seating inside is limited but we often order and pick up. read more

This is the cutest little cafe! I was assisting the husband with a work project and needed some extra caffeine! This place is absolutely adorable! The coffee and food is spot on!

I am so thrilled with our experience at Cafe 44 and am so happy to have this restaurant as an option for a quick lunch and coffee! First of all, to my delight they offer gluten free bread! I could have ordered almost anything on the menu with that substitution. I was very pleased to have so many options! The pastrami sandwich was delicious - it had cheese and was prepared like a grilled cheese. I got mine wserved with the homemade fantastic potato chips. The food came out quickly, even before the coffee. My large Heath Bar coffee was exactly what I needed at 11 in the morning. I do have to say though that my husband's vanilla latte was even more delicious. Thank you to the friendly lady who took our order, and thank you Cafe 44 for doing everything just right! read more

Such an adorable little place! This also gets extra points because it's one of the only places for a cute breakfast place around this area. I came in Monday morning with my dad to grab a little breakfast. They have so many delicious fresh baked pastries and a good selection of breakfast sandwiches. I got a blueberry muffin and a side of sausage. My dad got a Egg Ham and Cheese Croissant. We also both got coffee which is serve yourself (which I like). The muffin was so delicious. They even warmed it up for me. The croissant sandwich was delicious as well. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! I will be returning on my next visit to lake oconee! read more

Went here for lunch on a Saturday morning. Our friends who live on the lake said Cafe 44 is packed all day Saturday. We got there around 11:30 and there was 8-10 people in line. The line and order process took a while. After about 20 minutes we made it to the counter. We ordered our food and went to the table. Within a couple of minutes the food arrived. Our party got the El Paso burger and another person got the tomato basil soup. The burgers looked good and was loaded with a lot of guacamole and the soup looked tasty. My patty melt that I ordered still had not arrived five minutes after the others got their food. When I asked the server she seemed surprised that I did not have my food. She finally brought it to the table but offered no explanation or apology. It was good and hot. I think they forgot my order and fired it quickly and it did not sit around. read more

We stopped in for the first time today for lunch and let me say it was outstanding. We arrived at about 1pm and they were busy. We ordered and sat at a two top table. The staff were all very personable, helpful, and attentive. I had the fish tacos with potato salad as a side and my wife had a salad and soup. The portion was perfect for lunch and incredibly delicious. Let's just say the dishwasher didn't have much work to do on our plates. The prices were very fair and we can not wait to return again. Outstanding job to the whole staff!!! read more

Food is good. Sometime great. Parking is a disaster and seating is scarce. Your lucky if you get to wait in line inside. Super slow and mayhem getting your order in because so many people behind you. But i keep going back like i said the food is sometimes great. I think they are scared they will lose their mojo if the expand or relocate. Keep the menu and the cheif. Be smart choose a smart location. Tell your customers ahead of time. I think they have a loyal base and relocating would be wise. Whatever though Just give me my salad an samwich and i am good. Yum. read more

Great food! Have never had a bad meal here. Open only for breakfast and lunch. They often change lunch specials which are always good

We dropped in for a quick lunch bite. Service was friendly and efficient. I decent menu selection. I decided to try the pastrami sandwich. It was delicious. Also tried the fudge brownie - yum yum. I'll be back. read more

Long wait in line but it was 10:15 on a Saturday morning. Quick food delivery once we ordered. Got the hash--tasty! Everyone enjoyed their food--blueberry pancakes, Benedict, omelet. All very good. They offer many espresso based coffee drinks. We will go back! read more

Once again i must post on this establishment... We tried a new business in the area and was not impressed at all. A burger at cafe 44 is $6.99 and full of flavor and love. The new place charges $12.00 and was no better than a back yard burger( actually I have had better burgers at a back yard party). I cant say enough about Cafe 44, so thankful that a chef gets it here at the lake. So thankful for the wonderful people and the wonderful atmosphere. Kinda hungry now so you be the judge, unless you have no taste buds, this is the place to frequent ! Pops read more
