If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Deserves every penny they get. Love the atmosphere and great service. Feels like home and the food has the same feeling. Small and great for the family. Will definitely return. read more

Lousy bacon and small coffee cups that need constant refilling. When busy, all weekends, it takes a while for refills. For me, bacon is the hallmark of a good diner. Get that wrong and I'm out. Other food is okay. The one bright star is the waffle. That was great. Servers have always been very friendly but I won't be back...which is a shame because it's so close to home. read more

This is our stand-by weekend breakfast place. It's so close, I can roll out of bed, roll into the car and into the restaurant, eat and then reverse. Have had no problems with rude service whether the waitress was young, old or in between. The place is always at capacity so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table. Have never been disappointed with the food. read more

The food is only surpassed by the service. That's a talk task too. I've only had great experiences here.

Great food and the staff is excellent!!!! Prices are very competitive for the area and the amount of food you get for your money is well worth it. I definitely recommend stopping by. Cash only. read more

quaint cafe with delicious food! one of the best cheeseburgers i've had in a while i opted to try the new england clam chowder which didn't disappoint. one bit, waitress was super sweet and courteous. cash only but they have an atm on site to withdrawal money. read more

We love going for breakfast, food is amazing and staff is very nice! Only complaint is that it's "cash only".

The food is great, the service is fast, and whether or not you are a regular - it's a friendly place. I'm sorry to the person who felt they had to rate this a 1 because of one experience with one customer on a busy morning - I have never seen that in all my years of going there. You should give it another try. The cream chipped beef is absolutely the best I have ever had - and I really can't eat it anywhere else. And believe me, I've tried! The omelets, eggs, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches...it's all good. Cooked very fresh and delivered to your table within seconds of being cooked. Someone mentioned the hash browns- which are relatively new to the menu. They are what they are and were probably added for the kids. Try the home fries - you'll never eat anything else. read more

This cafe is the BEST ever! The people who serve you are warm, friendly, polite, accommodating. Everything on the menu is prepared fresh!

This is a great place that is family owned and operated. The hard working nice couple in the kitchen are the owners. The food is always hot and delicious. This is a part of Americana. The service is great. Always friendly and jovial and quick to take your order. It's a busy place so on weekends get there early. Another sign that this place is great and have plenty of good food that keeps bringing me and my kids back. Definitely go! read more

Our family has frequented Coventry Cafe for years, spending several hundred dollars per year here. We never walked away saying, "Wow, that was amazing" but the prices are reasonable, most of the waitresses are quite friendly (and my husband overtips accordingly) and it's close to our house. Well, today was our last visit. We ordered our breakfast, received our drinks (coffee), and then our meal. I immediately noticed and commented that they had put bacon on my plate, which I had not ordered and was not included with my "Country-Style Eggs" order. I am not a bacon-lover, but was pleased with the "bonus" and planned to give it to my husband and son. However, the waitress informed me that I could not keep it, as it was given in error. I asked what they were going to do with it, wondering if they planned to give it to another customer. No, she said, they would throw it away. I was incredulous. They would throw away perfectly good food (okay, slightly overdone, but still) instead of letting a customer enjoy a little bonus? Seriously? The waitress confirmed with the owners/cooks that that was indeed what must happen, unless I agreed to pay for it. She returned to our table, USING HER BARE HANDS removed the bacon from my plate, SEPARATING it from the melted cheese from my eggs with hands. This was wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. How small-minded. Cheap. Tacky. Short-sighted. Unhygienic. Ungrateful to your customers. I went to the breakfast counter, caught the eye of Cindy, one of the owners, and she came out and talked to me. She was nice, and tried to shift the blame to the waitress, saying that she was overly dramatic about it, putting it in the garbage, etc., and saying it was because the ticket was mis-read by the husband (he mistakenly saw "bacon" where it clearly said "Cinn raisin"- I saw it with my own eyes). Still, the husband had given the edict to remove food from a customer's plate and have it thrown out. I told Cindy we have spent so much money there (we have a large family- so our tickets can get high when we're all there!) and that it was an awful policy for a business to have. Never before in my life have I heard of a restaurant doing such a thing! She DID offer to make a replacement order of bacon, to her credit (which is why I gave this review two stars instead of one), but I asked instead that to rectify the situation they would NEVER do that to a customer again. My husband gave the waitress one last good tip, but from now on, we'll just go to the German restaurant down the street (The Schnitzel House) for breakfast, where they make delicious food and the Romanian owners practically kiss our feet. They're a little more expensive, but have much more class. Oh, one more thing- when I was talking to the owner, Cindy, her husband couldn't even look at me. Hopefully that means he was ashamed of his cheapness and will change how he does business. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place in the area. Of course, it probably helps that I live right down the street from it. I think the hostile waitress is just part of its charm. We did get pretty mad one day when she took our ketchup to give to someone else before we had a chance to use it. But now we just joke about it every time we go there. Make sure to guard your ketchup! Also, it's very reasonably priced. We always spend about $12 + tip for 2 people! read more

Food was good and prices were reasonable! Hash browns were like McDonald's. Omelette's were just the right size.

We love this place. Small but staff always very friendly and food cones out fast. We always go for breakfast and they have the best sausage gravy and biscuits. read more

Everyone there is always so pleasant.... Food is cooked JUST the way you want, fast service, and the price is just right. I love this place because its nice and cozy. read more

Great breakfast food at reasonable prices. They don't take credit cards, so make sure to grab cash before you have to hit up the "extra surcharge" ATM in the lobby. It's very small, so it's normally loud, but they get you in and out quickly. read more

I could eat at the Coventry cafe everyday! As my kids put it they have the best pancakes in the world!! Great family restaurant :)
