    Incredible food
    Jason P.

    To say this was one of the best breakfast experiences of my life wouldn't do it justice. The food 10/10 , service 10/10 , vibes 11/10. The owner came out and was just the nicest guy you could ever meet. Had a few funny stories to tell us and was going table to table making everyone feel at home. this would be a weekly stop if I lived here

    We wanted to try something different for lunch. I found Joes Cafe on Yelp. It did not disappoint. Everything we had easy really yummy. The bacon and sausage were highlights. Kids loved the pancakes. Joe is a national treasure that should be protected at all costs. He let my kids pick out a handmade wooden toy car. He calls them his niece and nephew and had some juice and grits brought to our table to try. This was our first time having grits so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was really good. As others have said, the hospitality is second to none. Joe made us feel like family, we will definitely stop in again.

    Let's start with the food - it was fast, delicious, and enormous. The staff were all incredibly nice and chef David even came out and gave us a small dish of grits and another dish of sausage gravy to try, both super tasty.

    The hospitality is phenomenal over here! Definitely makes you feel like you are family when you come! Staff is great and the food is delicious! Food is made and served pretty quick. This place gets packed but seems to have quick service! They have both breakfast and lunch on their menu. I got Joe's ultimate burger. That thing was packed with sautéed mushrooms and bacon! It did not disappoint. We also got the Belgian waffle. This thing was so fluffy yet crispy at the same time. By far the best waffle I've ever had. Overall great experience. Appreciate Joe the owner and the entire staff for giving excellent service and experience! Will definitely be coming back.

    The best little spot to get breakfast with a loved one! It's super homey inside and all the workers are so friendly. If you're lucky, Joe will come chat with you and tease you while you're eating; he is what makes this cafe the best! The food is all great & fairly priced. Portions are huge. Just overall a great place to come for breakfast! And expect it to be busy at times because it's so popular!

    Joe's Café in Orem is one of those places you walk into once and immediately know you'll be back. It's loud, lively, and packed with personality -- just like the food. This isn't your typical café; it's a Southern-style breakfast joint with heart. Joe himself is often working the grill or chatting with guests, and his energy sets the tone for the whole place. The portions are massive -- think pancakes the size of your plate, thick-cut bacon, perfectly seasoned potatoes, and biscuits and gravy that taste like they came straight out of a Southern kitchen. Everything is cooked to order, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell this is comfort food made with love, not prepackaged shortcuts. The service is quick, the vibe is no-frills, and the food does all the talking. Just make sure you come hungry, because Joe doesn't do "small." Prices are fair, and you leave feeling like you got way more than your money's worth. If you love big breakfasts, bold flavors, and a little sass with your coffee, Joe's Café is a Utah gem that delivers every single time. https://linktr.ee/reessroots

    Joe's Café didn't have air conditioning going when we ate lunch there. It was incredibly hot. It made it a very uncomfortable dining experience. They messed up on a few of our orders. They bring out the food as it's made and one person in our group was forgotten. I got the French toast with eggs and bacon, and the food was very average. The syrup bottle on the table was beyond sticky. The best part of the experience was our waitress. She was really nice. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurants.

    We were looking for the best breakfast restaurants in Orem, and Joe's Cafe was the first to pop up on google. When you walk in the restaurant feels college themed, with tons of pictures just everywhere on the walls. I mean, there isn't really a blank space left. I ordered the short stack pancakes, and my Mimi ordered a half Belgian waffle. We both got hash browns (Yes they have actual hash browns not home fries) and scrambled eggs. Service is quick, it took about 10 minutes for our food to be on our table. But, instead of receiving a short stack, they gave me silver dollar pancakes. But this is ok, I didn't mind. The pancakes are light and buttery, and practically melt in your mouth. My Mimi really liked her waffle, too. The hash browns aren't too soft, and aren't too crunchy. They're cooked just right. The scrambled eggs are soft, but could be a little more runny. Anyways, our breakfast was pretty good, but can have some improvements. This would be a 4, but considering how friendly the people are, this is a 5. Great job Joe!

    Biscuits & Gravy
    Charles R.

    First time to Joes Cafe and it was fantastic. When we walked up Joe greeted us as if we'd been friends for years. Joe then asked us what we were in the mood for, told us what was good (which I'm convinced was everything looking at the tables next to us) and he had our order before we even sat down. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with grits and my wife got the breakfast sandwich with avocado. I'm a big biscuits and gravy fan but also critic. I need a good biscuit, tasty gravy that is meaty. This was it! Throw in two over easy eggs on top and it all just worked! The grits also really good and sweet. My wife also really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich w/avocado and by the looks of it would have been something I would order in the future if the biscuits and gravy wasn't so darn good. Also, don't sleep on Joe's juice, delicious! We sat outside on the patio which on a beautiful Utah morning was perfect.

    The customer service was top notch. The food came out quickly and every employee that walked by checked to see if we needed anything and if the food was good.

    gravy and biscuits, flakes of beef made it different from standard gravy and biscuit. Grits taste like a mix of tapioca and cream of wheat.

Everything we ordered was fantastic, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Here is a quick breakdown of what we tried: Black Sesame Latte & Matcha Ube Latte: Both iced lattes were so delicious and, best of all, not overly sweet. A huge bonus for us was that they were able to make both with oat milk! Bungeoppang: These were warm, crispy on the outside, and incredibly tasty. Yuzu Cheesecake: This was by far the favorite of the visit. It was light, refreshing, and honestly probably one of the top five cheesecakes I've ever had in my life. Beyond the incredible menu, the ambiance and service are top-tier. The interior decor is incredibly cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax. On top of that, the mother/daughter owners were so sweet and knowledgeable about their offerings, making us feel right at home. If you're craving authentic, high-quality Korean drinks and pastries, The Tea Barn is an absolute must-visit!
