My sister who lives in Chicago was visiting her daughter at the University of Iowa (Go Hawkeyes!). We live in Johnston and were looking for a breakfast or brunch restaurant as close to 1/2 way between for a quick meal. I initially found the reviews for the previous restaurant at this location that closed in December. We decided to try Red Pride Cafe. The prices made me look at the calendar to confirm it's actually 2026, because the prices reminded me of the 1990s. Everyone was happy with our food. The cinnamon rolls were awesome. We wished we had room for dessert because it looked delicious but we couldn't eat anymore. I had called ahead to make sure they were open and were able to seat a larger group. The owner was very nice and took great care of us. We will definitely be back. read more
