What a great place. They always have very fresh tasty food. Our breakfast hit the spot. I love the bacon and onion jam, which they serve on the side. Just pour it over everything, then add on the ORGANIC (very upscale) maple syrup. The whole pace is this really cute house with a wonderful atmosphere just like you were eating at someone's house. Service was impeccable with frequent coffee/water refills, quick food delivery, very quick to get the check. This is a staple for the area. Make sure to hit them up!! read more

The Sugar Kettle Cafe - Tomato gravy with conecuh sausage over a biscuit - Southern Near Me - Daphne, Alabama

This little restaurant was a nice surprise in Daphne. My husband ordered a club sandwich, although to me it wasn't a "true" club, it was tasty, but what he loved was his side of greens. I ordered a fried chicken plate and happily paid the 75 cents surcharge for white meat?!! My only complaint was that it was only one piece of chicken and I was still a little hungry when I left. It was very tasty for a lunch special. read more

If they offer you pickles...say yes! Those were SO good! This is a cute little place. The moment we walked in, they said, "we don't recognize you, where are y'all from?" We could tell everyone seemed to know everyone which meant we had stumbled into a great local favorite. Everyone in our group loved their southern dishes - chicken pot pie, biscuits and gravy, waffles, catfish and grits, and more! Three of us had the peach cobbler while another had coconut cream pie and berry cobbler. It was all super delicious. The waitress and owner were real sweet in answering all our questions, even describing how they can ship those yummy pickles all over the country. Excellent food, spectacular service, and a memorable spot. So glad we discovered it! read more

Mama's cooking really really good, but they want let you kiss the cooks. Love this place. Don't walk run to THE SUGAR KETTLE!!!!

Good food in good portion sizes (not too big!) and very nice service. The building is an old house in great shape and very clean. The sausage casserole and biscuits are both good, especially with some blackberry jam. I would go back. read more

Y'all just come here . First the food: the biscuits are STUNNING! fluffy with crispy crust. I added CF Steak to mine and it came with a side of pepper gravy. Partner had Belgian Waffles and they have sugar free syrup. Ask for SAM's Section for the ultimate personal service. So glad we shared brunch here!!! read more

Wonderful service and the food is amazing. The Sausage Casserole with a biscuit and homemade jelly is the way to go.

Wow. Ok random DoorDash on a Sunday morning. Scrolled thru looking for a southern breakfast. Landed here. Ordered biscuits and gravy, with the egg breakfast. The gravy was hot and not clumpy at all, I had anticipated it would be due to it having to be delivered. The eggs were normal scrambled eggs, all good. The grits and cheese were tasty and perfect consistency Let's end with the OH MY GAHWSH biscuits! I've been on the west coast for 20 years and have been looking for that "place" that reminds me of my southern days. THIS IS IT! Was crunchy yet soft. sweet yet fluffy. I ate the last biscuit with nothing on it. I can't comment on service or ambiance as it was delivered. The packaging was secure and all items included. Try this place out it is worth it! read more

Was always curious about this restaurant and finally got an opportunity to eat breakfast and it was fabulous. Good food, great staff and a down home atmosphere, I felt like I was in my Grandmother's kitchen. Definitely will return. read more

Tasty and fairly reasonably priced! I had the caramel French Toast pictured and it was great. The bacon, eggs and fruit all seemed to incorporate high quality ingredients and perfect cook. My daughter had fried fish and grits smothered in a creole gravy along with toast and homemade blackberry jam. She said it was fantastic. Only downside was the chill in the air. If I go back, I'll ask them to turn up the heat. Service was nice and attentive. read more

My husband and I decided to try the Sugar Kettle Cafe for breakfast today. Located in an old home turned restaurant, we were seated in one of the dining areas and quickly waited on to get beverages and order our meal. I enjoyed the waffle with sausage and my husband had an omelette with a biscuit. The food was displayed beautifully on the plate and delicious. Our only complaint was our food was not hot. read more

The chicken and waffles were delicious. The service was great, our server checked on our table often, but was not intrusive. The restaurant is homey and quaint, I will definitely be back. read more

This was a great find- while in the area my friend and I played YELP roulette-- typed in "lunch" near me while driving and it took us here! What a great find and delicious lunch - like going to grandmas house for Sunday lunch - they happened to have tomato pie - and I got the last slice of coconut pie- check out my photos - and get there ! read more

Cute cafe in a historic home. This was our second time visiting. We had breakfast and were very pleased. Good quality ingredients which made for a delicious meal. Most restaurants have crappy coffee but we were happy with this breakfast blend. The service is great, happy , helpful people. This will be on of our regular haunts. read more

Nice local breakfast/lunch spot. Felt like I was eating at someone's home rather than a restaurant. Food was good solid home cooking, and the staff were entertaining. Daily specials offer something new each day of the week along with standard sandwich and salad options. Worth a visit if looking for good home style cooking. read more

We stopped by on a Wednesday after noon and caught them right in the middle of breakfast to lunch swamp. They let us know it would be approximately 20 minutes before lunch could be served, but the wait was well worth it. It was like stopping by my grandma's house. Warm and welcoming with amazing food. The ambiance is so quaint. read more

Welp, i had the caramel drenched French toast meal. The french toast was basically the star of the dish as it should. It was served with grits but they were an epic fail. I had a major lump among the little lumps in the grits, they had absolutely no flavor at all. I tried adding salt, but there was no saving the grits so i left them alone entirely. The sausage was a good pair to the toast. I just wish the patties were actually hot. They felt as if they were sitting under a warm light...not fresh. I did have a fruit medley which was pretty good. Unfortunately, i didnt get a chance to try the blue berries since the cup fell off my plate. Note to self:take the cup off the plate before diving in lol. The ambiance was okay... kind of didn't like sitting next to three space heaters, but it is a dated house concept. I love the outside ambience. They should definitely update the inside just a little to give the inside the feel of the outside appearance. read more

The Sugar Kettle Cafe - Caramel Drenched French Toast: Super bland grits, warm patties... but flavorful everything else. - Southern Near Me - Daphne, Alabama

This was such a nice find for a southern breakfast on our last day of vacation. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The biscuits and gravy were delicious. My son had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was fried perfectly. The dish was a really good combination of flavors and textures. The restaurant is in an old renovated house so you feel like you are headed to grandma's house for breakfast. read more

We found this restaurant online and it looked cute and sounded good. This cafe does not disappoint. Quaint comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff(Missy was great) and the food was top notch read more

Took my husband here for breakfast for Father's Day. He had the waffles. I have to say I have never ever had anything to eat here that disappointed me and I'm picky. It's like homemade cooking like your momma OR grandma would do. It has a warm homey feeling inside. I definitely recommend it. But you better show up hungry. read more

I was really disappointed considering th reviews ... looks like things are turning around. Standing by for an updated menu!

Service was very slow. When the orders finally arrived 2 had to be sent back because of missing items and underdone food. After service was done the checks were incorrect and we had to go a retrieve one of the credit cards because it was not returned to us. read more

Very cute little place that serves breakfast and lunch. The staff is sweet and very helpful. The food is delicious. Conveniently located. We sat on the front porch to eat, overlooking the fountain. Lovely morning. read more

Don't eat here on Sunday morning or brunch served our food on paper plates and plastic silverware. Eggs were cold sent them back were microwaved and brought back to the table. Bacon tSted funny and fruit was mushy. Paid almost $50.00 with the tip, definitely not worth it. Waitress tried! read more

Wow! I just had an incredible breakfast! It was just my adult nephew and me - no pics, sorry. It was simple - 2 waters and 2 entrees. He chose the Shrimp and Grits. I went for the chicken and waffles with the bacon onion jam fresh whipped cream and maple syrup. He woofed his down and proclaimed it to be awesome. It looked beautiful before he inhaled it. Chicken & Waffles=DIVINE Just perfect in every way. The texture and consistency of the waffle was spot-on. The chicken could not have been more yummy (perhaps a little tang in the batter to offset the sweetness of the accoutrements). That jam is to die for. They sell their jams (made in-shop) and I will be picking up a jar of their backberry jam along with the bacon onion. I may buy a few - what a yummy gift! The lunch menu looks diverse enough to satisfy all eaters. They also offer casseroles for pick-up (I will be researching that soon). Our service was great (it helps to have a handsome young man at the table). Food delivery took about 15 minutes, but it was all fresh out of the kitchen. The environment is casual and homey, so it was nice not to have heat-light food plopped on the table quickly. The Sugar Kettle feels warm and happy. So did my belly on the way out. read more

Our service yesterday morning for my father's birthday was way below par. We tried your restaurant a long time ago, and decided to return because of your promising menu. It left much to be desired, to say the least. There were clear angry expressions between everyone who worked there with each other, and failed to provide my mother with a yogurt breakfast. However, the biggest complaint was the "breakfast" sandwich, with provided absolutely zero seasoned eggs, and old, massive pieces of ham that made my father and I very sick during the night. I suggest you all get your stuff together as a team and a more watchful eye on the food you serve. We also arrived 10 minutes before omelets were to be cut off, and were told we could not order because of "space in the kitchen." read more

Wow is all I can say about this place! The food is absolutely amazing. Service was top notch. I love the old home feel. Kind of like eating at grandmas. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day. I didn't want to leave a review because I want to keep this place a secret. read more

Nice place to grab a sandwich or a quick meal for lunch. Service was good. Interesting story on how this place came to be.

If you want comfort food prepared fresh, this is your go to lunch place. There are regular meals and daily specials. It's like a blue plate or meat and two special. Their fried chicken is some of the best that I ever had. They are consistent and always delicious! read more

Friendly faces!! Fun quirky atmosphere! I had the tuna salad on a croissant. It was just right! The tuna was albacore and yummy! Just the right amount of seasoning! Also also got the cucumbers and tomatoes and onion salad as a side. So good! Not too sweet, not too vinegary! I wanted to try the desserts because they look awesome but was just too full! just new to the area and I will definitely be back! I can see this place becoming a regular haunt! read more

This was nothing like the first time I was at this cafe. My husband hadn't been there and I loved it the first time so there you go. Service was fantastic, she was very attentive and accommodating. I ordered the sausage and egg casserole with grits, biscuit and apple jelly. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits with tomato gravy. Unfortunately my casserole was very salty so I sent it back. The grits were ok but the biscuit was fluffy and delicious. I didn't care for the apple butter jelly. On the other hand my husband liked his shrimp and grits with the tomato gravy, and loved the apple jelly. I didn't get anything else to replace what I didn't eat, I just ate my breakfast and got strawberry jelly and it was very good! The menu was small and the cafe is a house and very cozy. I might try lunch there, they close at 2 and have new hours now. The service is the only reason I would return, oh and the biscuits! read more

Food is good. Hubby and I ordered the classic breakfast today with eggs, bacon, biscuit and hash brown casserole. Coffee is good. Sunday brunch is varied. Nice selection but we wanted a classic breakfast. Service was superb. Will come back. We come here while traveling and the place has really improved. read more

Love the "home comfort food". This was the first restaurant I went to after moving here almost 10 years ago from Ridgeland, MS.

In my opinion, best Southern home cooking in this area. Ate here almost a year ago, the day we closed on our house and moved to this area. Been back several times, never been disappointed. Love this place! read more
