Lobster was perfectly cooked. And plenty in every bite. Second order 1 large medium roast coffee. was a breakfast of champions. Corned beef hash, String potatoes. Choice of sausage, bacon or chorizo. Choice of toast and a fruit cup. The lobster omelette was delivered and eaten while the staff miscommunicated and never placed the order for the breakfast of champions. I waited until my wife was done with her lobster omelette before mentioning I was forgotten. I brought this to the attention of management explained that I was traveling through and needed to be back on the road. She apologized and offered to expedite that for me. She also gave us a couple of sweet treats as another apology. She did and I am glad I did. My breakfast was excellent. Just had to eat it on the go. Which I'm used to with all the traveling we do. So the miscommunication happened and the recovery was great. The ambiance is great open seating built with a homage to the town's industrial heritage. Definitely recommend Cafe 641.

Also, even with a large order, our food came out fast and freshly made. If you're looking for bagels or a breakfast in a pinch, this isn't the worst option, but don't expect anything spectacular.

The blueberry cheesecake was nice and creamy and the pineapple upside down cake ended up not as overly sweet as I thought it would be. It was just right for me. I would definitely come back here again and recommend folks come check it out. Lots of fun flavors as well as some classics.

Was large enough to share if you don't have huge appetite. The "service" was pretty non existent. We had never been there before, the menu was a board on the wall and the young woman at the register was very impatient for us to hurry up and order. Had to ask for each individual thing..."do sides come with it? Chips or?..." a curt "no" was reply. Finally asked if we could buy chips "they're over there" was response. Same with drink. As far as ambiance, it's in an old fire station so that part is neat but it's basically tables spread out among the retail area of their store. If you're looking for comfort or quiet- this is not the place.

So hard to say; the owner excellence and runs a great cafe with high quality food. Great potential, however, my next two visits I dealt with the employee; that person should not be working in the hospitality business. During my 3rd visit the owner was present to step in and take over. I walked away with the impression that the wonderful owner of the cafe is blind as to how inept the current employee is. It's unfortunate because I greatly prefer the Vintage Cafe to the 641 Cafe right down the street. read more

The staff was incredible and the familial vibe was insane. You felt like part of their family and the community when you sat down. The staff chatted with everyone and was extremely friendly. They speak both English and Spanish, which is refreshing because I felt like I could order en español and my wife could order/converse in English. The food was top tier. I had the desayuno centro americano con carne. I swapped the beans for the home fries. I can't say enough. It was authentically delicious. The plantains are hands down the best I've had in the US to date. They are made the way you wish you could have them. The flavors are deep, portions are filling. It doesn't miss. Their house salsa picante was A1. I debated going back and asking if they sold bottles of it because it was so awesome. My wife's omelette was also incredible. She ended up hiding her plate from me since I would have eaten the whole thing. The tortillas were a nice, warm (literally fresh) add. I loved being able to add food to them as I went. The pancake was LOADED. It was super fluffy and well put together. It wasn't soggy, even though it had a ton of tasty goodies on it. No syrup required! Don't even think twice about stopping here. It's a hidden gem that is extremely well priced. You'll be welcomed like family and leave filled up!

We ordered a cup of chicken rice soup, a chicken Caesar wrap (comes with sweet potato fries), 3 mini sugar cookies and bottled beverages. The soup we didn't care for at all. It was flavorless and had a smell to it. My 5 year old pointed the smell out to me. The wrap was a little different to me. It was just okay. The chicken didn't taste fresh - like packaged chicken. It had chic peas inside of it, which was different. Sweet potato fries were great. You're probably wondering why I gave them 5 stars. While sitting down, a gentleman came over and asked how our lunch was. I was honest with him for feedback knowing it was there second day. He offered to make it over. I declined. He then offered to give us treats (cookies/brownies), I then again declined and this time he insisted. He left our table and gave us some goodies to go. Because of his customer service, I'll rate this establishment 5 stars.
