Amazing breakfast! Had Lauretta as our server and was on point. Omelets are great so is the corned beef hash

This is a cute little cafe and the staff was just the sweetest! They were busy and our food came pretty quick and my coffee cup was never empty which always makes for a happy customer! Thank you windmill cafe for a great breakfast! read more

Friendly staff welcomed us to the quaint restaurant on the square. The dining area was half full at 12:30 & as we were seated the table next to us proclaimed that it was the best omelet he had ever had with another saying it was the best breakfast he had at any restaurant. That proved to be true for our lunch as well. My companion ordered Beef N Noodles while I went for the Pork Tenderloin. Great bun, homemade? We both enjoyed what we ordered but after trading a bite with each other, we realized that liked what the other had even more. Does every couple do the rank who got the better meal, or is that just us? Within seconds of us trading meals, our waitress observed that we had swapped dishes and came over to ensure everything ok. Exceptional service! She offered to exchange out the meal for another or a different option if we were unhappy. We had to convince her that we both liked what ordered, we just liked the other one better. I look forward to dining here again! Just be sure you have your checkbook or cash, they don't take plastic. read more

I went here with my mom today because we were in town and wanted to choose something local. The restaurant was crowded and the specials looked promising. To their credit, the service was good (very quick) and prices were extremely reasonable. However, we were very disappointed by the food. My mom ordered the chicken salad croissant and found there was very little chicken, making for a bad texture read more

Just ate "dinner" here while here for the festival. To say the least I am very underwhelmed. I ordered the Monte Cristo, what I got was a hoagie bun with grilled chicken, bacon, "white" cheese, and ham. Not at all a Monte Cristo, not even close. My friend ordered the "Union Club" sandwich, she received a toasted white bread sandwich with turkey cold cut, bacon, lettuce, and tomato; pretty standard but only two slices of bread and skimpy portions. A second friend ordered the Chicken Parmesan, he received some bland jarred sauce, over cooked spaghetti, and grilled chicken strips with the same "white" cheese. I'll skip the description of the fries... The waitress was flippant, unfriendly, and performed her duties at the least possible effort. James S. read more

It's hard to make a bad sandwich. This place used to be just ok now it's awful. When I got my sandwich I thought they had forgotten to put anything in it. I opened the bread to see 2 thin slices of meat and a single slice of cheese not even to the edges of the bread. Minuscule mayo. Nothing else. Tasteless. My husband's wrap was just as bad. Our pies were old, gooey mush. read more

Standard fare, but good portions and fun service. Worth the stop. Hot beef plate was good! Solid value for the prices.

Visiting from Los Angeles. Love the great food and Excellent service!!! Thank you!!

We stopped here for lunch. I had the turkey wrap and my fiancée had the burger which was good too. I especially liked the turkey wrap since the wrap was closer in thickness to crepe. The service was fast and price was just right. We managed to get in and out in less than 30 minutes. I liked also getting a side salad substituted for fries. My fiancée had the rice and chicken soup. read more

Quaint little cafe in the middle of town. We were welcomed and seated as soon as we walked in. Very clean place and nicely decorated for the holidays. The biscuits and gravy was good but not the best we have ever had. However, the country fried steak was exceptionally delicious! It was crispy and with a great peppery gravy. Would definitely return here in the future as we see they have a Sunday brunch buffet! read more

Windmill Cafe - Armenian Near Me - Pella, Iowa

I'm a local that's been coming here for years, and this is the absolute best breakfast/brunch you can find in Pella. You can go wrong with any of their menu items, and it's all CHEAP! I recommend the all-meat skillet, 2-on-2, pancakes, specialty waffles, and biscuits & gravy. They're burgers are also pretty good. Food comes QUICK and there's always fresh coffee and water coming to the table. This will always be my "go-to" breakfast in Pella. Anyone I know would tell you the same! read more

Came in for breakfast when I was in town for work. First off, downtown Pella is a quaint Dutch-influenced town. This cafe is in the heart of the town as it faces the park and a short walk from The Royal Amsterdam Hotel. The breakfast was good (Egg white omelette). Standard hash and toast. And it's cheap! I think my breakfast was a cool $7. Free wifi and the folks that run it seem genuinely nice. Will be back next time I'm in town. read more

Traditional old school cafe! Lots of menu choices made it easy to satisfy everyone in my group. I had the hot tenderloin and mashed potatoes and gravy and it was just as it should be in a true cafe ... hot and filling. We had the onion rings for an appetizer - generous portion. All food came extremely fast and left us very satisfied . read more

Came to town to see the Tulips for the first time and stopped in for some lunch. The food was great, the waitress was awesome and got my food quickly. Will come back again sometime TY for a great meal! read more

Best Omelette ive ever had. Hash browns 2/5 Very welcoming A must visit is Pella read more

Good home-style diner with breakfast served all day. Dee-licious waffles with yummy toppings, croissant sandwiches and a tasty Greek salad. There was pie, but we were too full. Located on very Dutch Main street and near the glockenspiel clock with puppet-trons that tell the history of Pella. This town is neat as a pin. read more

Had a fine breakfast this morning. Service was good once they noticed us. Omelettes were excellent.

We waited a long time for a lunch table here. My beef sandwich was not very good, but luckily my dad ordered a delicious pork chop and shared with me. I think this might have been a four-star review if I had stuck to the midwestern meat n' potatoes specials and avoided the sandwich area of the menu. read more

There for lunch with group of 11. Excellent food at a great price served fast with super friendly wait staff. Enough said!!

I love the country fried steak and eggs. You get the most for your buck, it's only about 8$ for steak, two eggs, hash browns, toast and coffee. I would recommend avoiding not Sunday's but other than that it's a great place to eat. read more

One of the many little restaurant in Pella. I'm a fan of the spiced beef when they have it, but they always have different specials. It's reasonably priced. Like every other place in Pella, everyone knows everyone so be prepared to wait. :-D read more

Good simple breakfast. The service was fast and we were able to make a reservation, which was nice.

Stopped in here on a Sunday morning as we were headed through Pella. Really cute place on the beautiful town square, good food on the breakfast buffet, and wonderful service. I am not usually a fan of buffets, but this was one was good and lots of choices. I would like to go back sometime. read more

A few family members and I ate sandwiches for lunch when it was quite busy. We were seated rather quickly and the staff was responsive to where we wanted to sit. The burger and gyros tasted good, and the gyros had a good amount of sauce. The reuben was delicious even if wasn't as large as some served elsewhere. I thought that the menu had several interesting and varied options. The atmosphere was okay with several TV's (turned to sports when I was there) with one TV set to local advertising. read more

Might be good for breakfast, or for a burger -- BUT. I have fond memories of hot open-faced sandwiches, so recently ordered hot turkey. Fake turkey, instant mashed potatoes, and the worst canned gravy ever. What a disappointment. read more

Stopped in during tulip time . Got seated after a minimal wait at the door. Waited 20 minutes for someone to come and wait on us. All of the tables who were seated after us had beverage service , and even some had their meals served. Left very disappointed. read more

Probably one of the few original eateries in Pella. Lots of places to eat but the Windmill Café has a wide variety. Has the feel of Hometown Café restaurant. They happen to be super busy but got us sat down in couple minutes and the food came out extremely fast! Services is great, food is great! read more

I went to the restaurant, was seated quickly but then couldn't get anyone to speak to us. We waited 20 minutes and watched multiple other customers be seated and served food, but could never get service. read more

In january we didn't wait. Service was prompt and friendly. Great soup and sandwich special. Onion rings were great too.

Food is great! Very nice atmosphere. I had the gyro, best in the area. Looks like the breakfast menu is pretty good too.

We stopped in for breakfast. Cute place right on the square. Clean, good service and the food hit the spot.
