Very friendly and a great value for the money. I had the vegetable omelet that had plenty of vegetables and the rye bread was plenty good

I have loved the Valley Café ever since I was a young girl. They have a large variety of options, friendly staff, and excellent food that never disappoints. I love their food, the Harvey is one of my favorite sandwiches, and yesterday I also tried their vegetable soup, and it was delightful. It's a great place for breakfast or lunch.

Food was delicious, service was great. Only complaint is being handed a coffee mug with someone's lipstick still on it.

Such a hidden gem in merriman valley. Warm dive vibe for sure. Huge menu with so many options for vegetarians to big meat eaters. Love all the boozy drink options and specialty coffee drinks. If you love spice the spicy biscuits and gravy was amazing. Outdoor seating available but come early fills up fast. Will be back for sure. My new favorite breakfast place of 2024!!!

Only been here twice, will be remedying that. Good location, friendly staff, and GOOD FOOD!! The Dan's Barnyard is great, and a bit larger than expected - so, leftovers for later. Enough GF options for my wife also. Good coffee, refilled often. It's a keeper!

Clean, friendly, quality breakfast. I had the sausage biscuit and gray bowl. It was served in a cast iron pan and was a good amount of food. My first bite was a cold piece of sausage. That must have eluded the heat because the rest of the dish was nice and hot. I'd com back. Gone are the days of a $10 breakfast with coffee. Breakfast was $14-15 and the coffee was $3.50. $24 with tip...it was good. I don't know if it was "that" good.

*** This review was a drafted review that mistakenly got saved as a draft and not posted. Contains seasonal items that may not be currently available *** Atmosphere: this little cafe is just as inviting as its sister location in Wadsworth. What's great about this location is that they serve alcohol on Sundays as opposed to the Wadsworth location that doesn't because of city regulations. The people are very nice and it was very clean and well lit. Bustling with laughter from other families and everyone enjoying themselves. Food: I went with my friend and she got the eggs Benedict that she absolutely devoured. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the presentation was beautiful as well. She had a seasonal iced coffee and it tasted exactly like a birthday cake but not over sweet. I got what I always get. The crispy chicken sandwich and I always customize it to make it like a chicken club with lettuce, Swiss, bacon and Mayo. Literally the only place around that makes a chicken sandwich I can not get enough of. I had a couple different mimosas as well and they were both delicious. I truly can't think of a single complaint with the food or service. Everyone is so funny, nice and wonderful there. We return often!

Made our first visit to this local breakfast and lunch spot this week. The inside was a pleasant surprise; it's so pretty and cozy and cheerful. There were a lot of outdoor tables too, and the whole place was busy on a Tuesday afternoon. I chose the French Toast with sausage and it was excellent. Service was diner-style - proficient and kind of minimal. The only real drawback was the temperature; the AC was cranking and I was cold even with a sweatshirt on. I'll look forward to visiting again in the fall.

Just moved to The Valley and I got blessed with an awesome breakfast -lunch spot. They apparently must treat the staff well because there's a lot of them. I have been there twice in the few weeks I have lived here and both times I didn't leave disappointed. As a matter of fact I might have created more fans because I was not alone. Small place, but outdoor dining is available. They close at 3. It's a nice atmosphere. Very relaxing and a great menu. I plan on returning. There's a lot a tasty looking food I have yet to try. BTW- good coffee.
