Cafe 1217

My husband and I are visiting Hot Springs for our 25 year anniversary. We stopped in Cafe 1217 for a sweet treat to enjoy back at the hotel after dinner and I have to say their desserts are super delicious. On top of that, the staff was friendly and kind. For us, that's just as important as the quality of the food and they did not disappoint. I definitely will return to try something off their lunch menu on our next visit. Thank you ladies for making delicious treats and for your kindness. Keep up the great work!

We met some locals for our first visit here, and were very impressed with the quality and freshness of the dishes. Some unusual and striking options, such as the avocado pie, were "must try" selections and greatly enjoyed at our table. We had sandwiches and salads, followed by pie. I'm sure we will be back. The prices are a bit high, but not out of line with the quality. The arrangement (order on the right side of the counter, pay at the left, pick up drinks at the left, return to the right to retrieve the entrees) makes sense but is a bit uncomfortable for a newcomer. We got the sense that most of the customers were regulars.

Loved finding this gem in Hot Springs. Fresh food with plenty of healthy and not so healthy options. Lovely ladies working here.

Everything is amazing but getting a lower star because of the prices of their dishes.

Food was unbelievably delicious. Just got a sticker shock when we saw the sales tax was so high. Calculated it at 12.5%!? I don't know why this is.

Hard time deciding what to order! In the end, think it might be a little high in price, but everything was excellent and exactly what I was looking for: light, fresh fare! If I lived here I'd definitely be back!

Wow wow wow! This is one of the best cafe/deli counters I have ever been to. So much flavor and the perfect ingredients. Perfect croissant sandwich and apple slaw. Finish your experience with the chocolate chunk cookie!

Great food and service! We've had several business luncheons here and this is our go-to!

Great food, wide menu, good vibes but a little too expensive imo

Service not applicable. Food tasty and well prepared. Walls decorated eclectic. Temp fine. Lighting appropriate.
