Nina's Cafe

Truly the best breakfast in Kalamazoo

Always excellent food! The french toast is the best I've ever had, especially with the cinnamon butter. Ordered goulash to take home, can't wait to try that too!

The food tastes more homemade than other places and the retro dinner look creates a cool atmosphere. Everyone is really friendly there. Only down side I saw was the orange juice came from a machine and the quality was poor. Overall good place

Always great food and people! Best breakfast restaurant in town.

If you have never been to Nina’s Cafe, start now!!
I live in Texas now, but I go to Nina’s whenever I’m in K’zoo. It’s a GEM 💎

We came down to Kalamazoo so my wife could get some hospital scrubs and I wanted to take her and my two daughters to a great spot in my Western days. We came into a busy setting, but adequately staffed with what seemed to be 3 servers, 2 cooks and a bus person. Mind you this place has a small 10 (ish) person counter and 8 to 10 tables. We put our name on the wait list and a few minutes went by and were told a table was ready. It was not a formal "follow me" to your spot, just grab the table that obviously is for you. THEN WE WAITED! AND WAITED. Then a three top came in 5 minutes after. They were served silverware, menues and 2 minutes later, drinks. AND WE WAITED. 4 or 5 times servers passed us by serving others coffee refills, etc. Then table behind us left, new 2 top came in and were served within 2 minutes their silverware, then drinks. We didn't want to raise a fuss as we're not that type of folks. When the servers passed us two more times and after 15 minutes of waiting....it was time to leave. The kids were getting hungry. It's very upsetting to know that my favorite breakfast spot in college did this. What's more upsetting is we made eye contact with each server passing us by and no one seemed to even notice us in their place of business, about to pay for great food and tip plentifully. I chalk this visit down to piss poor service and a bad attitude that will now follow me to anyone asking for a great breakfast spot in KZoo. If your thinking of trying them out as a first timer, do yourself a favor and pass them by!

A Great place for a breakfast. The pancakes are the best in Kalamzoo and the Ashley's 6 egg omelet with shrimp, cream cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, and hollandaise sauce is "to-die-for". They have a great breakfast burrito as well and a complete breakfast and lunch menu. It's small but you really have to give this cafe a try.

Awesome food and great service

Busy little Cafe. Waitress was very nice, food was delivered very quickly! I had a fairly priced breakfast.

Breakfast menu had great omelet choices and many options that are not common to the usual places. Service was excellent. Not much of a place to look at but food made up for it.
