Everything about Vinny’s cafe was amazing. From the food, to the staff. I felt so at home I will absolutely be coming back. Shane and the owner were fantastic, 10 outta 10. I recommend for anyone looking for a little hole in the wall, family feel, Italian cafe.

Lovely little Cafe'.. breakfast is unbelievably affordable. Staff and owner are wonderful. Limited hours, so check hours before you go. A true hidden gem.

I found this eatery through Maps to have some breakfast before heading home. We were quickly seated and ordered our drinks. I ordered the Country Fried Steak off of the Specials menu. Good gravy that wasn't too salty. My wife had a Blueberry Pancake. Everything was fresh, tasty, and arrived fast. This small eatery in a strip shopping center is very cool and homey. The owner is present and talks with everyone. Great stop!

Great atmosphere. Vinny checks each table and greets customers cordially. Uses his grandmother’s Italian sausage gravy. Can’t beat the prices!

What a special little spot to seek out for a local breakfast! Looking forward to trying lunch soon! Vinny made sure to stop by to check on us and we couldn’t have been more pleased! Will definitely recommend to all my local and visiting friends! Very reasonable prices! Feeling like 1999

The omlette was delicious! Large servings and quick service! My kiddo also loved her blueberry pancake. It's a small place but a great experience!
