“ OMG! Don’t be sleeping on this cafe! The location view (loved the industrial/train track drive up and ample amount of parking on street and in rear. Wheelchair safe and more than enough room to maneuver. THE FOOD! Biscuits and gravy, cinnamon pancakes, and cheeseburger were phenomenal. Home fries and shoe-string fries were perfectly crispy. Chef was a one-person wreaking ball. Taking orders, running food, and making bellies happy. Bet, we’ll be back. ”
“ Highly recommend Cherry Street Cafe to anyone in the area. The food is fresh and phenomenal, cooked to order, so there is a wait time, but it's well worth it. The biscuits and sausage gravy were heavenly, peppery with loads of sausage and flaky soft biscuits. The French toast was fresh and pure perfection, thick cut bread, by hand, pan fried perfectly. The home fries are incredible, so crispy with an amazing flavor from the seasoning. All around really enjoyed everything about my breakfast here, very kind staff, nice atmosphere for the smaller diner. Very comfy. ”
“ Delicious homemade food at a really fair price. Everything was made fresh by the chef and the food was delicious. Biscuits and gravy with a side of fried potatoes!!! ”
“ Amazing food. The biscuits and gravy are delicious. There's only one guy doing everything, so don't go if you're in a hurry but it is well worth the wait. The prices are good too. ”
“ I came here looking for a nice place to have a quality breakfast. I love it. The customers all seemed happy and satisfied. There were people of all ages and the place is quiet and laid back. Everything is made with love and FRESH! I had an opportunity to get my order taken by the owner Joe who is also the cook. While he was taking the order he took his time and made sure I got what I wanted even though I took my sweet time ordering and it was very busy. I love the culture and decor. It’s a nice family environment. I can’t wait to come back with my husband to try lunch. It’s also 12:50 while I’m writing this and they are serving me breakfast. . Can’t beat it. Thank you cherry street cafe and thank you Joe for recommending the pancakes they are amazing. (I’m a French toast girl) I will be back! This place is a good find. I got up twice adding things to my meal order with no hesitation he applied them and gave me the best breakfast I had i had in Cincinnati so far. (New to the area). ”
“ The biscuits and sausage gravy was absolutely delicious! So were the crispy home fries and bacon! I grew up in East Tennessee, so I know what true southern biscuits and gravy should taste like. Bring your patience and lots of it because this wonderful chef owner is a one man show and a very hard worker!!! Do not go there if you’re in a hurry. Be patient. Be kind. ”
“ Never disappoints. Best biscuits and gravy without a doubt. Even better than your grandma’s recipe, guaranteed. Everything is made from scratch, included the biscuits. Everything else on the menu is very good as well. Sometimes there is a decent wait to order/get food, but all good things, like this food, is well worth the wait. ”
“ Delicious. We got the southwest omelette and biscuits and gravy and it was some of the best breakfast food we’ve ever had. The potato’s are SOO good & crispy too. The waitress was very sweet, too. Just do not go if you’re in a rush! It’s one guy cooking all the food individually, but so so worth the wait. ”
