Talk of the Town Cafe

Heading north to drop our son off at college and luckily listened to the previous reviews about this place. Good food, sweet small town vibes, and great service! Worth the quick detour and the street it’s on is equally quaint!

We sat on the balcony and had a simple breakfast and coffee. It was very nice. The friendly people of Clifton Springs greeted us as they drove by.

First, super friendly workers. Very patient and humorous. We got there just before the lunch rush so our food hit the table fast. I ordered the Memphis bbq and potato salad was not disappointed. Great portions on both. It got very busy during the lunch rush and the owner of the establishment jumped in with both feet to help his two servers. That says something because every table was full and the food got out quite efficiently. Coffee was great. I had the salted caramel and again not disappointed. And it sounds odd to say this but you need to check out the men's room there. No spoilers.

Awesome place. Owners are great. Such a unique place with fantastic food!!!

Good food, good atmosphere, good service. Down to earth, classic American coffee ad breakfast. Clean bathroom too! They were out of non-dairy creamer at their self serve coffee station, but I'm sure they would have found some if I asked. Great spot!

Talk of the Town Cafe is a small, cozy cafe with seating for about thirty patrons. It's the type of cafe where you go for the company as much as the food. There is a nice selection of self-service coffee, supplied by a local roaster. The ...

Staff were amazing and the whole place felt cozy. It had a lot of regulars but they were all very nice and welcoming to my girlfriend and I. It's unusual to say, but if you do go here, I recommend using the bathroom or even just looking at it for a good laugh.
