Ordered the fish and chips and coconut shrimp. Staff were nice despite a bit unorganized as messed up the name on my order. Order was 10mins or so behind schedule also after they gave me a time roughly 50 mins for 4 pieces of fish and 1 order of shrimp. Do not recommend the fish! Wet and batter was soggy and reminded me more of a chicken ball batter. No crisp at all! Fish not flakey. Fries some were good other batch very soggy and undercooked. Coconut shrimp were perfect! Best part of the meal. Coleslaw bland and small portion. Will not be back unless better reviews in the future. Shame cause love supporting these smaller local owned shops
My favourite breakfast place. Always excellent. Great food, great service, excellent people. What more can you ask for?
The Good: the food, overall, is decent, perfectly cooked scrambled and over easy eggs, good coffee & tea, good juices and the ham & breakfast sausages were good (a little under browned for me but still tasty). The Bad: not great we had to get up and get our own menus after waiting about 15 mins for someone to bring them even though we were seen coming in and sitting down - yet the next new customers who came in right beside us received their menus within seconds; the manager was the only person who smiled and asked if we needed anything else; bacon very salty but that’s a personal preference and the home fries a little under browned The Ugly: nothing was that bad to write here
Nov 2024 update - had the Philly Cheese omelette based on Connie's recommendation and it is delicious - a 10 for sure! Original review: Enjoyed breakfast with my wife at the Market Cafe today. Our omelettes were tasty and filling, and I liked the option of having my home fries grilled rather than deep fried. Our waitress was quick, friendly and attentive. Even though she had quite a number of folks show up after we had ordered, she was still able to keep an eye on our table to make sure we were well taken care of. The price was very reasonable and likely cheaper than many other independent breakfast spots. Next time, we'll have to try the mimosas and Bellini's for a more adventurous start to the day!
The manager of the motel we've been staying at recommended this place for breakfast and they did not disappoint. We both ordered eggs benedict and they were very good. I meant to ask for the waitresses name to give her a compliment but I forgot...
I bought 2 2 piece fish and chip dinners tonight and although it was good and my sweet potato fries were delicious the portion was not good. The fish was alot smaller than I remember and the cole-slaw was only filled half way. Both pieces of fish were the size of 1 in total and for 18.99 I was disappointed. I definately never had this experience before from there. It's too bad because this was always my favorite place in town for fish and chips.
Stopped here on a whim and we are so glad we did. Awesome service Great prices, food cooked perfectly and the menu had something for all of us. From amazing breakfast, poutine burgers, Mac and cheese bites to deep fried pickles. Also daily specials and homemade soup. We will definitely be going back.
Awesome service, huge portions! (This is just part of the order). Placed an order and within 30 minutes (in a snow storm I may add) was our dinner! Absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Thank you so much!!
Best homemade food
Tried this place out for the first time today and we really enjoyed it! Busy place with minimal staff who went out of their way to make sure we had great food and a great experience!
Great food homemade soups a s baked goods to take home.
Its my go to for all day breakfast.
Excellent service, food & value for money!
Breakfast was ok. The window ledge needs to be cleaned, bugs, and lots of spiders web..
We had the worst experience at this restaurant for my Husbands birthday. Lou, our waitress spilled all the drinks on my 4 yr old and myself and we were drenched. The most they did was comp our drinks.
Our food looked unappetizing and there was very little food we had to wait 5 minutes to get drinks and almost another 20 minutes for food not to mention the bathroom floor was very sticky my feet stuck to the floor I wonder when the last time they cleaned the floor was and are server only check up on us when we finished eating not while we were eating
This was our 1st time here, and I heard about it from my cousin. FOOD WAS GREAT STAFF ARE GREAT AND PRICES ARE CHEAP!!! I will be going back for sure!!!
Great place , servers are awesome
Very nice place great food and service
Had the Western Omelette. Very good and a good price too. Great value for the money. Definitely recommend. Food
by far best breakfast i ve had in port colborne. their prices are amazing also for lunch/dinners
My family and I showed up 5 minutes before closing, not realizing what their hours were. We going to turn around but the owner waved us in and graciously served us, even though we there just before closing. Fantastic food, fantastic service and fantastic people. I will gladly go back.
Coffee is really bad Taste like water. I couldnt finish the cup Food
Pleasant staff, a variety of tasty menu options and coffee and teas. I miss them being downtown, but their new(er) location at the corner of King and Main is great and parking is much easier too Food : 5/5
A great inexpensive place for breakfast/lunch. Service is amazing...very quick and will allow for provisions if possible.
Great service
Absolutely amazing experience. Very well treated. Great food.
We have had breakfast boxes, lunches and dinners.. We have done pick up and delivery. Fast friendly service. Today, they accommodated a large short nice take out order for us and we appreciated it!! Prices were reasonable and food was great! I was I took pics!!!!
Staff is so friendly and my favorite thing is french toast
Quaint. I ate an amazing vegetarian sandwich with the best sweet potato fried I have ever had!
Very friendly and reasonably priced.
Everything was great! Would recommend!
Amazing little cafe with delicious food and drinks! I often stop by for lunch or breakfast and always have to get a chia latte! Staff is always friendly and helpful! Amazing specials and great options on the regular menu! They also started advertising charcuterie boards which I had delivered for Valentine s Day. This was an amazing spread! Many different cheeses, crackers, fruit and meats. Very delicious and beautifully displayed in the box! 10/10 recommend order these!
Sunday tradition. Daughter loves there fluffy pancakes . Dont forget the chocolate chips too.
Amazing breakfast, prices were good, highly recommend
Very friendly and quiant little dinner. Food is delicious and well priced.
Some of the better home fries Ive tried in a while, along with the toasted Western.
From the food to the staff its well worth it to have breakfast, lunch, or supper here! even cater any of your events!! oh.. and DESSERTS too!!!
Food is always delicious and they have amazing service!!!! Always friendly and welcoming!!!!
I havent even eater here (YET)! All I did was drop off a delivery to this Cafe. I was beyond surprised at the service I recieved just as a delivery person . The young lady at the front was bright and so kind to me . When I helped bring in the groceries in from the kitchen, every single one of the ladys was talking, smiling and treating me as if I already knew them . For the cherry on top, the owner herself was the first person that has ever offered me food . I politely declined as I had already eaten but she would not take no for an answer . She brought me to the front and I picked out a cookie and a bottle of orange juice because I knew I wasnt going to be let out without something . I live in welland but will make the trip now to support her business when I can .
Great food and service
Best steak wrap in town. Friendly service, great portions and they serve it so quickly!
Great food, awesome service.
Great Breakfast Spot.
I was going to write it in an email but couldnt find it on the website . We had a Ruben and a chicken wrap and the portions were extremely small. The Ruben had one or two pieces of beef and very small piece of rye bread, salad was nothing special at all. The chicken ceaser was also super small. For $20 each the value is lacking. Clean place
I cant remember the last time my 5 year old cleaned his plate. That was a great lunch.
What a joy to discover that theres still a tradiitional, inexpensive bacon-and-eggs-breakfast place in Niagara, after so many have either gone bust, transitioned into pretentiousness, or upped their prices into second-mortgage-meal territory. A good feed of bacon and eggs now and then is still a joy to me, and were so glad we found a place where they still do it right. We confined our choices to breakfast fare, all excellent and very well priced - but the rest of the menu looks tempting enough for a return visit some time soon.
Amazing service! They helped me in a pinch with a catering order and I am so grateful! Thank you :)
Best eggs Benedict Ive had in a long time! Dont let the simple (but clean) decor put you off. This place is a gem.
We been ordering the Market Bagel for a couple years now (bacon & scrambled mmmm) and it s so ******* GOOD. Cheers guys keep up the tasty food!
Great Breakfast!
What a wonderful place to get breakfast, served all day. Today was fish and chips and there was many customers coming in for eat in or take out. Soup of day served fresh or take it home frozen. The service is friendly and the food is yummy. I cant wait to go back.
Had lunch from Market Cafe today had lunch special and it was great. Thanks for the free delivery. Support local
Great place , was here in the summer for lunch, came in kissy before closing and the staff was great, had no issue serving us even though they had already mopped up and everything. Sandwiches were amazing and great prices. Will definitely visit again any time I m in port Colbourne. Keep up the good work, not many great places like this anymore
I got the perch and sweet potato fries and my only complaint is that they gave me so much I feel like Im going to explode! It was delicious! The perch was perfectly cooked and the fries were great and numerous!!! So many fries, lol. Grabbed some frozen soups while I was there too, great for work lunches. Highly recommend!
Great food. Fast friendly service.
Great breakfast and very friendly!!!!
Always delicious and so fresh!
We had the fish & chips and enjoyed it.
The food and service is good here
This place is soooooo good. We were staying nearby for a few days and we came here for brunch twice back to back. Everything we ordered was really tasty. I personally recommend the Mac Daddy Burger; truly the best burger Ive had in a long time. The entire staff was super friendly to us. Pretty sure the chef came to hand us a few dishes herself. Thanks again for the wonderful food and for treating us so well! Well definitely stop by again if were ever around :)
Our group of 6 decided to stop here for brunch over the Victoria long weekend. Everything was DELICIOUS. The burgers were juicy and tender, pancakes + french toast were fluffy and soft and the homefries were actually crispy!! Our group loved it so much - we decided to go again the next day. 10/10 would recommend if youre ever in the area :) Workers were super friendly and sweet too.
Delicious and quickly prepared breakfast to go and I was so grateful that they cared enough to double check about a food allergy #breakfasttogo #shoplocal #timmieswho?
Really great fish and chips.
Friendly staff and food was tasty.. recommending the fish! Very delicious
Amazing breakfast!
Good selection, friendly staff, nice open concept ambiance
Amazing!!! Potatos = perfect. Omelette = amazing. Coffee = delicious. Service = great! The food is delicious and the menu is pleasing.
Brought my niece to breakfast and the service was amazing. The recommendations on the food options were spot on! The pancakes were huge and they offered different fruit options to put in them. The restaurant was clean comfortable and welcoming.
The best breakfast in Port Colborne! They have a waitress who is very tall & slim with dark hair- she is hands down the kindest, most bubbly & happy personality I have ever met. My boyfriend and I just came across Market Cafe this June, and every time we come in, she is so happy to see us, has a welcoming smile and makes us feel very comfortable. She will check in for refills often, and if there is a lot of food left on your plate she will ask you if something is wrong with it or if you need a replacement of something- she just seems to genuinely care whether or not we are having a good dining experience , and seems very happy to serve us, everytime. Next time we are in, we will ask for your name! Hats off to you Market Cafe, it is hard to find service like this these days.
Brunch is too good. We loved it!! Yummy omelette and soft pancakes !! So kind service. Definitely will be back.
They used to have a great vegetarian burger which is missing now. Nice people. They take good care of you.
Great place for breakfast.
Love this place! Great service, food and prices. Always a first choice for breakfast.
Great prices, great service staff and excellent food. Couldnt be happier with my outing this morning.
Fast and friendly service.
Had breakfast here with my Dad. Fast, friendly service. Very reasonably priced too.
Ive never done a review before. But, this place was so terrible, I felt compelled to let others know. We ordered the mozzarella Burger without mushrooms because we had a person allergic to mushrooms. The burger came with lots of mushrooms and no mozzarella cheese. Needless to say they couldnt eat the burger and we couldnt take it back because we were already on the highway. The garlic aioli sauce was literally the size of a quarter. We also ordered the pierogi platter. We paid $13 for eight pierogies. The fish platter was way over cooked. The one piece of fish was actually crunchy. I would not recommend this place at all. Extremely overpriced food for no quality. Dietary restrictions: Allergic to mushrooms
Had the pan fried fish tonight for dinner and my family had the fish and chips. I want to eat healthier but dont like fish unless its covered in batter and tartar sauce but decided to try the pan fried fish and coleslaw tonight and I must say I am not sorry I did its the first time I have ever eaten everything on my plate when it come to fish. It was amazing and I will now only eat Connies pan fried fish from now on. Every Friday is fish and chips night in my house I am happy I found a healthier option for myself while my family can still have the fish they enjoy
I came to Port Colborne for some work. I went to Market cafe for a late breakfast. The Veggie omlette was tasty, sumptuous and a filling meal. The owners were really very nice and hospitable. If i come back to Port Colborne, this will always be my go-to restaurant for breakfast. Thanks for the hospitality and really good food.
Staff are very customer-friendly; the food is good, and prices are fair. We will definitely go there again. p.s. the Friday fish night should not be missed.
Stopped in for the fish fry. It was very good. The haddock was a large portion and the fries were very good. Everything was very clean and the staff followed the safety rules and wore masks. Will be going back.
Absolutely the best place to meet friends. Great coffee.
Always have the halibut but last time it was greasy and not crazy on the coleslaw. Prefer with coleslaw dressing not the last one with the black seed in it or whatever they are.
Sorry about this but u support anchors away and for that i give u 1 and your food is not that great
best brrakfeast in the world noone compares there cute staff is fast n awesome
Very friendly and amazing food with great prices!!
Amazing breakfast, very friendly staff, and prices were great!

First time tonight my husband and l got their fish&chips what a waste of $25.00 their frys were ice cold and the fish was so dried out not sure if its the person cooking or not but we will not be going again
My favorite breakfast place in Port. Not amazing nor the best food but it feel and taste like how breakfast should be
been going to both locations... excellent.. prices are great
Great menu and superb service
Beautiful restaurant. Food is amazing! I enjoyed my meal. I recommend the coming here.
Super friendly staff
Although I live in Macon, Georgia, USA; I wanted to buy a gift card for a special friend. After a google search I found The Market Cafe on W Main Street and spoke with Emily Bailey, who was extremely helpful. She listened to my request and mailed me the gift card in a timely fashion. She was pleasant to talk to and her actions will no doubt brighten the day of the disabled recipient who will enjoy a meal or two at the Market Cafe. Many thanks, Emily.
Kind staff, great food
There food is really good. Fish and chips are delicious. I highly recommend them
Very pleasant staff,great food,very nice atmosphere.
Everything is homemade, it is very clean and the owner is really nice. I highly recommend it.

Nice little place. Had a breakfast croissants and coffees. Very friendly staff.
Little pricey but great food and service will be back
Nice little place, delightful staff. Took my kids here for lunch today, what a pleasant place to visit. I will be back, gotta try the espresso.
Best grilled cheese Ive ever had. Very fast service and perfectly clean.
The greeting as we walked in was very pleasant and even asked if we were first time customers ensuring we knew where everything was , absolutely wonderful. The food was great and the coffee was tasty , we highly recommend this establishment Thank you Paul
Nice people and great prizes!
I had breakfast at this cafe today. I have been a number of times in the past and have always enjoyed their food and friendly service...which is why I went back today. However, very disappointingly, none of the staff were wearing masks!..not even the person, who seemed to be the owner, who served me my food. Perhaps its because I am a Canadian (polite to a fault as they say) , but I didnt question the staff or ask them to take the breakfast back and make a new one with staff wearing masks which is what I probably should have done. I do hope to be able to go back in the future but will be inquiring about their care and service to the community by wearing PPE and hope that everything they have now breathed all over is sanitized by then.
Good food, simple little breakfast place.
Was working in town today and needed to find a place to sit and eat with my coworker where we could have a working lunch. This place was spotless and the servers were so friendly. The owner made a point to come and speak with us and she told us how they had only been in their new location for a few weeks. Our meals were great and so was the coffee. I don t get to Port Colborne much (I m from Hamilton) but when I return, I ll definitely be stopping in again. So very refreshing to be served by nice people who truly care about their customers dining experience. Hats off to all of you and the best of luck during a difficult time for small business!
The staff is always friendly and always goes out of their way to accommodate me. Thank you and Merry Christmas
Tasty food, nice location, decent service and good prices.
Very good
A great place for food and service. Felt like a throw back to the old style downtown restaurant food is home made and it shows. A real delight, will be back.
Only had coffee this mornings but my previous meals have been delicious. Nice variety of daily fresh soup and sandwiches
The food is always fresh and the prices very good. The service is very good as well. Last time we shared a chicken Caesar wrap. The chicken was cooked when ordered so it wasnt a premade wrap which was nice.
Food is always great, prices are excellent. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere in downtown Port Colborne.
2 vegan lunches. Super. Great nice staff.
Always a pleasure to eat here. Coffee is good.
Amazing food and staff love this little cafe

Good place to grab a coffee or a bite to eat
We had a great breakfast at this place. The food was good and the price was right.
As someone who worked in Port Colborne and someone who regularly goes back , I can t say enough good things about the market cafe- the employees and owner. This was one of my fav spots when I worked close by and I make it a point to visit there when I can. I ve never had any issues with the staff nor the owner. The owner is involved in the community and cares about each and every customer. It s a shame that someone has to come on here and make false accusations. The food at the market cafe is amazing - it s home made comfort food that tastes like it comes out of your mother s kitchen The staff are extremely friendly and make it a point to make you feel welcome. If you re in the area , be sure to hit this place up as you will not be disappointed
Incredible carrot cake and the staff is amazing ..best place in town to stop for breakfast or lunch, also there Christmas cookie platers are the best!
What a wonderful place! Both the food and atmosphere are spectacular! I will be returning every time the pulled pork is served and many times in between to enjoy the rest of the appetizing menu. Thank you for making my Thursday beautifully yummy!
A small quiet little cafe with great pastries and friendly service. It is very clean and well organized and has a friendly atmosphere. The sandwiches are really great as are the soups. But even a nice place just to sit down and have a cup of coffee.
Great breakfast place. Casual, comfortable and reasonable.
Nice small town lunch. Had the Thai veggie panini... Best sandwich Ive ever had!
Love this little cafe. Great place to meet up with friends!
Love it here, great little gem
