Great place for breakfast. Frie day staff.

December 15, 2024

Coffee is watered down. Full breakfast is $11 I wanted just eggs and one slice of toast. They said they would charge me accordingly. When we went up to pay she charged me $9. I said that was ridiculous. She shrugged her shoulders. I said you took $2 off for bacon and home fries she said yes that’s what that costs so I hope when I go back and order just bacon and home fries thats what it will cost $2. Coffee was like dirty dish water. Not sure what happened this place use to be great. Would go after church every Sunday. Now they are gauging customers.

Easily the best and cheapest food in Welland. Friendly staff, both the servers and kitchen. Wednesday definitely the best day to go because its not super busy like the weekends. You can get a turkey club at 7am and bacon and eggs at 1pm, its great. Highly recommend, lots of parking too! Vegetarian options: Veggie omelette is pretty good. And the rancharo is also pretty good. Parking: 2 full parking lots. Kid-friendliness: Dont have a kids menu, but they charge less if you get 1 pancake instead of 3. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.

Busy place and the cleaning was top notch and the cultural atmosphere was great! Second visit...eyed the club sandwich on a plate being served and knew right away I had to have the Turkey Bacon Club with Onion Rings. It was amazing! Big enough to split the platter. Everything was so fresh and the turkey was actual real turkey!

This was a great breakfast experience. The staff were amazing. Our waitress was so nice and very attentive. The coffee was constantly flowing as well which was perfect. I had eggs and bacon ( and they ask if you want crispy and they delivered) and hash browns with rye toast. Very good for the total being $12 and that was with the endless coffee. Definitely recommend.

The food was great, fresh and fast (frwnch toast w sausage, 2 eggs with lemeal, 2 blts with vimefries, orange juice, coffee). Also, Our server was super nice. My concern was at the end when I requested a bill and the cashier laughed at me. I just wanted to see a breakdown of the food costs but instead of providing a bill, she kept laughing in a condescending way and said well I know what you guys had and proceeded to list off our order without the prices. Very odd interaction. How are customers supposed to know if theyre being charged incorrectly if you dont provide them with a bill? A bit sketchy...

Of all the places we have had breakfast in Welland, this is the worst for me, I would not return. Food is not the problem. The displeasure is because their dishes are not in relation to what they cost. What you see here cost $16 (only the first dish), nowhere else do they serve you so poorly. The same thing happened with my daughters pancakes, poor in presentation and not economical.

We are always looking for restaurants that not only offer gluten free (allergy), but that make real food in their restaurant! Welland Cafe does not disappoint. We went for breakfast and both had the Chili Omelette with Home Fries. Wow!!!! So delicious. The omelette is thin and perfectly cooked and the amount of Chili and cheese on top is perfect. The flavour is amazing and it definitely was a successful tastebud party. My husband was offered tomato slices to replace the bread. Service was amazing and all staff we interacted with were super friendly! The restaurant is super clean! There was a waitress cleaning every menu, condiment bottles and tray after each use. They are definitely following social distancing protocol. I m giving them a 10/10. It was a perfect end to a morning at the Welland Farmer s Market!
