Cherry Street Cafe

I was in the area and searched for a place to grab a little bite for breakfast. I am not a fan of chains, and this place was close, so I figured, why not? They have their own small parking lot, which I liked over street parking. When I first walked in, I wasn't sure if I was to wait for a seat or what the ordering process was at this cafe. After a quick scan of the place, I realized you ordered at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Most of the tables were full of people already, but we were able to find seating. There was a menu on the wall with various breakfast and lunch items. Most looked to be made from scratch, which was impressive! I ordered the half order of buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, which comes with potatoes and added two eggs. My son opted for the Italian sub with fries. He ordered hot chocolate and I opted for a coffee. The wait was about 30 minutes for our food, which was understandable as they were working with a very small crew --keep in mind it was the week of Christmas! The two workers I saw were very friendly and quickly working the entire time. We both loved our food, even though the wait was quite long. It was definitely worth it! I am a biscuit and gravy snob and I would definitely eat it again. My son's Italian sub was perfect with hand cut french fries. He absolutely loved his hot chocolate. The coffee was not the best and my eggs were a little salty. That's probably my only complaint.Overall: if you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you. If you want delicious food made from scratch with a small hometown feel, and don't mind the wait, I highly suggest you give it a try!

This is my second visit to this place, and I have to say, today was truly amazing! The first time didn't leave much of an impression, though I can't quite remember why. But everything was perfect today! We ordered pancakes, eggs with bacon, and biscuits and gravy. My husband is obsessed with the biscuits and gravy -- they're perfectly seasoned. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and flavorful, while the potatoes were crispy and seasoned just right. The eggs were great as well. My only suggestion would be to have the bacon a bit crispier. The coffee was on point, and the owner was so attentive, making sure everyone had everything they needed. This place will definitely become a weekend favorite! Can't wait to come back!

Great food. Great service. Filled with charm. Just a few yards off the beaten path near the train station. Good sized portions. We don't make it to Lebanon often, but definitely a place we'll be coming back to.

It was recommended to try the biscuits and gravy. They were really tasty! There was only one guy working and I feel like he did an excellent job considering he was taking the orders AND cooking. There were 5 of us and we all got our food at the same time! Yes, it was a bit of a wait (about 30 minutes), but I was still impressed that the guy managed to do it all. The interior of the restaurant felt like a log cabin. It felt very homey and welcoming.

Have been here about half a dozen times since we moved here 3 years ago. Have been here the last two Sundays in a row and both times the first thing said when we get to the counter to place an order is "guys it's about a 45 minute wait right now". I get it there is a labor shortage because people are lazy and prefer to make money from the couch but there were two parties ahead of us and nothing of the sort was said to either of them. Not trying to be a whiney @ss but if you're a small business actively pushing people out the door, it's not a good look.

Great food, great service and atmosphere is really good, nothing like homemade food, you may have to wait for a few minutes but it's worth the wait....Joe is amazing, everything that I have had is so yummy...

Arrived at 11am on a Sunday morning. Tables empty everywhere with dirty dishes on every single one. Food was nothing special and it took well over an hour to receive our food after placing our order. I could have made the same things better myself at home. Staff was friendly. Poor girl working the register was also serving food and drinks. I had high hopes for this local restaurant but was very disappointed.

Food is amazing! I had a grilled chicken club. Obviously now that this chef has culinary school training. Quiet quaint setting. You order at the register. Check it out. Excellent!!

i've been going for years and i live about 40 mins away, to day i went to lebanon just for this place. and every time it is wonderful. the food is fantastic. the owner is very nice, and it is very cozy for a breakfast place. all in all i love this place and it'll always be a go to breakfast spot for me. only think i wish was different is a "cashier" or someone there just to help him out.

Overpriced Unfriendly Never go backFood was mediocre at best No follow up Ambiance none
