Cottage Cafe

Ordered takeout as our first time here. A small house that is open for lunch and they close at 2:30 pm. They have been in business for 31 years.You get big desserts here at a reasonable price. My hamburger ( I think salt and pepper could gone a long way) had no flavor and the dessert was ok. My wife liked her food.They cater to an older crowd and may explain the food flavor. The service was outstanding and a women run operation. Since it was our first time they comped out dessert which was outstanding.Read in one review the BLT is good here, so will try that next time.

What a great cafe. The restaurant is in an old house and the entry is from the back, off a parking lot. To be seated, we had to walk past the dessert case. One look at the coconut cream pie and I was a goner. I was with 3 teenage grandchildren. Those boys all wanted the hamburger. It was certainly good.The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch. We were the last people to leave so I had the ladies box up an assortment of the desserts for us to take home. I told the ladies that I didn't want those desserts to feel ignored and lonely over night! We took care of 'em, yes we did!

Yay!Always a delicious treat that will NAIL your sweet tooth! I grew up qalking here from my grandparents house as a child. It's nice to see it still rocking out yummy food!

The desserts.....OMG! We came for lunch and the food was excellent, I got the Reuben with potato salad and my partner got the Fall Salad. When paying up front we noticed the desserts and got a slice of Key Lime Pie and Ebony and Ivory cake to go. Holy Crap the desserts were amazing.

This used to be a great spot to visit on lunch breaks many years ago. Now, I think it's overpriced for what you get. I had the hot brown but it was mostly cheese and a dinky open face sandwich. My husband wasn't impressed with his club for the price. The staff was nice and the atmosphere was the same from years ago. It's nice they're consistent at least.

I chatted with some of the staff and learned that I was speaking with the owner and her daughter. The owner explained the restaurant's story - open 30 years. The building used to be a single family home, so it makes for an interesting look and some history. Owner noted that she goes out of her way to employ folks with special needs, and she received pushback for her BLM sign out front but has no plans to take it down.Great little not-quite-hole in the wall...Unique and memorable...Especially recommend to out-of-towners looking for a more genuine "Kentucky experience."

Got a chance to finally go check out Cottage Cafe at 11609 Main St. in the heart of Middletown. They've been here for 31 years and somehow I just learned about this gem recently. We tried the Cafe Club and Country Club sandwiches and grabbed a Benedictine and bacon sandwich to go(not pictured.) Both were great and came with delicious in season homegrown tomatoes. Don't skip dessert even if you get it to go... it's what they're known for. We tried the Miss Margaret cake which was a toffee and chocolate cake with little toffee pieces throughout. Even though we were already full we still managed to finish it... It was phenomenal. And the price for 3 sandwiches + sides, drinks with refills, and a huge slice of cake was just $32 and some change!!!The vibe is country quaint/// feels like a relative is in the back making you lunch in all the best ways. I'm already planning a trip back to try the tuna melt and the hot brown. All of the staff were sooo friendly and owner Susan even came out and gave us an extra slice of cake to take home with us because it was our first visit. Go check it out!!!Pro Tip: parking and the entrance are in the back and always save room for dessert.

It's a little house off the main road... cute. Seems very warm and inviting! Looking forward to trying everything on the menu!

I have lived in Kentucky 28 years and I have had my share of hot browns but never one as good as I had here. They only have it twice a week so call and check. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

My Happy Place!!! Great food!! Susan (the owner) is not only a wonderful chef but, also a truly good person and it shows!!!
