For breakfast in the Elberta area, this little spot was spot on!Both indoor and outdoor seating options.Staff follows current COVID standards.Menu has all the standard breakfast items you want and the coffees hot!Family of 3 full breakfast plus drinks was only 28.00!!!!Prices are awesome and portions are filling!Grab yourself a deluxe breakfast burrito or that early bird special!

Great gem of a restaurant. The Turkey bacon wrap was plentiful and tasty. The Turkey Ruben was gooey and good. The best part was the homemade potato chips - they were real and they were spectacular!

Really great food, atmosphere and service. If I’m back in the area I’d definitely go back.I had the western omelette, and it was terrific. My daughter had the loaded hashbrowns, and she loved it.It’s a really small place so it fills up quick. Be sure to get there early if you can.Dietary restrictions: Our party had issues with both gluten and dairy, and no one had any problems finding options or issues after eating there.They do also have GF toast.

Good breakfast. Staff very friendly and kept the coffee coming. Great early bird special and prices overall. Hash browns not as crispy as I like, but I'm pretty picky. Will definitely be coming back!

Delicious!!! We stopped in for brunch after a morning in the woods. Quaint little spot, waitress was really sweet and kept my coffee full!! We both had the Farmers omelet.

Have dined here multiple times while on vacation and will keep going back. Great outdoor patio on nice weather days. Service is always great and food is excellent with huge portions at reasonable prices. The staff went above and beyond a week ago when we accidentally left a backpack behind. Even though they were closed the next two days they arranged to get it back to us on their day off. They were super gracious and kind. Highly recommend this place. And if there’s a wait just play bags/Corn-hole in the yard while you wait!

Very cozy area for brunch or lunch. Get there early because spots fill up fast, there is not a lot of seating inside, but wait times are not too bad.Come hungry!!! Big and copious portions, you really get your money's worth!Parking: Few spaces out front so definitely come early or park further away from the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Little play area in the waiting room right before you go into the restaurant with toys and chalk to draw on the floor.Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk with a tight entrance into the restaurant, it's easier if you have help

This was a morning breakfast stop. Service was great, and the food was good.The best thing about this place is it was open and very friendly service.If I had to bet, it is family owned.When leaving your water front stay overs, it will be hard to find a place to eat early in the morning.It's a "Dimond in the Rough" in this area.

The food was great. Just short of exceptional but it's not supposed to be a 5-star experience. For a Cafe it was awesome and my asparagus-bacon omelet was both good and unique enough I won't soon forget it.

Lighthouse Cafe stands out to us for having very good and consistent service and consistently great food at a good price. We drive from Traverse City and have been many times on a Saturday or Sunday - usually in early afternoon.

Got a delicious omelette here during me and my girlfriends five year anniversary trip during the weekend of Feb 17, 2023. Would absolutely recommend, and will be back in the future! Reasonably priced and good service.

Wonderful Place to have a Awesome Breakfast.If I was able, I would love to Buy the Place.Great Service and Great Food.Well we are back at the Lighthouse and we figured because this Great Little Cafe might have taken a left turn because the Ownership changed hands.But I am EXTREMELY Happy to say that it is still a AWESOME PLACE to enjoy a Quality Meal and the Staff is STILL SECOND TO NONE!Highly recommend this Sweet Wonderful Place to enjoy Friends and Family and a Great Meal as well.

Was near the town for a wedding and wanted a great easy lunch. The hot was super fresh and hot! The burger was fresh, cooked just right, and the fries were great!! The staff was the best part, super friendly, helpful, and seemed to care! They really went out of their way to make our meal amazing!! If you happen to need a place to eat, that's quick, amazing, and treats you right, then go to the lighthouse cafe.

My daughter Dana took us out for breakfast and we had so much fun. The waitress was just super sweet and is the regular one for my daughter's when they do weekly breakfast there. This Saturday we were there with two of my sons and as we were finishing up our breakfast the waitress came back and told us the man in his daughter sitting beside us had picked up our check. It was a great start to a fantastic day

We have been here a couple of times for breakfast. The food is good -- typical diner style -- and the service is prompt both from the servers and the kitchen. The restaurant is clean which I appreciate. Don't be surprised if there is a wait if you aren't there right when they open.

This place is wonderful! They do really simple breakfast food absolutely perfect. The chicken fried steak combo is my go-to order. Do not miss out on their pancakes. The sweet cream that they use elevates them above almost every other pancake that I have ever had. The prices here are great as well.

Clean, cozy, and delicious! Wait staff was *very* friendly, the coffee was excellent, the food was exceptional. We got the early bird specials, and particularly loved the pancakes. They know how to do the simple things very well. A great breakfast nook that I strongly recommend.
