Reviews Lakewood Cafe

Lakewood Cafe is in a strip mall. It serves breakfast and lunch. It is kid-friendly and very clean. On my first visit here, I ordered a chicken salad croissant. The food was delicious. The employees were friendly and the service prompt. The server brought me a Dr Pepper refill long before my first one was gone. I'll definitely be coming back!

Update Jan 13, 2022 Lunch & Dinner is back at Lakewood Cafe in Rowlett, TX! I came here for breakfast, but ended up with a fantastic Mediterranean Salad! Whoever procures the produce here always gets the best quality I have seen, anywhere! Everything was perfect. Maybe offer some yellow peppers on the side. I love pepperroncini, but they are difficult to get fresh. People don't like them since they never had a good fresh pepperoncini. But, you can fake it with little yellow peppers. I digress... waitstaff is excellent here. Of course, serving great food to hungry people is a winner. They have a good time doing it. This is how all restaurants should be run. The other factor is the kitchen. These guys know how to cook, and make every order with care. This is a nice, clean facility, just wish it was bigger. On the weekends, it is packed with locals, and families. The mall owner should add a front porch addition here. Parking lot is big enough. ====================== Update Dec 14, 2021 Another great meal at this humble little cafe in Rowlett, Texas. Always clean, staff is pleasant and confident, they actually like their work, which is serving quality food. What could ever go wrong? Good meals = good tips. Quality of food & service = success! Clean & shiny silverware is usually a sign of a proud business. Today: Eggs Benedict Florentine, this was very good, on level with the big hotel restaurants. Generous serving, light flavor of fresh spinach, plenty of sauce. Option of Grits or Hash Browns. ( a side of Canadian Bacon would be perfect! ). I also ordered Blueberry pancakes, 3 stack, berries inside, and on top. Again, the quality of the fruit here is beyond most other restaurants. Tip: Weekends are packed crazy here, they need to expand this floorplan. Until then, get here at opening, or try a weekday. Lunch is great here too, a menu with big variety of entreés. ===================== Update May 26, 2021 Finally back at Lakewood Café, still a popular place. Mask suggested, a lot of Senior Citizens eat here, let's protect them! I sat at a booth, a new waitress was learning the routine here, pleasant & patient. Me too, but hungry! 1. Wild Mushroom & Swiss Cheese 3 egg omelette, with hash browns ( there are 4 side options ) was loaded with mushrooms. A little bit dry, maybe a little cream of mushroom soup would help? 2. Very Berry Crepe ( 1, 2, or 3 crepes option ) I chose just 1. Well, I know these guys can cook, but this was a skinny pancake. Very nice presentation. Maybe try buckwheat crepes? Still a great breakfast, brunch & lunch sit-down eatery. Clean, mellow ambiance. ======================== A classic American Breakfast & Brunch eatery serving comfort food & healthy options too! Open 7 days each week, 6AM to 3PM in a quiet unassuming business center along HWY 66 in Rowlett, TX. Nice relaxing earthtone colors, seating for 100 at tables & booths for 4. Menu has Big variety of food! Gourmet salads, fresh fruit, Lo-Cal wraps too. I started with Baked Potato soup, it was awesome. The Cuban sandwich...was a Texas variation. Cuba, TX is a ghost town now.... down by Nueces River, not source of this classic "Hamwich". Cuban exiles brought it to Miami. The Cuban sandwich is made with ham, fatty roasted pork, Swiss cheese,  pickles, mustard, on Cuban bread ( like french baguette ) add some pepperroncini peppers too! This Rowlett version was grilled chicken breast, ham, swiss, chipotle mayo, pickles, on ciabatta. Lean & mean, quality ingredients........ ....it just lacked the fat & caramelization of pork bouncing off pickles & yellow mustard on soft baguette bread. A true Havana/Miami cuban sandwich makes you Drool before, during and after! Nuff said! Staff was pleasant & helpful, the manager said he was from Tombstone, AZ ( will we see Ropa Vieja on the menu? ) Overall, a nice place to Sit Down & enjoy a hearty breakfast or lunch!

Absolutely amazing! Arrived at a busy time was told 15-20 minute wait, reasonable considering time of day, but were seated in about 5 minutes!! Food was delicious, our waitress was very sweet and attentive, food was fast to arrive and perfect temperature. Very pleasant experience. We will definitely be back frequently, found another “go-to” breakfast place!
