Haven Cafe is not playing no games, the food is great. My son and I loved it, we had pancakes and French toast platters with eggs. My son had the strawberry fusion drink with fruit in it and he loved it. I had the Coco Mocha iced drink and it was way better than I imagined. The customer service was amazing, very warm and friendly atmosphere. I will be back I suggest you stop by too.

I had an amazing experience! The salad was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with crisp veggies and delicious dressing. The iced coffee was just as impressive—smooth, rich, and refreshing. Everything was top-notch, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!

The food was really really good ! The lady at the front was so nice and nothing like what some people in the reviews painted her to be. Me and my coworker stopped in on route, and our food was done within 10-15 minutes. Can’t wait to go back and try different menu items.

Haven’s Cafe never misses! The food, the service and the atmosphere is always up to par! My usual order is a Spanish omelette with seasoned home fries on the side and it was phenomenal. It tastes just like how I would make it at home. My drink order was the tropical peach and it tasted really refreshing!
