Cafe Gouda - Hickory

I ordered a chai tea latte and it was amazing not to sweet it was perfect and very aesthetically appealing the lady who gave it to me was super nice too!

The Philly sandwich was absolutely the best I've ever tasted. The ambiance is quaint and informal. Good service.

I have always gone to Cafe Gouda for breakfast or called in my breakfast order to go. My order has always been ready when I arrive and they are also consistently accurate! I like to order the Breakfast Rapp which keeps me full past lunch. Yesterday, I placed a to go order for lunch and it did not disappoint! The Gouda Delight Sandwich was huge and the flavor combination was spot on. I had to wait a bit since a placed my order at the counter but they were also busy. This is a restaurant where you order at the counter and the food is brought to you. You have access to your own refills so do not expect any table service! The food is amazing for both breakfast and lunch, I would recommend either!

Cafe Gouda is a nice casual dinning drop in. The staff was friendly and gave good menu suggestions. The food was decent for what we ordered. I enjoyed my salad (which is honestly why it got the extra star) it was seasoned just right and I used ranch dressing, it would've tasted better if I added a little siracha (which they had) to the ranch to elevate it just a little bit. The club sandwich was a club sandwich, I wish it had some kind of honey mustard or aioli to elevate it as well. The mayonnaise just kind of fell flat. Overall, we ate and were nourished from our long drive.

Stopped here driving through town, and really liked it. The restaurant is cute and decorated with local colorful primitive artwork. We ordered at the counter, got a number, and the servers delivered the meals. We didn't wait long. Booths and tables are available. At the counter are fruit cups, salads, help-yourself flavored coffees, cookies and more. Food was the basic breakfast and ours was tasty. Breakfast sandwiches looked good. The yogurt/granola/fruit bowl did need more yogurt. The eggs over medium were perfect. On a Friday morning during hurricane Ian lots of families were dining. Lunch and dinner are also served. Carry out.
