    Thie food quality and service has declined. There was a mistake with our order - the crostini order options were wrong and he took my friends plate to correct t it instead of just bringing the right one. She was in the midst of eating ! The bacon was over season and burnt not crisp. It’s been some time since I went and was looking forward to it. Dissapointed!

    This was our first time visiting Plum Café. It was my sister‘s birthday and our waiter was Chris. He was phenomenal very attentive. The coffee was excellent. It was super hot. Just the way we like it. We ask for recommendations on the food and it was spot on. It was delicious. We will definitely come back.

    Fantastic food & Service. Took my BFF for her birthday, both of our 1st visit. We shared the big cinnamon roll, Dutch baby & a 2 egg sausage & potato plate. Brought home enuf yo share with our families. Everything was so yummy we can’t wait to go back & take more friend & family. The service was wonderful & everyone was so very nice.

    We enjoyed the biscuits and gravy and the giant cinnamon roll. We wondered if Plums would live up to the hype and it did!! SOOOOO GOOD! Definitely planning to go back!

    This is BRUNCH ! The food was absolutely delicious and was freshly prepared. It was a very busy and loud environment but nothing unbearable. This is a great place to take cute brunch photos, if that’s what you’re looking for. The lattes were our favorites , each one came with a different topping that compliments the flavor of the latte. We do wish the seating was a little more comfortable but it was an overall great experience. Will be returning for the Plums Famous Dutch Baby!
