Our Favorites
Monkey French Toast
From the very first bite, it’s clear this isn’t your average French toast—it’s a decadent, textural masterpiece that somehow feels both indulgent and nourishing. Imagine warm, gooey French toast: crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside. The slather of warm, melty Nutella adds a rich, chocolate-hazelnut creaminess that melts into the toast and bananas like a dream. Fresh banana slices bring a natural sweetness and balance that cut through the richness, and then comes the crunch—the granola. It adds a rustic, nutty bite that takes each forkful to the next level, adding not just flavor, but delightful texture.
Cinnamon Rolls
These are no ordinary cinnamon rolls. Baked fresh and served warm, they’re pillowy soft with a generous swirl of cinnamon-sugar and topped with a luscious glaze that’s just the right amount of sweet. You can taste the homemade quality in every bite—they’re clearly made with care. Honestly, I’d come back for these alone.
Biscuits and Gravy
For a savory balance, the biscuits and gravy delivered big time. The biscuits were perfectly flaky and buttery, and the sausage gravy was hearty, creamy, and loaded with flavor—just peppery enough to give it a kick without overwhelming. It’s Southern comfort food done right, and the portion was generous without being over-the-top.
Final Thoughts
Service is consistently top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in what they do and cares about your experience. The Riverside Café isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to enjoy life a little more slowly. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food, local flavor, and small-town charm.
