This is an older building that has been updated; nothing fancy but very comfortable. But the food and coffee were great. Lots of nice options, especially for breakfast and brunch/lunch. Plenty of veggie options and the chefs will accommodate requests to convert a meat dish to vegetarian. Service was excellent. One seating area of the cafe requires walking stairs. Meter street parking. We'll be back for sure.
5 stars +! Enjoyed every part of our breakfast experience here! You should too! Unassuming storefront with unique menu- friendly service and quality food and ingredients! We will be regulars!
James and his crew always make such excellent food! Such a great environment and delicious seasonal menus. I cannot recommend the Karlton enough!

Karltons is always a great experience. The food is outstanding. Fresh and delicious 😋 The service is top notch, they make you feel like family.
The food was fresh & delicious. I had the shrimp scrambled, oj, and a cup of coffee. You receive a good portion of eggs for $12. They were not skimpy with the shrimp either. The eggs are scrambled with cheese, fried onions, diced potatoes and shrimp, served with a toasted baguette. The OJ is freshly squeezed. The menu states the lemonade is as well (I did not try that). The place is family friendly decorated with farmhouse decor and has downstairs & outdoor seating. The tables are a bit cramped outside though. There isn't a lot of front patio space. The staff was friendly, however, I did feel a bit rushed.
We loved everything about our first visit here. Had it been cooler, we would have LOVED outdoor dining. But inside was super cute too! The menu was impressive. We picked this place because I wanted something along the lines of avocado toast, and I found a few options! Not only were my Guac and bacon eggs Benedict tasty, my husband’s omelet looked so good! (And we will HAVE to go back for lunch sometime.)
I was surprised to hear that their jellies are homemade (strawberry and blueberry). And they were good enough to sell, in my opinion.
I splurged and got a latte too which was also perfect.
The prices were good for what we ordered. You can find cheaper breakfast places, but the ingredients will match the prices. (Like, the bacon I got here was thick and meaty…)
The service was also good, and the waitress was so nice even though it was clearly busy today.
I also love this location! It’s super walkable with all the little shops and Sine’s 5&10 down the block. Easy parking too (which I was worried about). There’s some metered street parking as well as the lot in the center.
Went for breakfast thinking the menu looked great. The food surpassed my expectations. The service was nice, quick, and friendly. Farm fresh, made to order, and very tasty.

I have visited Karlton Cafe many times in the past few years and have never walked away disappointed. Locally sourced ingredients are thoughtfully combined into consistently well-balanced, properly-portioned dishes. Even the humble omelet is exalted with a baptism of European butter. The eggs Benedict variations are exquisite. Great place for breakfasts, brunches, and lunches. The sandwiches are crafted with attention to detail, and there are menu options that please most palettes.
Such a warm and inviting atmosphere. You would not know it from the street but it’s much bigger inside! I enjoy the rotating seasonal menus in addition to the regular menu.
