The staff was so friendly, the atmosphere was decorated with a feeling of home & was clean. The ham & swiss sandwich with the potato salad was very delicious. We were impressed. We normally go by on Saturday but not open that day. I would post a picture but I ate it so fast I never had a chance. Great to stop in for a quick lunch too.

My husband & I ate late lunch there for first time. The staff was so friendly, the atmosphere was decorated with a feeling of home & was clean. The ham & swiss sandwich with the potato salad was very delicious. We were impressed. We normally go by on Saturday but not open that day. This was a Friday & the timing worked out perfect. We also had a mocha mint iced latte & anniversary cupcakes. This food & drink was super too. You deserve a gold star folks!!!

Delicious, affordable, friendly, and safe. Great menu. The staff remembers their customers and makes a point to get to know you. One time, I complimented them on their homemade slaw and they sent me home with a bowl of it!

Nice place to sit and enjoy coffee and a bite to eat. They are very clean here and the staff are very friendly. I would ignore that one bad review that person left..I believe just another person holding a grudge for not getting his way. I saw nothing but a nice clean place.This is a great place to meet up for coffee after doing errands and enjoying the holidays activities downtown . Its a quaint place.

This is a great place to eat and also to help out the homeless in downtown. It is near the court house so a perfect place to eat while on jury duty.

What could be better? You are not only supporting a local business, you are helping change lives as you support the Rockford Rescue Mission. The Restoration Café is very attractively decorated, with items for purchase, and a great tasting menu. Stop in for coffee or lunch and be sure to tell your friends. In fact, bring them with you!

Really serious about this. Cockroaches everywhere . Food was disgusting my bread had mold and was hard. My wife got salimanilla poisoning. I got it also. My kids are still recovering. And this was two weeks ago. Very unfriendly people. Really racasist. And when I complained. All they said . Eat some where else. So Im going to.

Review №47

Its a clean quiet little shop. It cant really be called a restaurant because it has a limited selection mostly just little sandwiches with very small portions, and you cant really call it much of a coffee shop because it only has two kinds of coffee on the menu. It is run by graduates from the missions faith based recovery program. Really was disappointed with the old white lady who took my order then interrupted my girlfriend, told her to be quiet and told me I was taking too long and asking too many questions. Anyways would not recommend anything from this place except the smoothies and free Wi-Fi, while you sit in their somewhat comfortable lounge. Just make sure if youre gonna go all out and order food here for two people bring at LEAST 25$ . No Im not exaggerating.

They burned my food and they walk around out side with their aprons on! They use donated food too, I saw them bring some twice from the Mission. Now that they are getting people with a lot of money shopping there they make the homeless feel so unwelcome. I WILL NOT NEVER GO AGAIN!
