The Palms Cafe — Restaurant in Central Point

Typical cafe food, strongly geared towards breakfast. I've eaten here a few times now and the food is decent, again simply typical breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I will say the prices are very reasonable with the average breakfast being around $10-$12. Good has been consistent and came to the table hot and presented as it should. Staff is friendly and accommodating HOWEVER I do have one complaint. During my meal the dining area is very quiet with not much ambiance and the music is a mix of rock, heavy metal and even rap?? So I find that odd. The biggest complaint I have is the wait staff standing in the small dining area talking very loudly about all their personal problems, gossip and back and forth banter to the point it is ear splitting. Today I watched an elderly couple get up and leave after hearing the staffs gossip. No filters, no concern over what their conversation is doing to customers. Even the cook came out and got into the mix. To me it's just unprofessional and annoying. It's not been every time but definitely bad today. One waitress seems to either had way to many energy drinks or coffee...or??? ,You get my point. She was running all over while spewing her drama. Speaking from the dining room all the way to the back of the house. Anyway I'm mixed on my opinion of this place. If management put a check on gossip, drama, and loud personal stuff it would be much better. I prefer cafes where one can sit and drink coffee, eat breakfast and go online, work, etc without serious noise or loud staff. I hope...

Central Point's best kept secret. Not very many breakfast restaurants in the area and this hole-in-the-wall is easily a blink away from driving by and missing.

However, it is visited by the loyal gang of hungry peasants which I am happy to be included into the bunch.

The food is tasty and comforting. They have a fairly new waitress named Taylor who is sassy and sweet. She is always on top of her serving game and is good at not letting your cup go dry.

The cooks do a fantastic job so my hat goes off to them as well. Heck...the whole waitress staff is amazing.

Visit the place. Wait...do NOT go there please! That way I will always have an easy seat...

From the outside a pretty nondescript building. Inside a nicely designed cozy cafe. The tables are spaced to allow for social distancing, the chairs are metal but still very comfortable. I was surprised, I have never been to a restaurant that had three different flavors or Tabasco in the condiments basket. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, made you feel like a local. The food came out quick. It was all cooked to order. I would have liked my hashbrowns a bit more crispy though and my straw broke but that's just a manufacturing issue. The cost for three people was very reasonable and I ordered alot. ...
