Cafe 1485 — Restaurant in Newnan

I drove an hour to Newnan, Ga, to meet with a friend who I had nor seen in 5 years who was visiting family who lived in Newnan. She was from out of state. We decided to meet for breakfast and found Cafe 1485 from a google search and decided to try it. We were not greeted when we walked in, and we waited a good while before the server finally acknowledged us and said she would be with us shortly. Not good, it appeared to be a bother to even wait on us. We ordered and the food came out in good time. We had finished eating and we’re still visiting and talking for a few. The bill was placed on the table and I asked for a refill on coffee and my friend asked for coffee. The server appeared to be annoyed that we wanted something else. The owner or manager came by to ask if we were finished and I stated we were visiting from out of town and really did not think anything of it. Most people sit and chat after a meal. But then she came over and said to us in front of the entire restaurant “ for real this time, you have to leave, I have other people waiting for tables….WOW! and I said in a joking manner, oh so you are telling us to leave? I did not see her treat anyone else who had been sitting longer at tables that way. WOW! I’m not ever one to talk about race but we were to African American women and yes, we lingered a little while after the meal and asked for another cup of coffee but it was not an unusual amount of time nor did I think it was out of the ordinary, in a restaurant, to linger for a few minutes after a meal. Literally it was about 10 to 15 minutes. We left respectfully but as I thought about this, I could not really just let this go unmentioned. And no, for the record I’m an not angry but appalled that we were treated that way being paying customers visiting Cafe 1485. Not a great experience!!! I will not visit this restaurant again and for this reason, I will not recommend it. I bet that it’s a small spot but I’m wondering if this is really how they treat ALL customers who linger after a meal??? Even so, the way in which things are said, makes a huge difference! Again, not...

We saw this place by happenstance, so I had to give it a try after reading the good reviews. I am happy to report, it lived up to expectations.

The food is fresh and delicious, and the owners pride themselves on locally sourcing as many ingredients as possible. You can really taste the effort, as the food was fantastic. Here are my 2 major takeaways:

The food. I enjoyed a cheeseburger with fries. The burger was perfectly cooked, properly seasoned, and on a delicious bun. A bun makes a burger, and whichever they use is proper. The fries were my favorite kind, and equally satisfying.

The service. The owners are a man and woman; husband and wife. They're extremely kind and made an effort to talk to me and tell me all about their menu and explained where their food came from. From my short conversation, I could quickly tell that they value their customers. They were super kind, and passionate about the food they serve.

I will be back to try their breakfast, and other menu items. After my meal today, I wouldn't hesitate to eat anything on the menu. Cafe 1485 is a fine example for what a true mom and pop Cafe should be. I encourage anyone reading this review to give them a try if you enjoy locally sourced food that's...

I stumbled across this gem after getting bloodwork, starved and in need of food and coffee I was on the hunt for something that could provide both. It’s in an unassuming location in a strip mall, these can be hit or miss at times but hot damn it was a huge HIT. Very mom and pop, family vibe, mom is beebopping around mom name tag and all, daughter is full of life, personality and I am sure a lot of love. You could feel it in the air as soon as you walked in like walking into your family kitchen it was so lovely. And I had not even eaten yet. Also added bonus old school Bob Barker Price is Right is playing on the TV. I ordered a cup of coffee and a vegetable omelet added ham subbed fries with grits. We are talking 10/10, so delicious. The grits are thick, lots of flavor, and exactly what anyone who wants legit grits is looking for. Taste before you salt by the way, they are good on their own. The omelet is huge, stacked to the nines with grilled veggies and hearty ham. I haven’t even left the restaurant yet and I am already planning on my return. My only disappointment is this they have been open for a year and I m just now...
