Karen’s Little Cafe: A Delightful Spot for Breakfast, Brunch, and More

Karyn’s Little Café is such a gem! I ordered the Casper chili cheese dog and my husband had the French toast — both were absolutely amazing. You can taste the love in every bite. The service was truly perfect, the kind that makes you feel like you’re sitting at the family table… only better. We left already talking about what we want to try next. Highly recommend this cozy spot!

We just went here for the first time and everyone was so friendly!! Food was great. Will definitely eat here again!

We were greeted with a super friendly staff and great service. I didn't even know this part of Lincoln and found this little gem and decided to get some lunch with my mom. She got a nice BLTA sandwich with order of fries and macaroni salad and she finished almost all of it. I opted for a cheeseburger and fries and was full with just the fries. The refills on drinks were on point and they were there for anything you needed and very attentive. Such a nice local place. Cash only right now so be prepared.

I was out in Lincoln recently visiting my brother. After a quick Google search, I suggested we visit this restaurant. Tyler Brooks, our server, was attentive, informative, courteous and delivered our food exactly as ordered. They have a great selection of breakfast choices, and I would highly recommend this restaurant for a very satisfying meal and experience! We ate out on the patio. Tyler did an especially great job of setting up a table for us, making sure it was spotless and had our hot coffee delivered immediately. Throughout the meal, he checked in with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and made sure we had everything we needed. My brother and I got to relax, catch up and take our time enjoying our great breakfast selections. Keep up the good work. I look forward to visiting during my next trip out from Colorado!

First time we tried Karen’s Little Cafe for breakfast, and we loved it! Our hash browns came out exactly as ordered (crispy), and the corned beef eggs Benedict was delicious. Service was great too!

Great café with a genuinely happy, welcoming vibe. The team was accommodating about my gluten restriction and modified the vegetarian burrito for me, and it turned out delicious. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and said it was excellent. Highly recommended.

Well let’s just say this places gives MUCH. Lunch ready for the road. Fast friendly service. Lots of locals so you know it’s consistently excellent. Owner super friendly. Thanks love Canadians

I wandered into Karen’s Little Cafe expecting a modest breakfast and left convinced Karen might be some kind of culinary sorceress. Let’s talk about the 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy—and by “1/2 order,” I assume Karen means “half the size of a carb-based asteroid.” Fluffy, buttery biscuits were smothered in creamy, peppery gravy that whispered sweet Southern nothings to my soul. I’m still dreaming about it. My cardiologist probably is too. Then came the corned beef hash with 4 eggs—yes, FOUR eggs, because I live dangerously. The hash was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and clearly made with real love, or possibly black magic. The eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them, which almost never happens. Either Karen has telepathic abilities, or she actually listens to orders. Revolutionary! The staff was friendly, the coffee was strong enough to raise the dead, and the whole place has that cozy, lived-in charm that says, “Yes, we will feed you until you question your life choices in the best way possible.” If you haven’t been to Karen’s Little Cafe, fix your life and go. But wear stretchy pants—you’ve been warned.
