Our server Jake was incredible . We felt we had a relatively complicated order . Everything came out perfect, delicious , and exactly how we ordered . Prices were more than fair . Zero complaints, was very welcoming even as out-of-towners .

The restaurant was cute and the food was good, but then waitress was absolutely not. I know she was young, but she needs taught a little better. Anything we asked for we were given the smallest amount of. I've never seen someone be so stingy with napkins, sugar or milk. Food was priced well for the small portion, but coffee was terrible. Extremely weak and unflavorful. Needs work...

Bryan and Ashley are the REAL MVPS/ management of this joint! You don’t have good food without an awesome chef and Executive Assistant … they deserve all the credit :) Pay Bryan a visit next time you go to Brookies and remember that chefs accept gratuity! Bryan is awesome!! Tip Bryan !! Tip Bryan!!! I know I do! He deserves all the praise! … and if Ashley is serving …. I don’t need to tell you twice to tip you just will know from her service

Friendly staff and small town charm in this cafe. Breakfast was great and will be back to check out some more of the menu. Make some time if you are in the area to stop in to Brookies Cafe. Great stop for folks staying up in Sister Lakes area in a vacation.

5 stars! A must-visit for breakfast lovers! I had an incredible breakfast at Brookie’s and can’t recommend it enough. The Rustic Omelette was hearty and satisfying—fluffy eggs packed with savory sausage, melted cheese, and fresh vegetables. Comfort food at its best! But the highlight for me was the Cactus Skillet—despite the name, it features bold jalapeños that gave the dish just the right amount of kick. Combined with crispy potatoes, spicy chorizo, and perfectly cooked eggs, it was bursting with flavor and totally unforgettable. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu!
