I highly recommend the best cafe. They were very helpful with my red meat allergy and have lots of alpha gal friendly food including duck bacon!! The waitress was so sweet and attentive even with them being busy we did not need for anything without her right there before we even knew we needed it. The only reason for a 4 on food is because, as delicious as the crème brûlée French toast was, there were a few parts that were just bread with no flavor. The chicken Benny was amazing. Their speciality drinks were so good including the flight of mimosas. They are able to mix different options for the flight as we got apple pineapple mixed.

This cafe, located within a 30 second walk from our stay at Best Court, was amazing! We went twice during our stay and had a wonderful experience both times. We got to be the first people EVER to use their new private room with a tv, multiple chairs and tables, and pictures of Madonna! We were lucky enough to have Cole as our server both times and he was friendly, efficient, and always got what we needed. The food was delicious too! Definitely recommend this place if you're here on vacation!

WOW. We went for brunch, little birthday thing for a friend. They were so helpful! They had our table set up before we arrived, kept our cake in the back until we were ready, and were just so patient and kind the entire time. The food was a little pricey, but honestly I forgot about the price when I tried it. The pork belly might've been the single greatest thing I've ever tasted in my life. It had some potatoes mixed in and 2 perfectly poached eggs on top. The other food looked, and smelled, amazing. But honestly I'm not sure I'll ever be able to order anything else. To be continued. All in all this was a wonderful little breakfast spot and I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

Quaint little breakfast/brunch place with really good coffee and food! The Crème Brûlée French toast is a super solid choice. Nice and flavorful and expertly cooked with caramelized crust and soft middle! The Pork Belly Skillet Hash is nice and succulent with unbeatable flavor and the poached eggs on top adds that Je ne sais quoi that is mind blowingly good! 5/5 stars, definitely recommend!

We came this past weekend, 5/30/26, for a joint bachelor/bachelorette trip. We had a party of 14 and our waitress was top tier! The food was incredible- especially the breakfast burrito, the prickly pear mimosa- SO GOOD. Literally the most fun and delicious experience ever! Will recommend for a brunch experience to literally everyone!

So, the photo is just of the wall because I found it interesting. It's a historical image of the facility. The Chef's Latte (I think that's what it was called but it was on the specialty drinks menu) started off my meal absolutely superbly! I had the Reuben sandwich which was actually the best Reuben I've ever had, and I've had a few. Very neat and clean place, outstanding food, great service! Higher end on pricing but well worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and will gladly return!

We stayed at the Best Court and went to the Best Cafe for breakfast and it was one of the best restaurant experiences we had in the area. The staff was so kind and prompt, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We sat outside next to the kitchen window and the chef actually handed us our food out of the window, which was a cute touch! Highly recommend:)

We sat in the patio. 10/10 experience. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the environment was very nice & well kept. We will absolutely be coming back & recommending this place to others! We ordered the Ruben sandwich, steak & eggs, and French toast. The mimosa was smooth & delicious. Everything was phenomenal!

Since I don't live in Hot Springs, I feel bound to write this review (sorry locals!). Come here for a classic American breakfast and THE best breakfast in Hot Springs. I cannot say enough good things about Best Cafe & Bar. We stayed at Best Court next door (also recommend) and decided each morning to eat here. I love exploring food options, so it says a lot that this spot was the only breakfast joint we ate at. We were completely won over by Emerald, who went above and beyond topping off our coffee and sharing local recommendations. The first morning I ordered the Crème Brûlée French Toast: pure 10/10. We went during an "off season" time so I imagine this place might get crowded especially on weekends and in the afternoon. The service was genuine and warm. This is the kind of independently owned breakfast spot that reminds you why breakfast experiences are worthy of excursions. We need more places like this.

This is probably the best breakfast/brunch place I’ve ever had in Hot Springs. I got the bagel which was phenomenal, and I also got a slice of their crème brûlé French toast. The bagel was so good, and was fresh. The French toast was so sweet, but so good as well. My family got the biscuits and gravy, and chocolate chip pancake. They were both really really good as well. Lastly, we got their mimosa flight. We mixed the strawberry and mango it was delicious!! Definitely will be going back!
