Extremely nice hidden restaurant. two levels one street level one downstairs. Parking on the street and across street parking. very fair pricing, very friendly and fast service, 10/10 for food preparation, appearance and taste, handicap accessible at ground level (they're some stairs inside) the restaurant. nice size bathrooms, Everything clean and sanitized. I will be returning this place. Truly was definitely a Hidden Gem in the heart of Quakertown.

We went here for brunch a couple months ago and watched as everyone's delicious food was prepared and served. Then ours arrived. Matt's was fine but my huevos rancheros had sausage and bacon mixed into the beans. It doesn't list this on the menu, and the waiter swore it isn't supposed to have meat in it, so no one knows what happened. Our waiter was so gracious and tried to remedy the situation by bringing me a whole different meal and comping my entree. However, we noted that most of the savory food (eggs, potatoes) had been cooked in bacon grease. I'm not sure if this

Really great find on our way to visit family. Chose it based on helpful Yelp reviews. Great food and service, but to be fair, the Stuffed Potato Pancake is an omelet with hash browns on top. Still delicious no matter what you call it!

Good service and clean!

Everything was flavorful and each flavor complemented each other. Chicago Style Steak sandwich, the Karlton Burger, Bacon Panini, Creamy tomato and spinach soup and Creme Brulee Latte.

Steak sandwich was the bomb! It was so juicy and so much flavor.

Atmosphere: is beautiful and there is a down stairs that. The exterior is quaint so nice. Such a friendly staff! Definitely recommend

In Quakertown for a baseball tourney, found this spot as had a lot of down time between games. First off they accommodated a group of about 16, half of which were lunatics (9 yr old boys). Food was great, coffee was great (this stood out, especially for like cafe/free refill type coffee). Great experience.

An absolutely wonderful little treasure tucked away in downtown Quakertown. Our food was delicious and very hot, and the presentation was outstanding. Drink of choice was fresh brewed coffee and was awesome. They serve daily breakfast and lunch with dinners only weekends. Keep your eyes wide open as you drive thru Quakertown...blink and you will miss this wonderful little cafe. Can't wait to return again and spread the word about the Karlton Cafe

As always the Karlton Cafe was delicious. I had the pear and brie benedict, delicious! I also had the best tea ever! If you like hot tea, their honey camomile latte is a must. The staff are some of the friendliest people I've come across. A definite must go... Often.

We just had dinner at Karlton Cafe. A BYOB with a unique, artisan menu. Our server asked what color wine we brought so he could bring us the right glasses, which was thoughtful. The menu is small, but well crafted with something for everyone. If you like mushrooms, you are in for a treat. Industrial farmhouse decor makes it a fun and funky atmosphere. I understand breakfasts are the bomb, so we'll be back again to try the special.

We have not been here in a long time, but this place has not changed. They have the best food ever along with great staff. I thought things may be different because of COVID, but no great friendly service. The Canadian omelette was outstanding and still the best cream chipped beef ever.

Never disappoints. Freshly made, lovingly served. Their staff is amazing and their coffee selection can't be beat. Enjoyed the lavender camomile latte and it was heartwarmingly good. The restaurant was clean and appropriately spaced for comfort and safety. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. Try for a lovely brunch with friends or reconnecting with loved ones.

Food was amazing! I did think the prices were a bit high for breakfast that's my reason for doing 4stars. I will definitely be back!

Second time having the Cream Chipped Beef - it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I'm particular about SOS as most are runny and just not a good roux. James makes the best - better than mine.

Filling. 1st time, I couldn't stop but should have as I went home and had to take a nap I was that full. Today was the 2nd time, I learned and brought leftovers home for tomorrow.

Price. WELL worth it.

Can't wait until tomorrow.

A serious gem! My family and I had the best experience at Karlton Cafe. Everything was five star about this place. The next time I am in Quakertown, PA I will check dine with them. When I say that my family accompanied me to lunch here, I am speaking of my parents, husband, and two children. As you can imagine we were a nice size party. My first impression of this place was that it was clean and cool inside. The sun was out and it was hot outside, however, inside the temperature was just right. The guest inside of the restaurant were just as kind as the staff working there. It was as if to say

**DE-LISH!!!**
I accidentally on purpose, lol, stumbled upon this gem. Upon arrival, the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. The aesthetic was just right for this small town joint. I had the smoked salmon egg white omelet and the stuffed potato pancake..YUM!!! The portions were generous, and the made to order freshness and quality was superior. A definite MUST TRY!!!
