Nini’s Lake Alfred Cafe

LOVE Nini’s! The service is personal and friendly. They know you by name if you’ve visited a few times. My favorite sandwich is the chicken salad, but they are ALL exceptional, and PILED HIGH! Whenever we have visitors from out of town, Nini’s is on our «to-​do» list.

As I clicked on the five stars, Unilocal pops up with «Whoohoo! As good as it gets!» That just about says it all. Lovely couple and several of their sons keep it homey while putting out some of the best meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinners on Sunday, that I’ve ever had. Not to mention the special dinners on occasion! Tuesdays and Saturdays include cooked to order burgers on the grill, some of the best I’ve ever had! We are very blessed to live close by! :-)

Great breakfast! Pancakes are perfect, biscuits and gravy are delicious, even their toast is great.

Found this little home town Café thanks to Unilocal and glad we did. Was going up I-​4 and just searched for eateries near by. Very friendly. Had planned to try the chicken salad based on reviews but we sat out on the cute patio and the smell of grilled burgers grabbed us. Burgers were good and cooked to order. Husband liked the sweet potato fries too. Cute décor

Stopped in today for something to go… took a little bit for the folks to warm up .but when they did, it was a nice experience .Had the Chicken Salad croissant and it was some of the best chicken salad I have ever had !!! And. those home made chips are the BEST ! Take the trip. go there ! WORTH IT !

Was recommended this place and I am glad we came. Have been back twice so far. Breakfast was incredible. Lunch was just as good. They let you sample some of what they offer. Everyone super nice. Priced right. Will be trying their dinners.

Saw great comments about this place so we went out our way to find it. It was worth the extra miles. Great food, great service, excellent atmosphere. Obviously is the home town favorite for all the locals.

We are so pleased to have found Ninis. Great coffee, great food and service!! wish we lived closer.

This place is in the middle of nowhere but it is half way between my friend and I so we met for an early lunch. Really small place, but clean and has cute décor. I ordered breakfast which was delicious. 2 eggs over easy, sausage, grits, and toast for $ 5. Such a great price and it was delicious. It was not quite lunchtime yet, but the waitress let my friend order their gourmet grilled cheese which has 2 different cheeses on Texas toast. I am not sure what she thought of it, but it didn’t look like anything special when it came to the table. This place makes their own potato chips, but they were not quite ready so they let her substitute for potato salad. All in all a great place that I would try again.

This is a great café, perfect old school Mom & Pop operation.
Food is great, prices are great, service is better!
Menu is limited, but what is on there is outstanding!
What more could you ask for?

This place was great for our group. We had 10 people and sat outside in the back between the restaurant and a small store. The store according to the people in the group had everything!
I had the Hawaiian salad which had pineapple, mandarin oranges, lettuce, chicken salad and I had the vand. onion dressing. It was great!!! The chicken salad is awesome!

I have only eaten breakfast here, but it is good. My wife says the eggs Benedict is good. I am always searching for that great corned beef hash, this was not it. Fellow Unilocalers, this is a good, solid spot for breakfast, quaint, you can sit out in the courtyard. It won’t disappoint you, the problem it is in A dump of a town

A really great, local, kinda hole-​in-​the wall place. Locals love it.

This tiny café’ is located on Lake Alfred’s two-​block antique row. We stopped here while antiquing in central Florida, and we think it’s worth a trip on its own merits. The interior is cool and comfortable on a warm day, with vintage décor (including some really cute shadowbox tables spotlighting various small antiques); the small dining area opens into a larger shaded patio that’s also home to the café’s grill. And indeed the food is scratch-​made and very good. On our recent visit we had the day’s special, a simple lunch plate of a hamburger and chips — but the hamburger was fresh-​grilled to order out back, and the potato chips were made from scratch. The thick burger had just a hint of seasoning, and my «everything» version included an absolutely ripe fresh tomato slice — heaven for a Northerner this time of year. The homemade chips were paper thin, crisp and so good that we ordered a second helping. If we’d have had room for dessert I noticed a toothsome three-​layer coconut cake and orange cake sitting on the counter, either of which would have been a good choice. The staff was the epitome of southern hospitality. We totally enjoyed our lunch here.
