We had the best breakfast this morning and fast despite the place being completely full with a line at the door.

I love this place! One of the reasons I love coming to Galena from Tulsa to visit my sister is stopping here for breakfast, lunch, and dessert! Everything I've had is great! I'll be visiting next week. Save me some chicken and noodles on Thursday. I can't wait! Yum!

Nice people. The food is okay. Sausage is too spicy.

The cookies are bigger than my hand! The wait staff were super sweet! The food was great! 10 out 10 will go back! Plus they sell pie fillings and other things! Super cute place!

Choice place to eat breakfast. The quality, amount they provide, and price is amazing. Service was excellent. Got the breakfast special and it came with two eggs, 2 sausage patties, hash browns, and two biscuits with gravy. Place was decorated nicely and was clean. Loved everything about this place.

We stopped in for breakfast and were very glad we did. My wife ordered the Biscuits and Gravy and was amazed at the amount of food for the price. The fluffy and buttery biscuits were covered by a creamy, white, and flavorful sausage gravy. I ordered the Country Fried Steak Skillet. The steak had a coating that was still crunchy when covered by the sausage gravy. The shredded hash browns were cooked to perfection, as were the sunny side eggs that were runny and creamy. The pancake was fluffy and delicious when coated in the warm syrup. On our way out, we bought a dozen chocolate chip cookies and a cinnamon roll. The cookies were soft and crispy with the right amount of chocolate chips. The cinnamon roll was sweet and delicious. It had the perfect amount of cinnamon and icing. All in all, the breakfast and snacks were delicious. A must stop when in the Galena, KS area. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.

An absolutely gorgeous small town family restaurant. Very clean, roomy, beautifully decorated, friendly, and welcoming environment. The food was absolutely amazing. My wife and I rate everything we do or experience on a scale of 1 to 10. She rated 9 and I gave it a 9.5. Definitely check it out.

Cozy Cafe with a great menu, super-nice people, amazing prices, and great food! Great place for lunch or a breakfast feast! Always happy with everything!

I was looking for somewhere new to me to eat breakfast. The Sweet Creek Diner & Bakery caught my attention. So for under $9 you can choose the way you want your eggs cooked. Choice of meat, choice of bread (which includes biscuits and gravy) and choice of potatoes. My order came out quickly despite almost all the tables being filled. My order was correct and everything tasted good. It’s definitely a hot spot with the locals as well as visitors. There are plenty of decorations inside and outside to keep you busy during your visit. Breakfast is available until 2pm and lunch is served as well.

Excellent place to eat. The food, the service, and the place itself were wonderful. Super friendly waitress. It's definitely a great place to have breakfast. Serving portions were large, even for a big girl like me. Trust me, you'll love it.
