Customer Reviews
“ Everything is very clean! The workers are very nice and pay attention to your order. Even though I normally don't like fries, these are delicious! Definitely will come here again, and recomend! ”
“ This is my favorite breakfast spot in town. Its like a greasy spoon minus the greasy. Absolutely strait forward food that tastes exactly how you would think it should. I have been impressed each time I have been here and they deserve these 5 stars! It is clean. It looks clean, smells clean and feels clean. The staff are all smiles and they are attentive to your meal and their service. High five team. It appears as they work together, possibly a lost art at most restaurants. Perfectly cooked food!!! Every time. ”
“ We had a great breakfast here & very much enjoyed our visit. The service was prompt & polite and the food was quite good. It has been some time since I was at a new restaurant and was not shocked by the high prices. Helen's is very fairly priced and the portions are quite significant and well prepared. We'll definitely be back! ”
“ Helen’s Café is one of those hidden gems in Valpo that instantly makes you feel at home. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine warmth, and the cozy, welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a great meal. ”
“ My husband and I ate here for the first time this morning. The food was cooked very well and the flavor was phenomenal!! The portion sizes were huge, I won't eat until dinner. Most places do not cook hashbrowns crispy when you ask. The cook here was spot on!! Our server was extremely friendly and did a wonderful job! Thank you! Update 6 months later....we just keep coming back because the food is always great and the staff is wonderful. If you haven't been, GO! You will not regret it! ”
“ Great little hidden gem in north Valparaiso!! I had a great breakfast and will return! ”
“ This place is SUCH a hidden gem. It might be easy to miss from view but MAKE SURE YOU DONT! The food was SO GOOD, we ordered the All-Star Skillet and the Oreo Waffle and both were incredible! The food came out quickly and the service we got was very kind. The waffle was airy and light so it wasnt heavy or hard on the stomach, and the whipped cream was tasty. The skillet was exactly what I needed for a hardy savoury breakfast food. It was perfectly buttery and was also not bad on the stomach! Definitely come give this place a visit!! ”
