The Chef Cafe

The Chef Cafe is a breakfast spot in downtown Manhattan, Kansas, known for its famous horseshoe counter and a menu that includes frittatas, PB&J pancakes and The Chef Sunrise. The coffee is "The Chef Blend," roasted and blended locally at Radina's in Aggieville, and the cafe also serves a range of cocktails.

Expect a wait on weekends, when the small café fills up quickly, so plan extra time if you come in then. The cafe has been around since 1943 under its original name, and a group of friends reopened it as The Chef Café in 2008. Gift cards are available online, and orders can be placed through the website.
