Crema's Take
“This Winston-Salem gem has cultivated a reputation for genuinely exceptional service that keeps regulars coming back—servers like Wendy and Scarlette are remembered by name and praised for going above and beyond. Beyond the warm hospitality, they're doing creative seasonal drinks like the Midtown Maple Latte and Toasted Marshmallow Latte that elevate their traditional coffee menu, paired with scratch-made pastries and breakfast that justify lingering on their inviting patio or cozy interior.”

We had such a wonderful experience at Midtown Cafe & Dessertery! From the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly! From the hostess to especially our server, Wendy! She truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed! We ordered the French Toast, Avocado Toast, the Special Burger with fries, and iced coffees. Everything was absolutely delicious! Not pictured was the BEST slice of cake — the 5 Layer Pound Cake! It’s a secret recipe that’s been around for 30 years, and you can definitely tell why… it was incredible! We absolutely loved our visit and will definitely be back to try more menu items. We also can’t wait to try more desserts! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
WOW — what an awesome experience at Midtown Dessertery! 🤩 Our waitress Scarlette, was phenomenal — so friendly, upbeat, and totally on top of everything. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She made us feel right at home and kept the good vibes going the whole time. The food and desserts were absolutely delicious 🍰✨ and her amazing service made it even better. Can’t wait to come back — she’s the best!! 🙌💖
My friend and I met here, for the first time, and snagged an outside table. The patio seating is lovely. She started with the Midtown Maple Latte and I had the Toasted Marshmallow Latte. Both were good but I was expecting the marshmallows to be toasted. They were actually tiny, dry marshmallows (think Swiss Miss) on top of whipped cream. The Spicy Grit Skillet was absolutely delicious and I love that they don’t stir everything together. The andouille sausage was in pieces not ground and they cooked it perfectly. This also comes with 2 over easy eggs, a small dollop of pimento cheese and green onions. The pimento cheese was very good but I held the green onions. They may have applied them and removed them before serving because I could smell them. It didn’t affect the taste and I was thrilled with the meal. My friend got the Western Omelet with a side of grits. She said everything was delicious. We split a small side order of pancakes, just to try them. If you like fluffy and soft pancakes, these are for you. Wendy was appropriately funny and attentive. We signed up to be VIPs so we will be back.
Wendy was a marvelous server. It was my birthday and she treated me so great. I appreciate Wendy’s way of being a server. I would love to come back and sit with her again. The food was also great and the mimosa flight is a must have.
I really love it here, food is always great! The service tonight was exceptional. Ryan H. was very welcoming and helpful. My girlfriend and I ordered the crab cakes and grits, 9 out of 10, and the big crispy chicken sandwich 9.5 out of 10. The first sandwich that came was really tough and stringy. I asked if that was normal and Ryan said "no, we've never had a problem" he took it back and remade it and it is in fact exceptional, one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Thanks to the cooks and staff for making this a great visit! Will be back! Highly recommended!!!
