The Cafe by LeeEllen

We just found this jewel Cafe by Leeellen restaurant on 307 Grove St in Loudon. Home cook meals to perfection. Leeellen (the Chef/Owner) takes pride in making each delicious meal from scratch to satisfy the customers. I only wished I would of found this restaurant sooner. I will definitely go back. I'm looking forward to try her home made lasagna, it looks absolutely delicious. My Tomato Bisque soup was out of this world, so was my Belle's Spinach Salad. My husband was really taken by their Breakfast bowl, the home made gravy was divine, so was their Coconut Maccaroon with Chocolate dessert. 😋 Needlessly to say we were really impressed by their friendly service and their food presentation, not to mention their dedication to please the customer with flavorish wonderful food. This restaurant will definitely be on top of my list of restaurants cafe to go to from now own. I will definitely be back. 😍

great specials changes everyday. Big fan of the Nantucket (chicken salad) wrap. Most of the food is made from scratch LeeEllen knows what she's doing in the kitchen

Lee Ellen does an amazing job! Her food is delicious and homemade. The Nantucket and her quiches are among my favorites, oh and her daily soup specials! Terrific atmosphere, cafe style with that southern hospitality. If you haven't tried the Cafe, you are missing out! She also caters. Downtown Loudon, go check out the Cafe.

LeeEllen is a phenomenal cook! It's always been great food every time I've been, and good prices! If you haven't checked her out, you should do so!

Try the Mediterranean Wrap and the Pasta Salad. Nice variety and friendly service.

We stopped in for breakfast on a trip through small towns. The Cafe is very quaintly decorated. The staff andowner were super nice, and the omelets were so good!
Will definitely come again if in this area.

They are always nice and the food is so good. If I go for breakfast, I will try to get the special to go to eat later for lunch.

We had the most delicious, not to mention the most generous portions of French Toast ever! Oh and the coffee was spot on ... a big plus in our book! We will definitely be returning! Thank you to LeeEllen and her staff!

Such a cool place. Love the mismatch tables, chairs and silver ware. The food is excellent and the people are so sweet. Absolutely loved our breakfast!

Great local Cafe to eat at here in Loudon TN .
Everything was exceptional .👌

We come in here as our weekly “date” after Church. The cafe is part of a multi-use gaming area and inside the building has a game shop (Magic the Gathering, Dungeon & Dragons, etc.) and drink shop (teas, malts, slushees) as well.

Lovely people and food was great!

Got a couple of sandwiches and sides. Service was quick, even during lunch hour,. The meals were tasty and not too expensive. I'll head back for future lunch runs or light dinner.

It's a great place to eat, with an upscale, small town atmosphere! The food came out quick, and it was a great breakfast!!

We were in Loudon on Sunday for an estate sale and wanted to stop someplace for breakfast/lunch. Pulled up Cafe by LeeEllen on Google and it had solid reviews so we stopped. Boy am I glad we did! They have breakfast and lunch items and a nice size menu to meet any need. We had a hard time deciding but ended up both getting the Mediterranean quiche. I got a side of their Italian wedding soup and my partner got a side of the pasta salad. We also got a biscuit to share.

Nothing disappointed! Quiche was amazing and so flavorful. My soup was excellent. The biscuit was homemade and as good as grandma would make, if you have a southern grandma who has perfected the art of a fluffy flavorful biscuit.

Service was was friendly and we had everyone making sure glasses were filled and that we enjoyed our meal.

We will definitely make this place our go to when in Loudon or close by!

Unbelievably tasty. Lots of homemade flavors.. You literally taste the love that LeeEllen had for what she does. She took the time to chat with us, and her precious waitress made us feel right at home. A hidden gem for sure. We will be back!

The food and service here is great! I eat here every time I am in time, about once a week. LeeEllen, the owner, is there everyday working her tail off in the kitchen. Her staff is sweet as sugar. They all care deeply about their restaurant. Highly recommend!

LeeEllen has a gift for bringing you a meal that not only fills your stomach but warms your heart. She's a master with her recipes and gives you a meal served with a smile. I believe her chili is some of the best I've ever eaten, and that strawberry cobbler is something I crave almost daily. Her regular fare is great, too. I'm a fan of her chicken salad, particularly.

Had breakfast and at another time, lunch. Fantastic service and the food is nearly unbelievably good. The biscuits and gravy with housemate biscuits smothered in sausage gravy are as good as I’ve had. Lunch with vegetable soup and their Cranky Yankee panini are mouth watering and delicious.

My bride and I had lunch today at The Cafe by LeeEllen and it was marvelous. This was our first visit and could not have a better experience. My wife had the Nantucket Wrap with macaroni salad, and I had the Egg Salad Croissant Sandwich, fruit salad and a cup of the Sausage & Tortellini Soup. Both came with a side of chips. Even though everything was tasty, the Sausage &Tortellini Soup was the best I have ever had. I would go back every day just for the soup. The seasoning was perfect and like LeeEllen said, when you partake of the soup you can close your eyes and visualize being somewhere on the Mediterranean. How true! Like all full service restaurants, even the large ones, there is a need for additional staff. However, do not let a little wait keep you from enjoying such a welcoming experience. The ambiance and quaint environment only add to a genuine, warm experience.
