Our Story
The Café has been a cornerstone of Leavenworth, Kansas since October 2005. Founded in the historic Abernathy Building near the Centennial Bridge, the café began as a weekday breakfast and lunch spot — serving the community with daily specials, fresh sandwiches, soups, salads, and hearty home-style meals. Open Monday through Friday, The Café quickly became a local favorite, known for its warm atmosphere and consistently good food.
What started as a small community café grew into something more: a kitchen built on a genuine commitment to feeding people well, at every stage of life and for every occasion.
Our History
Over more than two decades, The Café has grown and evolved alongside the Leavenworth community. Since opening in 2005, the business has moved locations several times across the city, each move bringing The Café closer to where it needed to be. Through those changes, the team's dedication to quality and community never wavered.
In time, The Café transitioned from a sit-down restaurant to a full-service catering and meal prep operation — allowing the team to concentrate on what they do best. Today, The Café is proud to serve both private events and the community through the Meals on Wheels program, delivering nutritious, home-prepared meals to seniors and neighbors in need throughout the Leavenworth area.
