Welcome to the heart of New Brighton, where the charming LISBETH CAFE RESTAURANT awaits to delight your senses. Nestled at 788 Cleveland Ave SW, this cafe is a true gem, known for its inviting atmosphere and mouthwatering brunch offerings. When you step inside, the warm aromas and tasteful decor embrace you, creating an ideal spot for family gatherings, casual brunch dates, or a peaceful meal alone.
LISBETH has earned a reputation, and rightly so, for its exceptional dishes that keep customers coming back for more. One standout is the Smoked Salmon Benedict, a classic dish that artfully combines poached eggs with creamy hollandaise, perfectly balanced by a hint of lemon vinaigrette. For those craving something hearty, the LA AMERICANA delivers two perfectly cooked eggs alongside crispy bacon and comforting hash browns, all for an affordable $12.95.
The versatility of the menu is an undeniable highlight. Whether you’re indulging in the Breakfast Burrito filled with scrambled eggs and cheddar, or savoring the succulent steak and eggs, there’s something here for every palate. The feedback from diners is overwhelmingly positive, as echoed in Casey Charging’s remark about the “phenomenal” food, particularly the Bolon Mixto, where the perfection of pork belly truly shines.
But brunch is just the beginning! The presence of fresh salads and savory soups complements the extensive menu. The Greek Salad and Cobb Salad offer vibrant, refreshing options, while the daily Soup of the Day provides a warm embrace, especially during colder months. Each plate is a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation.
No meal is complete without a refreshing beverage, and LISBETH offers a lovely selection, from crisp sodas to rich cappuccinos that perfectly balance the flavors of your meal. Customers rave about the friendly service, with many noting the quick turnaround on takeout orders, making it a convenient stop for those on the go. Matt Kotlan’s enthusiasm after picking up his shawarma sandwich captures the spirit of the café—great food made even better by a welcoming atmosphere.
The tranquil ambiance, enhanced by soothing music, makes it an ideal choice for families, as Gabriana Fiester discovered. With reasonable prices and homemade touches, you’ll find your meal here caters not only to your taste buds but to your purse as well. Even the homemade pickles, as highlighted by Mrs. E, prove that every detail is crafted with care.
In a world filled with dining choices, LISBETH CAFE RESTAURANT stands out for its commitment to quality, flavor, and a delightful dining experience. Whether you're visiting for brunch, lunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up, this café is sure to leave a lasting impression. Don’t miss out on this hidden treasure—you’ll leave with a satisfied heart and a full belly, and maybe like Corey Wipper, you'll find yourself reminiscing about your lunch here long after you’ve left.

This place is a hidden gem. I have no idea how there is not a wait time and a line out the door. The food is phenomenal. The only problem is that I dont have enough room in my stomach to order everything. Some day I will have toured the entire menu, but until that day, the Bolon Mixto has stolen my heart. The pork belly is perfection incarnate. A crunchy outside, tender mouthwatering perfection. If you see a tent outside when you come here, fear not, good citizen. It is only me, living as close as I can to my beloved pork belly.

I’m still eating my shawarma sandwich as I write this, and WOW! The scents from the restaurant (and the aroma floating around my car on the drive home) told me all I needed to know, and they did not disappoint. I’d recommend this place to all of my friends and I’ll definitely be back! I ordered for pick-up, showed up early and they were very friendly, and my food was out earlier than the app said. If you’re on the fence, get off of it and go HERE for lunch!

I went with my husband and my son! It was quiet and calm being that we were the only ones there. The music on the tv was a nice touch. The food was really good and we were all able to get something we like!

I don’t leave reviews often. Took my wife on a little breakfast date today - it was fantastic. It reminded me of being on vacation in Mexico and going on breakfast dates. The smoothie wasn’t cheap and full of ice - pretty much all fruit, the over easy eggs are somehow better than my best efforts at home in the cast-iron (eggs right from the chicken?!), hash browns were buttery and cooked to perfection… breakfast food is usually the same everywhere, but this place took it up a notch.

Home made pickles. Reasonable prices. Chicken meat was a bit spicier than I usually expect.

Found through OpenTable.com , this quaint little suburban restaurant has what it takes to get my 5 star rating and a spot on my Google Guide's Reviews list. We started with the cheese empanadas and I give this two thumbs up. I got the impression this place has a strong Ecuadorian influence. Everything was superb including the simple mixed greens salad , so fresh and simply perfect. There was nothing left on our plates , not even a crumb.

Never been here before. I love that the menu is small enough to read and decide within a reasonable amount of time. The food was delicious! It's not a fancy place, but well worth a stop. I wish I had room for a mango lassi. Maybe next time!

My Greek Chicken & Feta sandwich was perfect (moist, deliciously seasoned & grilled). And my daughter & wife loved their Gyros (& especially the salad dressing!). Fries were also superb. We were blown away by how how great this humble little restaurant is, & we’ll be back to try more.
