~Fresh~ That is what we specialize in.

History

Established in 2011.

Curve Café is located at 3417 Lincolnway East, Mishawaka in the Twin Branch area halfway between Capitol & Bittersweet. Previously the ‘family’ Between the Buns, it is now Mishawaka’s favorite breakfast spot.

Curve Café currently (Jan ’16) offers a monthly 2.99 breakfast feature and free soft drinks/​coffee for seniors (with any purchase). It has become a favorite because of it’s speedy service and amazing foods. Signature items include: in-​house fresh-​made Corned Beef hash, freshly baked biscuits & homemade sausage gravy, and the famous Stuffed Cinnamon Roll.

The line at the door may scare you, but only briefly due to the quickness guests are served. Reservations are encouraged on weekends & holidays.

We love the curve!!! Great food, great location, great people. They really care how you like your food. We go here about 3 times a month for breakfast.

I have only eaten here once but I must say I will return. Came for breakfast with 4 women and everybody said they enjoyed what they ordered.
I had the veggie omelet and it was delicious! The vegetables were all extremely fresh and they didn’t skimp, also there was quite a variety of veggies too!
EGGS were real and just a very good taste.
I ordered the pancake which came with it, perfectly cooked.
They also have sitting on the table this amazingly good jalapeño ketchup, yummy.
Ok give them a try, I recommend going because it’s fun, delicious food and very friendly there!
Oh and the price is right.
The coffee is good too!

The best breakfast place in the area, period! Wonderful staff. Great corned beef hash. Excellent sausage gravy. Coffee is darn good. Don’t be discouraged if the place is packed when you get there. Tables open up quickly. They always have good specials also. Lunch is dynamite as well. Excellent burgers. A BLT with a pound of bacon on it. I haven’t had a bad meal there, and I’ve easily gone there 30+ times.

Excellent service and food. Egg white omelet with special requests came out perfect. Pancakes are delicious. American fries are some of the best I have ever had. Hash browns are excellent as well. Fresh fruit is really fresh and an excellent option instead of toast for a few pennies more. Well worth trying this place. Packed on Sunday morning butter service is sooooo good that they crank through the line waiting very quickly. Best breakfast we have had in this area without a doubt.

Best eggs Benedict, great service, flavored coffee creamer, this is hands down my favorite breakfast place. They also get their meat locally from DC meats. We’ve never had a bad experience here. The only thing that is a problem is the parking lot is so small, you can still find a spot even during busy hours. You just have to drive around a few times. They also have a rewards program that is compatible with Between the Buns rewards since they own it.

One of my favorite breakfast places! If you love fresh corned beef hash, this is the place to go. Great staff, variety of creamer for your coffee and s much more :)

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Friendly (and fast) staff and tasty food! (They could stand to turn off Fox news, though)
Now that they are open for dinner on Fridays, I have my favorite Breakfasts, Lunches, and Dinners here. (Hint, Fried Chicken Dinner is extremely generous and very good!)
Now there is a bad part, since it is such a good value and has great tasting food, the waiting area can get cramped during real busy times. It’s a worthwhile tradeoff though.

This is my absolute favorite breakfast place in the area and I’ll tell you why… It’s that cinnamon roll French toast, man. I ordered it on a whim the first time I came and have gotten it every time since. A cinnamon roll… But French toast. With sweet cream filling and lots of fruit on top.
You also cannot beat Curve’s prices. It’s so affordable and so delicious, and they’re willing to customize basically anything for you if you request it. They have great specials on weekdays too. It does get crowded on weekends… So expect a bit of a wait. It’s never been horrible, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten seated right away on the weekend. It will be worth it!

Food is really great here, and the menu for breakfast is extensive. Biscuits are some of the best Ive had, and I make a pretty good biscuit myself. If you like corned beef hash… they serve the best in the world. Its pieces of real corned beef with redskin potatoes. I was almost in disbelief when I ordered it.
Check out the breakfast specials, quite often they are pretty creative.
Its owned by the company that owns Between the buns… so you get a TV at every booth. Im not sure why this is so important… I personally prefer not to watch television during a meal.
Service is very good… I have had friendly and adept service here during a breakfast rush. The place is generally packed mid mornings consistently… which says a lot.
Give the Curve a shot… its a good value, the service is very good and you will not be disappointed with the food quality and presentation.
Have not tried lunch here, but will update when I do.

WOW, was not expecting this level of quality of food/​service. A stupendous omelet. stellar service, a and great atmosphere. While the majority of the clientele seemed to be retirees, the staff was attentive and on the spot. Great food, great service, good attitude. Only thing keeping it from a five star was the price on coffee and sides. Would recommend this this place to anyone over 60

Enjoyed the biscuits and fries covered in their sausage gravy. Good sized portions and really low prices. We had great service and my girlfriend loved her country omelette. We will be back!

Been going to the curve for three years now. Not a better way to start your day when you are in need of breakfast and in s hurry early on the morning. The staff is friendly and very good at what they do. Coffee and water filled constantly, which I really appreciate. The food is also very good. The portions are fair and prices are more then reasonable. The country Manhattan is my favorite and as always, it is very good today. i

We had breakfast with friends about a month ago (sorry for the review delay). It was our first visit — and it won’t be our last visit! The food and service was great. I appreciate how accommodating you all were with my husband’s walker making sure it was placed in a secure area. When I found out our table for 4 changed quickly to a table for 5, our server immediately found another chair to pull up to the table. We have now found our favorite breakfast spot. Keep up the GREAT work!!! Oh one more thing — your coffee was the BEST I have ever tasted in a restaurant establishment

LOVE The Curve! They have the best biscuits and gravy if you like the sausage a little spicy. They also have the best homemade cinnamon rolls! (Ask for the cream cheese icing)

Great place for breakfast. Good sausage gravy but I wish the biscuits where more frim. They are too soft to hold up to the gravy. Could bake them a little longer. Also wish the chicken fried steak was homemade instead of frozen but it was still pretty tasty. To break it down. 5 stars for the gravy. 2 stars for the biscuit and 3 stars for the frozen chicken fried steak and this is only because it is frozen and not homemade.

I live right down the street from The Curve so it’s a convenient stop for breakfast on my days off. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is relatively friendly. I like how they left the tv’s in all the booths, my fiancé’ isn’t a huge fan of the tv’s since I have the attention span of a toddler when a tv is on but hey. The food is priced well and you get a fair amount for what you pay but the cooking lacks a bit. While I know they get their bacon locally it is almost always bland and very fatty… some people like their bacon like that but I prefer some flavor and a bit less chew. The eggs benedict is pretty consistent in that the sauce is always good (and you never seem to get enough) but the poached eggs are always overcooked with a solid yolk, not really what you want for your eggs benedict. The sausage gravy tastes fantastic but the consistency leaves a lot to be desired. If the cooking was improved even just slightly they could achieve 5 stars in my book!

Absolutely incredible food! Service is quick and efficient. Everyone is friendly. This place just became mine and my boyfriend’s new weekend brunch ‘go to’. Great job everyone!

Seems like the quality of food has gone downhill as of late. We have probably been to Curve Café 15+ times since it opened. I’d rather go to a local place than a large chain like IHOP. Food was always great and prices were low when it first opened. Lately the food has been subpar. I’ve ordered their prime rib and eggs special three times. Each time I asked for medium-​rare and was served steak that was completely grey. It seems like the prime rib was left over from a previous day. I’ve uploaded a picture of the medium-​rare prime rib I ordered most recently. After three orders I’ve learned my lesson and will no longer attempt to order it. I’ve also ordered the normal menu steak and eggs and again received a well done steak when I asked for medium-​rare.
It would also be nice if they offered a true children’s menu.
I do enjoy the sweat breads they offer and their corn beef hash is homemade and good.
If the food does not improve we will probably start looking for another breakfast spot.

Finally stopped in to give this place a try. Hostess was young student age girl who wasn’t particularly friendly, but not rude either. Seated us right in the middle at a table near the kitchen. Super loud and noisy which made it difficult to have a conversion. Ordered corn beef hash and eggs. The hash was good, but not very warm. Eggs were okay. Portion was average and pricing seemed fait. Our waitress was over the top friendly and gave great service. I’d only come back if I knew she was going to wait our table again. She made the experience great. The food was good, but not so good that it couldn’t be found elsewhere.
