Suzie's Cafe & Catering sits just off Southpoint Circle in Valparaiso and offers a traditional, family-style breakfast experience that feels like a local staple. From the moment you step inside, the space surprises with its size despite a modest exterior, comfortably accommodating busy morning crowds without feeling cramped. The atmosphere carries a warm, bustling vibe typical of a neighborhood breakfast spot where familiar faces come to start their day.

This cafe shines brightest in the mornings, attracting a mix of early risers — from families grabbing brunch after nearby errands, to professionals stopping by after a visit to the BMV across the street. The staff works efficiently even at peak times, keeping coffee cups full and plates moving without rushing the experience.

Menu-wise, Suzie's leans into Southern-inspired comfort classics with offerings like Chicken Fried Steak, Steak and Eggs, and a standout Texas Cinnamon Roll that often gets local praise for size and flavor. The dessert table and homemade cakes also draw a crowd, especially for those with a sweet tooth looking for a reliably generous slice. Fresh fruit sourced locally adds a lighter balance to the otherwise hearty menu.

While the cinnamon rolls and open-faced sandwiches are frequently mentioned highlights, options like the Country Benedict and Meat Lovers Omelette demonstrate Suzie’s commitment to hearty, traditional breakfast fare that satisfies a broad range of tastes. The occasional missteps — like unevenly toasted raisin cinnamon bread — seem rare and are generally offset by the friendly service and consistent quality in the main dishes.

Visitors should come expecting a straightforward, unpretentious breakfast joint with plenty of parking and a comfortable seating layout that can handle groups large and small. Weekend mornings here tend to be busy, so arriving early or midweek might offer a more relaxed pace. In all, Suzie’s Cafe & Catering caters best to locals who appreciate a solid breakfast that feels homemade and filling, served with genuinely welcoming hospitality.

Suzie's is awesome as is Suzie herself! The atmosphere here is great, a family style breakfast restaurant with a wait staff who are always the best. The food is very good and I very rarely am I mixed on something I'm having here. Is it the best breakfast food I've ever eaten? No, but it doesn't have to be. It's excellent top to bottom and don't even get me started on Cinnamon rolls. This is as of right now my absolute favorite breakfast place in town and nothing else really comes close at the moment. Great place to spend a morning out with your family and a business cares about your patronage. And again, Suzie herself is undeniably a wonderful lady.

Good breakfast, great lunch, but the desserts are DIVINE! Went to breakfast here with my wife and son and enjoyed the meal. Highlights are definitely their cinnamon rolls which are the size of a plate and insanely delectable, and the homemade cinnamon raisin bread. I found my pecan waffle to be a bit of a let down, but the meal was still overall good. Service was great considering how busy the place gets. What seems to be missing from so many reviewed is how outrageously delicious the desserts are at Suzie's! My inner fat kid got so excited, that I ate my dessert before I realized I hadn't taken a picture of it to share yet. Guess I have to go back and try again...darn. UPDATE: 04/14/21 My inner fat kid won the battle...pictures of the divine desserts below.

Now that I am seeing all of the complimentary cinnamon rolls given, I feel left out!! I went this morning because I had business at the BMV (across the street) and it was breakfast time. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with fruit. The fruit is from local business and Thee Best Fruit I have had in a while! My children ordered the French Toast combo with crispy bacon and finally a place that understands what crispy bacon is!!! Love it here

Had the Country Benedict! We came and it was extremely busy, but they got us in and food was quick and delicious. Usually when places are busy you'll see the food on your plate was made with haste but not here all quality. They kept the coffee flowing and service was awesome. Looks small from outside but is quite big on inside and plenty of parking. Two thumbs up!

The Omelet was great! Pancakes were good too! Prices were excellent! Ordered two slices of raisin cinnamon bread. Both pieces were totally burnt on one side! Discovered it when I returned home! Very disappointed!

Would rate 6/5 stars. Best place to eat for breakfast in Valparaiso. Reasonable prices. Great staff. Kalee was one of our usual waitresses and she's so great!

We took a group of residents from Brookdale Senior Living to have lunch here and I just wanted to say how refreshing it is to have such a caring business in our community. We are often met with rude management and staff because we need accommodations and we often pay with separate tickets and I know it’s not easy, but not here. I’m very aware of how a business runs and try to be considerate of the challenges from staffing to prep work so I always call ahead and explain what we need and Suzie herself made sure everything was perfect. We were waited on by Kelly and she’s clearly a professional they wanted for nothing, she was on it! The food was SO fresh and presented well everyone loved what they got. These senior citizens deserve to go on outings and enjoy life!!! I just wanted to say thank you from our family to yours, it means so much that you made them feel welcome.
