The Galley Cafe

I've had breakfast there twice, the best breakfast that I've ever had. The service was top notch and friendly. I can't wait to get back there and have some lunch! (On the way out I saw a burger on the grill, OMG! It looked so good). They even have a selection of pastries. Do yourself a favor and stop by there.

This charming little cafe has become a true family tradition for us. Owned by the husband-and-wife team of Cookie and Patrick, it has a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere where you feel like an honored guest rather than just a customer. Cookie and Patrick have a genuine warmth and care for all their customers, making each person feel like part of their extended family. They take the time to get to know everyone who walks through the door, remembering our names and our usual orders. It's like coming home every time we visit. The food is absolutely delicious, and I've sampled numerous items on the menu without ever being disappointed. Everything is made with such care and attention to quality. And the specials, when I'm lucky enough to get one, are always a delightful surprise - creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed. It's become a cherished Saturday ritual for my daughter and I to enjoy breakfast or lunch at the cafe. She looks forward to it all week, and I love that we've made this a special family tradition. Cookie and Patrick have truly become like family to us, and we feel so grateful to have this gem of a neighborhood spot. Patrick's pride in having served our country shines through in the food he prepares. You can taste the passion and dedication he brings to every dish, infusing each bite with a patriotic spirit. Alongside Cookie's warm hospitality, it creates a dining experience that is truly special. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, amazing homemade food infused with patriotic pride, and a true sense of community, this cafe is an absolute must-visit. Cookie and Patrick pour their hearts and souls into serving their customers, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. I can't recommend it highly enough!

My husband and I ate there for the first time last weekend after visiting the Fairfield yard sale. We had breakfast. The food was great! The service was amazing and the people were friendly. It’s nice to be able to see back in the kitchen to know what you’re being fed. Everything was clean crisp and just wonderful. We need more places like this. There’s not a lot of choices for breakfast I’m glad we found our new spot.

Have eaten here numerous times since they opened and a couple times twice a day. The owners have been great just to talk with and my family hasn't been disappointed by anything they have served up. The desserts are too die for. If your looking for great chow at a great price drop by and see Patrick and Cookie. Semper Fi

Great food and fantastic service! I went with my toddler and for some reason she got scared and started crying when we sat down. The owners quickly responded by turning on the TV, and finding her favorite TV show! Worked like a charm. The restaurant is very clean and I love the military theme. I will recommend this cafe to all my friends and family in Fairfield!

Walk in to this whole-in-the-wall diner and be greeted with a warm, friendly welcome and genuine smiles. Sit down at one of the tables and take in the atmosphere that advertises the U.S. Navy and much memorabilia. Get waited on by a delightful waitress and hear the stories she brings with her. Enjoy excellent food with a great atmosphere at this lovely location!

Love having a locally owned business so close to home! We have always had great service & food. Owners are always welcoming & friendly. Love the Navy & patriotic decor. Plan to continue supporting this business owned by a Navy veteran!

Came here by recommendation with some friends and my Mrs… Wonderful food, fast service, and great pricing. Pancakes were exceptional beyond that of another popular B-fast chain, not to mention much better portion sizes, no wait, less crowded, etc… I don’t eat out often but this establishment has been added to the roster. Everyone else’s food looked good, and the entire table was happy.
