I have been wanting to try this place for quite some time now. And we finally pulled the trigger today. Let me tell you the gentleman at the counter. And the cook are both absolutely wonderful people. She makes some of the absolute best homemade food in the area. If you are looking for a traditional polish cuisine, I absolutely recommend giving Kat's Cafe a try. I will say most people would probably shy away. Because the prices are a little high for our area. But please keep in mind that you are getting authentic. Homemade food made with fresh ingredients and anyone who cooks knows the time and expense that goes into preparing a meal from scratch. Trust me, your taste buds will agree that the food is well worth the price.
I didn't really know what to expect going in, but this place did not disappoint! Great food in a nice atmosphere that was a little unexpected in Minersville. This was some of the best kielbasa, borscht, and halopski that I've had in a very long time. Well done! Next time I will have to try some of the desserts.

Hi Jesse. Thank you, kindly. Minersville like many small U.S. towns had lovely main streets that were once the envy of the world. For whatever reasons such as macroeconomics many places across the country have had to build up again. We hope that Kat's place serving delicious, homemade food made with love can be another great business on main street for the residents of Minersville and the surrounding community to enjoy some great food, drinks, and vibes. Please spread the word and yes by all means try other items from our menu. You may find something you didn't even know you like until you try it. Our desserts are homemade as well. Thanks again, Jesse!
AMAZING authentic polish food made from great ingredients! You won’t go away hungry! Kat came out and spoke with us (in her wonderful Polish accent) and made sure we were happy! The atmosphere is clean and simple…open cafe. Desserts were yummy too! We traveled 16 miles to try it and we will be back! Thank you! ❤️
We have been wanting to get here for a few months based on reviews and the menu. Wow, what a fantastic place for real comfort food. We had dinner and 4 of us were stuffed and smiling. The food is made with love. Sounds corny but it really shows. Authentic Polish offerings with many next level dishes on the menu. We will be back for breakfast and lunch. The chef was extremely knowledgeable about food allergies as well which was a bonus for us. Thank you Kat & David for giving this area a 5 star destination for this fare. Show them some love and try this café.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! 😊 We’re truly glad you made it in for dinner after eyeing the menu for months—and even happier that all four of you left stuffed and smiling. We encourage everyone to come in and try the food. We have Central and Eastern European dishes, as well as American classics. It's country-style, homemade food!
“Made with love” isn’t corny at all—Kat really does cook with heart, and it means a lot that you could taste it in the food. We’re also grateful you mentioned the allergy awareness—taking care of guests safely and confidently (guests need to let us know if they have an allergy) is a big priority for us and that includes gluten-free options whenever possible.
Thank you for the kind words about Kat & David and for recommending us to others. We can’t wait to welcome you back for breakfast and lunch soon!

Amazing braised pork and sauerkraut right out of the oven. The zurek soup with rye bread was fantastic. Kay came out herself and went over that day’s offerings.

This place is such a hidden gem. The food is homemade with care and you can absolutely tell. Everything I tried tasted like my childhood.
The atmosphere is great. The owner is so much fun and the staff is just so kind and helpful.
I will definitely be going again.

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the friendly service, exceptional food, and our clean, welcoming space. We couldn’t agree more—if you haven’t tried authentic Polish food before, Kat will set the bar high. And if you’re craving comfort-food classics, we also serve country-style favorites with those Pennsylvania flavors. Either way, good homemade food is always worth a try—hope to see you back soon at Kat’s Café & Restaurant!
We're still craving authentic Polish food since coming back from our trip. Drove and hour to visit when we saw they had Zurek on the menu.
So glad we visited, everything was perfect. Our server was super nice and attentive. The zurek was excellent, with a really generous portions of kilbo. We got cups instead of bowls, thinking it would be small, and it was still a huge portion. The zurek was exactly like the zurek we had in Poland, so awesome to be able to get it again. The pierogi were excellent too. We got the traditional and the meat, both were perfectly stuffed and topped with fried onions. We need to go back again to try some of the other pierogi flavors.
They had a nice selection of polish drinks (I was able to get some Lech Free...the goats on the can made me so nostalgic for Poznan) and Prince Polo to go.
Oh, and they have a cool selection of pierogi merch (ornaments, pens, etc). Fun stuff.
We were hoping to get to chat with Kat a bit, but she seemed pretty busy. Maybe next time.
I highly recommend a visit here. We'll definitely be back.

Thank you so much for making the one-hour drive to visit us—and for sharing such a thoughtful review! 😊 We’re thrilled you found the żurek (traditional sour rye soup) you were craving and that it tasted just like what you had in Poland. All of our recipes are truly authentic and rooted in tradition, even the modern twists we've created. And yes—our “cups” tend to surprise people with how generous they are, especially with that big portion of kielbasa! Thanks for noticing and mentioning it.
We’re so glad you enjoyed both the traditional and meat pierogi (fried onions always make it, and we also recommend crumbled bacon especially with the potato-cheese or meat pierogi 👌), and we’d love to have you back to explore more flavors including our own unique creations like the buffalo chicken. It’s also wonderful to hear you found some nostalgic favorites like Lech and Prince Polo—and that the pierogi merch made you smile, it's all custom made.
Please come back again soon—Kat would love to chat when the kitchen slows down a bit. She always does her best to come out and say hello, but at times the kitchen needs her full attention. Dziękujemy and see you next time!

Delicious! I've been to Kat's 3 times in the past month and a half and I stay impressed and I leave full. We've tried Haluskie, peirogie, their special kielbasa, soups, blintz's and all were so good they will be ordered again! Truly looking forward to visiting again for homemade taste and quality with out getting one pot dirty.
