The Cary Cafe is family owned and operated offering two generations of traditional and foreign recipes and is known as a "best-kept secret" among the locals. Abdul and Vicky Ismail, owners of the cafe, have enjoyed the food business together for many years. They moved to Cary in 1995, and opened "The Cary Cafe" that same year. The recipes they use come from near and far, but most are from Vicky's mom, who has mastered the art of making fine quiches, salad dressings, and soups. With our use of top quality ingredients and our scrupulous attention to detail, our goal is to give you a delightful breakfast or lunch "out" whether dining alone or with family, friends, or business associates.
