Perfect for Small Kitchens
on August 3, 2023
Posted by: M Anastasia
We purchased the Cafe as our primary fridge for our small kitchen. I didn’t want a large appliance in such a small space and this was a good option. The downsides are the expense of the fridge, it costs much more than a standard size fridge. Another issue is the plastic container that comes with the fridge, the lids are not attached and they slide awkwardly/or fall off. The metal spacers in the upper drawer are useless and not needed, but they are fixed and cannot be removed. At times the fridge can be quite loud with an odd humming noise. Finally, the fridge temp has to be kept to about 40 to ensure that food at the back doesn’t freeze.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the cafe appliance I was most excited about and it did not disappoint. Love it! It looks beautiful in my all white kitchen with the brushed bronze handles. I store fruit, cheese and olives in the top drawer and drinks in the bottom drawer. It is closest to my patio and easy to access for entertaining. Would definitely buy it again and again!
Beautiful refrigerator. So glad I decided on matte white with copper. It’s very easy to keep clean and always looks great. The white is a soft color and not stark like white appliances used to be. The only drawback is when full the drawers didn’t want to close all the way. So I sometimes have to lift it up a tiny bit and push the drawer in. This is why I’m rating it a 4 and not 5.
This unit is a big improvement over our former beverage refrigerator, particularly in terms of access to and visibility of the items inside. No more getting down on my knees to find what I’m looking for! The storage dividers are also very useful.
The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars are the occasional “Pop” sounds when the compressor stops. Build quiz great but for this price it should be practically silent and it’s not.
Cafe appliances have a look like no other. We love the matte black with the copper handles. The features on the appliances are great too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The LED screen does not register real time temperature in the unit. It shows the setting that you program. Well it turns out my fridge has not been working since day one because the temperature reading I assumed was 34 degrees, but it was not going that low. Actual temp via thermometer was 46. Now my fridge is passed warranty and I’m SOL
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
