Cafe Appliances Review | Refrigerators, Ranges, Dishwashers & More
Is a Cafe refrigerator, range, cooktop, or dishwasher the right choice for your home? Since GE makes Cafe appliances, we know it's a lineup that you can rely on, but how does it compare to GE Profile or Monogram?
With their most recent rebrand in 2018, Cafe appliances have a fashion-forward design that will make any kitchen look good. But there are so many choices and it's hard to navigate whether you should go all-in with Cafe or not. That's where we come in. In this video, we'll give you an overview of the Cafe lineup and what they offer when it comes to refrigeration, cooking, and more.

Thank you! Very helpful to know the similarities and differences between GE and Cafe
Thank you for making this video!! 🙏🏽 I loved the intro. Funny thing is I paused the video at 0:18 to google cafe’ and GE and got a good laugh when you said at 0:38 “…You heard me right…”
Thank you for this thorough description! I'll be remodeling a kitchen soon and was curious about Cafe. I live in California, so I won't be using your services, but I appreciate the video! 😊

I have the GE Cafe CC2S950 gas range. From new(2020 or 2021), the front right burner on simmer up to number 2 setting where flame is still low would cause the sensor to think the flame is out and would activate all spark ignitions of all burners 1-2 times every minute. Cannot use it on simmer. Had tech out 3-4 times for this. They tried to add a ground cable to another burner (front left burner) and it seems to have helped. ALSO a very bad design flaw is that the exhaust vent for the oven, which operates when the oven is on and for several minutes after the oven is off, located at the rear right blows horizontally across the right two burners. If you are using those burners when the exhaust is operating, the blowing air will blow out the burners unless on medium to high flame. But then the flame is not uniform and dancing all over the place due to the exhaust air flow. To some extent, it also affects the flame on the middle burners. When the rear right oven exhaust is operating, I must use something thin and upright and police it at the rear of the right cast iron grate to block the airflow if using the burners on the right. The the exhaust will blow upwards. I use my stainless steel stove top round burner covers. No fix from GE.
Do you recommend the optional storage drawer for the advantium single wall oven ?
Can the cafe induction range be installed flush against a back wall or does it have to have the rear trim installed?
What is the largest cookie sheet or jelly roll type pan will the wall oven accommodate?
Hi Need a little advise, CGS700P4MW2, does it come with sliding racks?
The36 gas 6 burner range has a griddle but is it included?

Can you stack the single wall oven Advantium with the single wall oven French door oven ?
How are the Electrolux kitchen appliances compared to Cafe? Thanks

Excellent video. I have a question, I have the Cafe range C2S950M2NS5 and I wonder if I can swap the handles and knobs with the optional colors you showed in the video? if so do you have a part number or a link where I can purchase it. Thank you

Unfortunately, the handles aren't interchangeable since the specs are different. We have an in-depth review of Monogram on our blog (not video, yet): www.designerappliances.com/blog/monogram-appliances/
I purchased the Café Refrigerator, 28.7 Cu. Ft. 4-Door French-Door, model #CGE29DP4TBW2 while at an appliance showroom. What I did not know is that the refrigerator is not completely white. The sides are painted black. I do not have a cabinet sleeve to put the refrigerator in, so black sides are an issue for me. Be advised that they do not make add-on white side panels for this model refrigerator.

Hi. Does the Cafe Modern Glass model external water dispenser be changed to an internal water dispenser? Model no: CVE28DM5NS5

No, the glass models only have exterior water dispensers. If you want internal, you'll have to opt for the french door CWE19SP4NW2 or CWE23SP4MW2.
Where can we find a tutorial for these appliances? Want to use microwave air fry, hoped to find instructions easily. Guess its the countertop air fryer tonight. 😒
After spending 10,000 dollers on Cafe appliances to find out there are no instructions,or recipe books with them because (our company has gone green and no longer offer them,except as digital) is crazy. 1200dollars for under powered microwave 950watts output, cannot get airfryer to work correctly. Now we have a beautiful microwave, plus a ninja airfyer on the counter. Took a while to figure out the two drawer dishwasher but with no instructions we got it to work but without the (features). You would think the range would have a nonstick griddle, not so. On the refrigerator, the ice maker has a very small container, we buy extra ice for family gatherings Everything with these appliances is trial and error.
Cafe Appliances are gorgeous. Unfortunately, they are not available (back order) or discontinued and I am wondering why. Another issue with microwaves is that is 300 CFM (not 400 CFM), not powerful enough for me.

You should definitely break in your new oven! Turn on your vent hood and, if possible, open a few nearby windows. Set the oven to high heat, between 400 to 550 degrees then let it run at this temperature for between 30 minutes and an hour. Hope that helps!

The top end CDT875 is very quiet and get to as low as 39dB for some cycles.
Although beautiful, I'M SO UPSET will all my Cafe appliances, at 3yrs old GE Cafe oven's motherboard died & GE cannot/will not repair it. WE WERE TOLD by GE they would give us $250 credit towards new purchase. The GE Cafe induction cook top WORKS Intermittenlty. The GE cafe convection/microwave oven have issues: cook top only works intermittenly. The convection/microwave oven interior door seal is pulling/melting away. My beautiful french door refrigerator freezer drain freezes over and thus leaks. :( lemons...
This is slightly misleading since the upper oven of Cafe doesn't seem like having convection function, but just the lower oven.
We decided on "G.E. Cafe' " since we wanted white. Many companies only have stainless steel. Also, "Whirlpool" has taken over other major brands such as "Kitchenaid" and "Maytag" are just "Whirlpool" with a different name on them. That shouldn't be allowed as the "Whirlpool" brand is crap!!!
MAY BE DEFECTIVE...DO NOT BUY. Bought a new GE Cafe range 2 years ago. Was delivered with defect that has re-occurred twice since then. GE refuses to refund me or replace the unit. Do not waste your money or time researching further. This store is probably just fine, but definitely buy a different brand. GE products reliability sucks and their customer service is even worse.
Our Cafe' Fridge is Junk!!! Dont do it - Stops cooling for No Reason and Ices up the Evap coil repeatedly. Garbage.
Do not buy the GE Cafe refrigerator. It looks beautiful but it will only cool from 41-51 degrees at best. It is the worse refrigerator I have ever owned. GE will do anything to NOT replace it. I am 65 and have owned many refrigerator's over the years GE Cafe is the worst! Buyer beware.
My GE Cafe fridge is literally the worst product ever purchased. The freezer fan makes howling, airplane-like noise all days. Multiple repair people have replaced parts and nothing has corrected the problem. Stay away from these products.
Run for the Hills. DO NOT buy GE CAFE APPLIANCES

In general the CAFE ranges and refrigerators are top notch (very reliable, even heating, powerful, good features), similar to the GE Profile versions they are based on. The dishwashers are decent, but the Bosch 800 series or the Miele 7000 series are the best options for mid/upper tier (~$1200 to ~$2000).
