Who makes it, and what to know
Café is a brand of GE Appliances, which is owned by Haier and based in Louisville, Kentucky. It was a GE product line from 2007 and became a brand of its own in 2018, with its own store and its own warranty. The warranty is one year on the whole appliance, parts and labor. Damage to the finish is covered only if you report it to Café within 48 hours of delivery. On Café's site it scores 4.2 out of 5 across 300 owner reviews, and 40 of those (13%) are one star. That is about one in eight. The one-star reviews we read describe trouble converting between natural gas and propane, repeat service visits, and a control board replaced in the first year. At 362 lb it needs a planned delivery and a qualified gas installer. You buy from Abt Electronics, a family-owned appliance and electronics store in Glenview, Illinois, open since 1936. Abt handles delivery and returns; the warranty is Café's. Abt takes most items back within 30 days in their original packaging, and may charge the return shipping.

Who it suits
The matte-finish cook
You want a range in matte white or matte black from a big American brand, with knobs and handles you can change later, delivered and installed for little extra.
Our read, from the Scorecard and from what owners write in their reviews.
For you if
- You want matte white or matte black, with knobs and handles you can swap later to six metal finishes
- You want the range installed for little extra: $99 delivery to the room you choose, and $25 more to install it and take the old one away
- You want repairs from GE Appliances' own service team, booked online or by phone
Not for you if
- You want a real color: matte white and matte black are the only ones
- You want a long warranty: Café gives one year, and finish flaws must be reported within 48 hours of delivery
- You need the range converted to propane when it arrives: Café's delivery crew won't do the conversion

How Café Appliances rates
Café Appliances ranges, scored out of 10 on eight measures. The reason sits under every score, and price is compared on the Scorecard.
Café's range pages never say where the ranges are built. GE Appliances, Café's owner and a Haier company, says its LaFayette, Georgia plant builds Café ranges, yet the 2021 recall of Café's 30 inch slide-in ranges says they were made in Mexico, and Canada's record of that recall names Mabe as the maker, and in 2025 GE said gas range production would move from Mexico to Georgia.
One year parts and labor on the whole range, and the warranty passes to the next owner. Finish flaws must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, commercial use is excluded, and where no Café servicer covers you, you may pay a trip charge.
Repairs go through Bodewell, GE Appliances' own factory service, booked online or by phone, but a repair visit carries only a 30-day labor warranty. Abt reviewers of this range describe new ovens that stopped heating, and one wrote: 'I have been without a stove for weeks.'
One recall touches this range: in December 2021 GE Appliances recalled about 132,000 ranges, including Café's 30 inch slide-ins, that could tip over if the anti-tip bracket was not fixed to the wall or floor. The recall covered ranges sold from May to July 2021, no injuries were reported, and the 36 and 48 inch commercial-style ranges were never recalled.
4.4 stars from 1,511 reviews on Café's own site for this range, pooled across finishes, and 4.5 stars from 1,425 reviews at Abt, almost all copied from Café's site. Behind the brand, GE Appliances has 3,537 BBB complaints in three years and a BBB review score of 1.07 out of 5 stars.
Matte white or matte black only, $250 over stainless on Café's own site. The knobs and handles can be swapped later to any of six metal finishes with a $649 kit, but the range body color is permanent and Café's samples go to designers only.
The matte white 30 inch gas range is in stock at Abt. Café's own site quotes about six weeks to a San Diego address, and at Abt the matte white induction double oven and the 36 and 48 inch ranges are on pre-order.
Room of choice on a flat $99 delivery: carried in, uncrated and the packaging taken away. $25 more installs the range and hauls the old one away, though Café's crew will not convert a range to propane.
