How We Score It
Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

“The design is great and I changed my hardware to incorporate the brass in my kitchen. I love that the middle drawer is configurable. Sometimes I need it as a freezer and sometimes I don't. I love using the app. It makes operating the refrigerator so easy.”

Brand Background
Café represents GE Appliances' entry into the luxury refrigerator segment, launched in 2018 and operated under parent company Haier from its Louisville, Kentucky headquarters. The brand has carved out a distinctive niche by emphasizing customizable aesthetics and design-forward styling, allowing homeowners to personalize hardware finishes and handle styles to match their kitchen décor. Fridge.com currently tracks 12 active models from Café, with French door configurations dominating the lineup at eight units—reflecting the brand's focus on premium, full-size kitchen installations. The catalog also includes specialty options such as a beverage center and compact unit, demonstrating some range beyond traditional refrigeration. Models like the CWE23SP4MW2 and CFE28TP3MD1 showcase the brand's commitment to modern aesthetics paired with functional design. With an average rating of 3.8 out of 5, Café occupies a respectable but not exceptional position in owner satisfaction, suggesting that while the brand delivers on visual appeal, performance experiences may vary. For buyers prioritizing kitchen design cohesion and willing to invest in a luxury-tier appliance, Café offers a compelling alternative to conventional stainless steel uniformity.
