"This refrigerator is a big investment, but in my opinion, worth it! It is the centerpiece of our kitchen, and everyone knows the kitchen is the hub of the house! It has a huge capacity, and the interior lighting is top-notch."
Café Refrigerators Based on Kitchen Color Schemes
One of the main benefits of buying a Café refrigerator is that you can choose the best color that works for you and finishes that match your existing design aesthetic. Café offers six different finishes, ranging from brushed bronze to black. Even if you choose a simple Café stainless steel refrigerator, you can jazz it up with custom hardware in various metallic finishes. Here are two top options to choose from.
✔ For White Kitchens: Café 22.2 Cu. Ft. Matte White Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
Shop This Cafe Matte White Refrigerator
This Café matte white refrigerator is a great option if you want a unique appliance in your kitchen. Matte white is a rare find, and you can elevate the color with a finish of your choice on the handles.
The exterior water and ice dispenser don’t detract from the beautiful color scheme. This is a perfect example of how you can buy a GE Café French door refrigerator that you love, full of one-of-a-kind style and features that feel genuinely high-end.
⭐Featured Café CYE22TP4MW2 Review:

This Café matte black refrigerator is a great option for dark-themed kitchens. We especially like using black refrigerators in larger kitchens as an anchor to balance the setting. With a choice of six custom handle finishes, you can decorate this fridge as you please.

It starts with more than 27 cubic feet of storage, plus upgrades like a middle drawer with convertible temperature settings and the exclusive Humidity Control System for ultimate produce preservation. With more than 2,700 5-star reviews, this top-rated Café refrigerator is both style and function.

"Love, love this refrigerator! So easy to organize everything with lots of drawers, and just tons of room. So many great features like the glass shelves and back panel lighting!"
Café Refrigerators Based on Design Style
Today’s refrigerators come in a variety of designs. Not only can you choose between a side-by-side refrigerator or French door model, but you can also choose from refrigerators that were designed for different kitchens. A freestanding model can look as good tucked into your cabinets as it does on its own. Meanwhile, counter-depth refrigerators are built so they don’t stick out. Here is a great example of a refrigerator built for specific customer needs.
✔ For Integrated Kitchens: Café 20.2 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Built-In Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
Shop This Cafe Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
Once you find refrigerators that meet your size needs, you can filter the various models by your style preferences. This Café bottom freezer refrigerator is popular in households that don’t go through as much frozen food. However, it comes with a bonus drawer that can be set to a wide range of temperatures, so if you need extra freezer space, it only takes a button.
This is a built-in refrigerator, which means it will fit completely flush with your cabinetry for a professional presentation. We recommend this bottom-freezer model if you want an appliance that blends into the rest of your kitchen from Café’s beautiful line.
Café Refrigerators Based on Lifestyle
Once you have all of your size aspects and style preferences, you can make sure you are choosing a refrigerator with the features you need. Look at some of the top Café models to find units with Wi-Fi connectivity, hot water dispensers, and other bonus elements that make everyday tasks easy (and even fun).
✔ For Busy Kitchens: Café 22.3 Cu. Ft. Platinum Glass Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
Shop This Cafe 4-Door French Door Refrigerator
This GE Café counter depth refrigerator is both fashionable and functional. The water dispenser has a sensor that provides the perfect pour, so standing around for your glass to be filled is a thing of the past.
The bonus drawer has a Soft Freeze option which isn’t as cold as the full freezer section, ideal for gelatos and deli items. But what we love the most about this Café Platinum Glass refrigerator is the exclusive finish that is a cinch to clean—just wipe with a cloth and water, and most messes release instantly.
⭐Featured Café CXE22DM5PS5 Review:
"The middle separate drawer and the full light across the back make this very accessible and easy to find items!"
