GE Cafe is very good for cooking appliances. We have had a Cafe electric range and microwave in our vacation home for 7 years now and it works just fine. We also have had a GE Monogram rangetop, single oven and Advantium speed oven in our primary residence for 5 years and have had no problems with them. (The Monogram and Cafe lines are very similar) We especially use the speed oven ALL the time, much more than the regular full-sized oven, and recommend it highly.
As for refrigerators and dishwashers, I'm not a fan of GE. I recommend Bosch for the DW, which I've had for 5 years also, and I love it. It's quiet, cleans very well, and fits flush with the cabinets. I'd say that refrigerators are the trickiest appliance, we went through 3 of them in about 10 years in our vacation home (GE, Whirlpool). Finally got a KitchenAid which seems to work ok, although the ice maker is a problem. My absolute favorite, if you are going to splurge on anything, is a Subzero. My first lasted 27 years, and was still working fine in 2014 when we renovated our kitchen, but I wanted to start new, and bought a new Subzero.
Keep in mind that you do NOT have to match appliance brands. Select the brand and model that works best for you and your budget. Good luck with your renovation!
