the cafe

my son and i stumbled upon this gem by accident on our way home from st.marys. from the moment you walk in they make you feel like family. this is a family owned cafe. jillian was our waitress (daughter of the owner )was so patient as my little josh ordered for himself. she even gave him crayons and a sketch book and of course he drew her a picture.

the food was delicious! i had the nutella banana crepe with a side of home fries. josh ordered from the kids menu and they wereniceenough to customize his eggs just the way he likes it. we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food and will be back to visit.

you are missing out if you haven’t tried this place!

fresh and great food -nicedecor and music - breakfast or lunch all day - would return - don't be discouraged by neighborhood - under an overpass- worth the stop

delicious spot with a cool style and ambience. outdoor seating is anicetouch for breakfast or lunch with friends or colleagues. i would recommend to anyone.

the soup was the highlight of my day. i work within walking distance of the café. i had the queen anne sandwich (benedictine+) and it was very nice. personally i thought it had maybe a little too much bacon on it for me, buy i also really love benedictine. with it i had the pasta salad and considering it was to go, it was a very full cup, considering its size about standard fare for pasta salad.
the highlight though was the tomato dill soup. it had just a little texture and the flavor was excellent. it wasniceand savory and just a little creamy. they sell soup by the quart for takeout and i'm pondering getting some to take home the next time i get something.
their order prep time was very quick. i placed my order once i got there during a packed lunch hour and it was perhaps 5 minutes from the time i placed my order to when they had it ready.
i found the pricing to be comparable to restaurants like mccallister's or jason's deli.
very pleasant experience, i look forward to returning and trying the hot brown or the french provencial.

glad it's close to the office. we go here for lunch regularly and they cater some of our events. first of all, the bean salad is amazing and we consistently get requests for the recipe. second, the sandwiches are well done, but nothing special. last, i rarely order a salad at a restaurant (waste of money to me), but i saw someone get the naturalist and had to try it. that salad is a work of art- it comes out looking beautiful. it has tons of fruit and it's what elaine would call a big salad. it was very tasty. and their bread is alwaysniceand fresh.

the bomb. i've tasted their restaurant menu and their catering menu. it's all good. amazing bean salad, roasted veggie sandwich, benedictine, pimento cheese, yada yada yada. it's all good. great atmosphere, and close to my office. they do no wrong.

cafe has aniceatmosphere chicken salad, breads, and deserts are good. the hash disappointed a little. needed something just could not put my finger on what. i'll stick to lunch food next time.
