tomato pie cafe

my friend and i went here on a tuesday afternoon around 1. i was surprised by how busy it was the entire time we were there, considering it was after typical lunch time. regardless, thefoodwas so delicious! i got the quiche (it was 4 cheese) with the parmesan grit cake, and although i can't remember the name of her food, it was also delicious. i'll definitely be back!

latest update, 8/17/16:

back to usual form, thankfully - really terrificfoodand coffee drinks (try the cold brew with milk & honey - amazing). standouts: zucchini benedict, ham & egg panini, western wrap, salmon bagel, and in-season peach-ginger stuffed french toast. really delicious. service was better, too - not overly attentive, but decent. don't forget that, depending on the day, you can enjoy the outdoor patio seating or eat in the lovely upstairs of the house.

usually love this place. today: rudeness, incompetence, and cold food. the
server (he also seems to be the manager, amazingly) and hostess were unapologetic about forgetting service, not providing basics like refills on drinks and condiments, and were unfailingly rude. there was certainly no way to address problems with the entrees! will probably return, given the quality of food, but not if this ever repeats.

unbelievable tastes!. ate at tomato pie tonight for the first time. amazing food! we had the tomato pie and the fig arugula goat cheese flatbread. delicious! service was great, too. not just good--g r e a t! our waitress was fantastic (she wore a funky white fedora).

so why only 4 stars? some muscle-bound lunkhead was hanging out talking to the waitresses, and the whiff of conversation i heard was inappropriate for such a classy place. i had to wait several minutes for three waitresses to notice me standing six feet away while they talked to him and blocked the path of the other two waitresses who were actually working. as a result, a waitress carryingfoodwas bumped by one of the lazy ones andfoodwent everywhere.

to the owner of tomato pie--get your waitstaff in order. the lazy ones are making the place look bad. throw steroid stephen out the door and axe the lazy girls. the hardworking waitresses deserve better. your restaurant is just too darn good to be spoiled by these unnecessary bodies.

this is my new favorite place! it has an artsy vibe, friendly service and best of all, fantastic food. they serve unique dishes and everything i tried was delicious. i got the chicken pesto panini with greens which was great. my mom got the tomato pie and i got a bad case offoodenvy. before i had a bite of hers, i didn't like tomatoes. i do now, and i spent the rest of the day craving it. oh and the coffee...amazing. i had one of their feature drinks for february, a white chocolate lavender mocha. it was the best cup of coffee i have ever had in my life. and i drink a lot of coffee. i really hope they still have it on the menu next time i'm there. i saw so many things i wanted to try on the menu, i can't wait to go back! oh and they also have some awesome-looking bakery items. so excited to have found this gem.
