I live nearby and wanted to try a local place to eat for lunch.
This Cafe is located at the corner of Jones and Russell in a small mini-mall next to a Wing Stop.
It has a very homey, cozy vibe interior with industrial
type edison bulb lighting, rustic Midwest vintage decor with a splash of Star Wars memorabilia (the owner loves Star Wars), comfortable seating on weathered couches or tables and chairs, and a chalkboard menu.
The menu leans heavily on teas, coffees, shakes, and hot and cold lattes.
In addition there is a selection of sandwich options and fresh baked treats available.
You order at the counter, pay, and wait for your name to be called.
I ordered the Turkey Pesto sandwich. It comes with potato chips and served in a clear square to-go container. It was $11.50.
Given that it's a local place and the price level of restaurant food, this was about what I expected but was expecting it to be served on a plate rather than a to-go container with a side of more than store-bought Ruffles potato chips (my only slight criticisms).
The warm, toasted sandwich was what I had hoped. A tasty blend of pesto, fresh greens, sun-dried tomatoes, and turkey breast on delicious panini-pressed toasted hearty fresh bread.
It was a healthy portion and tasted delicious.
I didn't try any of their drinks or baked goods, but I will on future visits (of which there will be.)
I really enjoyed my sandwich far better than any chain options available within the area.
Also the service was cheerful, friendly, and helpful.
I definitely think it's worth giving this cute, cozy neighborhood place a try.
