6 North Cafe made for a nice, lighter dinner Sunday night. A coworker of mine had been here and said he enjoyed it. he told me where it was, but I hadn't noticed it there. It's not that it is hidden, but it blends into the new strip center behind the CVS. All the storefronts look similar, with similar signage over the doors. So for my birthday, i got a mailer with restaurant coupons - including one from 6 North Cafe for 50% off my bill, up to $10. Sounded like a good reason to me to try them!
Place was nice enough, very clean, color scheme similar to St L Bread Co. Layout is pretty rectangular, though - efficient, but loses some atmosphere. There is a drive thru, though. Workers were pleasant. Nice variety in the menu. Family wound up ordering a BLT, 1/2 roast beef sandwich with pasta salad, and a 3 cheese pizza/flatbread. The order taker said the pizza would take about 7 minutes, and asked if we wanted all the food to come out with the pizza - showed some consideration for us, not a big thing, but nice. (We said to bring out the other food first, and let the pizza follow.) Food was brought to the table after just a few minutes, and the pizza actually followed almost immediately.
Food was all really tasty. BLT had thick cut, flavorful bacon, decent tomato slices, very crispy lettuce, a chipotle mayo for some nice spicy variety, and thickish toasted bread (but not too thick). Only negative was that there were really too many lettuce leafs. Made it thicker, but to no benefit. Also, it was iceberg lettuce - which, while nice and green, could be improved by perhaps adding romaine or other. Roast beef was nice and dark, good flavor. Decent amount of thin sliced red onion. some lettuce and tomato, and another spiced mayo spread - not chipotle, but more than just plain mayo. Pizza/flatbread was decent - good, not more or less. It did have a LOT of cheese, which I really like.
We were there at about 5:30 pm on a very hot Sunday, and there were only two guys getting iced coffees when we arrived. We were the only patrons inside during our whole stay after they left. Perhaps it was the time and the heat. There were two or three cars that came through the drive thru - so it's not like there was no other business. Don't know if they were coffee-only orders or also got food.
I really struggled with 3 star vs. 4 star rating. Ultimately, I can't yet give it 4 stars. I likd it quite a bit, but just not quite there.
There is a lot more to the place than what we ate, but I can only really comment on our food. It's a nice enough place. I liked the quality of our food quite a bit. Hope traffic is high enough for it to prosper.
