| - The only reason I go to cafe 1845 is because I work in the same building and it's convenient. However, The food is mediocre at best on a good day. Most of their business comes from the PNC building probably for the same reasons. It's convenient and it's something to eat. That's really about it! Sadly they really lack in everything else. Not one thing I have ever gotten there has really wow'd me. The employees dress like professional chefs, but be advised that they are not even close. Let's start with the pizza, again for 3 dollars a slice, you can get much better pizza elsewhere downtown for even cheaper. The pizza crust is horrible, sauce is not great and some of the specialty pizzas they come up with just simply do not work. The homemade potato chips are WAY over cooked to the point that they just are not good at all, which is a shame because the seasoning they put on them isn't bad. The rest of their food is either too salty or no taste at all. When people voice their concerns about the food, they are told that many customers like their food the way they make it, and they refuse to change anything. I know quite a few people who have complained about the pizza crust and the burnt chips. But nothing changes. The management has their head in the sand and only seems to listen to the select few that actually like it. When I inquired about the burnt homemade potato chips, I was told that many of their customers like them that way, which I believe to be simply false. Because there isn't anybody that I know that likes burnt potato chips. There's a reason why no other restaurants serve burnt chips, that's because they aren't good! Cafe 1845 really needs to start listening to their customers if they want to keep in business. If the pnc building were to close down, cafe 1845 would go right along with it, because the only reason why they get decent business is because it's convenient for the people in the building, it's food to put in your stomach to last you till dinner. That's all! If you want a good tasting lunch, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
