| - So I've only been to Square Cafe once...and maybe I had a bad experience or just chose the wrong items, but I doubt I'm gonna be heading back ever again. I am NOT snobby about my food...especially breakfast food (if you give me decently cooked bacon & eggs, I'm a happy camper), but this food was severely lacking.
I ordered the Fennel Sausage & Ricotta Frittata, which was clearly not cooked to order. It was rubbery and lukewarm. It looked like it was cooked the day before, sliced up into individual orders, and heated in a microwave. The WORST part, however, was the "side" it came with....a pile of lettuce (described as "mixed greens" on the menu). Seriously, just a pile of lettuce. No dressing...no additional veggies...nothing but a pile of lettuce. A guy next to me ordered the "Chickpea & Tofu Hash", who seemed like the type of person that might enjoy eating a pile of nondescript lettuce...but no, he just pushed that crap to the edge of the plate (like a kid who's trying to fool his parents into thinking he ate some of his veggies). I mean, c'mon!!! I just paid $9.50 for a slice of day old frittata and a pile of lettuce?!?!
My boyfriend had the the Leek, Pancetta, and Mozzarella Omelet, which was OK enough. It at least came with homefries (and not the lettuce), but they looked like they were heated from a frozen bag...nothing special, and definitely not worth the $9.50 price.
The coffee and service were good (only reason why I give 2 stars). Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. Maybe if I were vegeterian/vegan, I'd love this place. I just do not understand why people wait here for hours on the weekends to overpay for subpar breakfast food. I'd much rather wait in line at Pamelas and pay less!!
