| - Greasy spoons step aside, there's a new spot in town, Hotspot Cafe! If your looking for a step up from your normal breakfast and lunch fare, you will be one happy camper when visiting Hotspot. First off, let's talk ambiance, the space is open with lots of natural light and plenty of seating, a party of 4 or 14 can easily be accommodated in the large space. I even noticed that they have what looks like a meeting/banquet type room in the back that can be closed off for top secret meetings and the like ;) The hostess was friendly and welcoming and took me right to my dining companion that was waiting for me at the table already. The great service continued with out server who was attentive, friendly and prompt.
As I've mentioned in previous reviews, if you have Tang on your menu, you're alright in my book! This delicious orange beverage can be enjoyed here and hopefully will spark a city-wide trend on getting this on menus all over town. So on to the food, the breakfast menu looks amazing, I was toying with the idea of getting the pancakes for lunch but opted for the soup/sandwich combo. I enjoyed the veggie soup and the salmon BLT which was unbelievable! My dining companion enjoyed the triple cheese burger and soup which looked equally delicious. I really like the fact that the offerings are a bit more gourmet, I had a really hard time choosing something because everything sounded super tasty. This is definitely not your $5 lunch spot but as they say, you get what you pay for and here it is freshness, ambiance, great service and an interesting array of menu choices.
The booths in the middle are all equipped with charging stations and there is free wifi throughout which makes it a great place for business lunches. I will definitely be back to slowly work my way through both the breakfast and lunch menus!
