| - Surprisingly good for a kosher restaurant, especially for one that is not a deli.
Mozart Cafe is a dairy restaurant, meaning that no meat or meat products of any kind are used. This is necessitated by their being kosher, which does not allow the mixing of meat and dairy products. If you are a devoted vegetarian, you can be absolutely certain that there is nothing that was ever in an animal used by Cafe Mozart, assured by the strictest Rabbinic supervision.
On the other hand, if you are a carnivore and insist on meat protein, you will have to try somewhere else. Absent that, just about everyone should enjoy what Mozart Cafe has to offer.
For a small storefront, the menu is extensive. The Ciabatta bread used for the paninis is excellent, and the combination of flavors that Mozart Cafe achieves with no meat and little cheese is almost miraculous. I haven't tried everything else, but the other sandwiches and salads look really good, and all of the other diners were cleaning their plates. There is also a breakfast menu.
The downsides have nothing to do with the food. For starters, Mozart Cafe is very basic so forget ambiance. But it is clean and bright, and the tables are not crowded together past reason. The service is extremely warm but sometimes you can wait a bit. And, of course, there is no meat. I would also say that it is a tad expensive -- kosher restaurants usually are, but that is because kosher meat is expensive, and the Mozart Cafe doesn't use any. They also cannot open on Friday night or Saturday, so they have to make up for it by charging more. Whatever the reason, a sandwich here will cost you about $10.
They also have an instore bakery with traditional Jewish cookies and breads. I tried two varieties, both very good. These too are a bit expensive.
