| - We wanted to find someplace new for a bite of lunch out that would be affordable. After looking through nearby places on Yelp I noticed Cafe 100. The menu looked good, the prices seemed reasonable and it was close by...all the perfect makings for an impromptu afternoon meal.
I will say that parking is a bit confusing at first, since there is no lot visible from Huntersville-Concord Road. We ended up turning down 115 and found a lot there that ended up behind Cafe 100. The place is pretty small, and looks like it used to be an old home. The interior is pretty cramped, yet very homey and feels like a good 'ol place. Seating is a bit more spacious outside (and there was some live music out there at the time) but it was a bit too chilly for us. Despite the crowd there was a table for two available, and the guy at the door told us where it was and we went off to seat ourselves.
The menu makes for some great lunch eats, with a selection of sandwiches, wraps, paninis and salads...most for under $9 a person. Breakfast was also available at 12:30 on a Saturday and had a huge selection such as eggs, french toast and waffles.
I went with the Asian Chicken Wrap ($8.50) that had grilled chicken, lettuce, mandarin oranges and crispy noodles in it with a sesame dressing. The veggies were fresh and I liked the components that the orange brought to the wrap. Also, this thing was huge and I definitely couldn't finish the whole thing. For a side I got fruit salad and it was pretty darn good, with fresh cantalope, honey dew and strawberries.
The missus went the breakfast route and got the Whole Wheat Waffle ($8.) This thing was one GIGANTIC waffle and came with butter, syrup and fruit. The waffle was the perfect consistency with a crisp outside and warm inside.
Despite how busy the place was service was pretty quick. They had an awesome looking dessert menu but we were so stuffed we couldn't even think about it. The waitress had brought over the bill and you pay at the bar area on your way out. The diverse menu makes it the perfect breakfast/lunch/brunch place, and we will definitely be going back in the future!
