Once you find the item you love here, you'll love this cafe. Getting to that point takes a few wrong orders. But I can officially say I love this cafe and it's a staple in my work day lunch routine. Their tomato soups are great. I like the Tomato Coconut as well as the regular Tomato Bisque. Portions are good and filling. The seed crackers are better than the generic oyster crackers, and they'll give the seed crackers if you ask for them.
I've had the sandwich of the month, PIMENTO CHEESE, FRIED GREEN TOMATOES & BACON on SOURDOUGH and it was decadent and delicious. The blue plate special EGGPLANT PARMESAN was also a total winner. I wish it were available more often. Although it is not calorie conscious, so it's probably better that it's a special.
I have not been wowed by the cold sandwiches in the refrigerated section. And the service can sometimes be a little offputting. I occasionally feel like I'm annoying the cashier by placing an order. But after becoming a very repeated customer, I get that attitude less.
This is one of my favorite healthy-ish lunch stops in uptown. As long as I don't get sidetracked by their desserts. Which also are amazing. All of them. Every cake, every cookie, brownie that I've tried has been great.
