Service is quick. The grab and go salads are phenomenal. Variety of beverages in their fridge, everything from juices, seltzers, protein shakes, teas low calorie options. Be sure to check out their specials and soups. Had the chicken and vegs soup because i was under the weather and it was like a home styled chicken noodle soup (without noodles). Great low calorie option. They had a special on chicken marsala and it was soooo good.
They have a large menu to chose from...

I am a local small business in the area and enjoy coming to their family owned cafe often!

They have a variety of food options and they help make customizations too that fit what you’re looking for that day!😀

Great food and great interactions with the owners 👍

This is a place you literally want to skip cooking for. The owners are personable, serve quickly and best of all the food is fresh and delicious!
I love Why Cook and look forward to my work lunches when I am here on local🫶🏻
