Arrived twelve minutes before closing and just wanted two slices of coconut cake but they refused because they closed early. Now, it was already made cake, not hot food. We had eaten there earlier in the day, and decided we wanted some of the cake I had voted for repeatedly as being the best coconut cake in town on FB-for out of town guests who love coconut cake and twere leaving in the morning. The staff could have bean polite about it at lest

Wonderful food and laid-back atmosphere. Great sandwiches, pizza, salads, and soups. The cakes are made fresh in house. Also their tea is amazing. The staff are happy and helpful. They have a standard menu as well as chef specials so there's always something new to try!

This place has been one of my go-tos for years. The outdoor seating and special events back room are quiet. The food is really good (my fave is the buttermilk chicken salad) they have a range of craft beer and cocktails. The bucket of fries are the best I've ever had with their aioli. All the stars.
The food was scrummy! Mildred and New Deal are conjoint twin restaurants. This one tries for a hip yuppy vibe but could be cleaner - Mildred is table cloth, napkins and seniors. If seniors with oxygen tubes eat there, I will trust the safety of their food. A couple of different vegetarian options at New Deal but not so much at Mildred. The waitress also told us later that they could make many Of Mildred 's vegetarian. The pumpkin cheesecake was amazing, better than cheesecake factory. The coconut pineapple cake was okay. 8$ a slice for canned pineapples and not a layer of pineapple jam? Mch mch mch.

My teenage daughter and I went to New Deal on a "daddy date" for lunch. It was Friday and the place was hoppin' (the staff seemed a little stressed out). We thankfully got a seat pretty soon and the food was very good. She got the grilled pimento cheese and I got the buttermilk chicken salad, which was cooked well and pretty generous on the chicken. I wouldn't call New Deal Cafe fantastic but it's definitely a good option. We'll be back!

Alone arrival, I wasn’t offered whether I was dining in or takeout. It was assumed that I was taking my food to go. I ordered a medium rare burger and was given a well done burger. I wasn’t told about the 12% gratuity that was added to the bill regardless of if it’s to go, in dining, credit card or cash. The cashier assumed that didn’t want my change for my order. The gentleman that seemed to be in charge, he never introduced himself or his title to me was courtesy. The cafe is quaint. I am making an assumption that this is a one off, since this is the first time coming here.
