Feels like you are out of town walking into a cafe when walking into this place. Offering homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, and deserts, this is a place my wife has come to and raved about since she was a kid. They have a boxed lunch special that is a great way to sample their offerings. The club was good along with the Reuben my wife got. The latte was a bit sugary but could ha e just been a one-time occurrence. Highly recommend checking it out. They also offer a gift ship with kitchen and food ingredients prepackaged up. This place gets really busy around lunch, so I recommend being there by 11:30am. Seats fill up fast too.

Food was good, cute place. Girls working had great customer service. Went downhill though when I was given my drink with lipstick around the rim of the glass. Then as we were finishing up the owner approached our table and lectured us about having put two tables together without asking. There were 5 of us that couldn't fit around a 4-seater and we thought nothing about moving two tables together in the very back. Apparently that is not allowed at this place. We were honestly taken aback because that is not something you think to ask permission for, but mostly because of how disgusted she acted that we did it. It was so strange! I struggle to wrap my mind around the owner being okay with treating her customers that way - in front of others even. Not okay! None of us will be returning.

Excellent small Café! My guest and I ordered the combo meal. After less than five minutes, we had warm, fresh food in front of us! If you have some free time and a craving for fresh authentic café food. Anastasia's Café is the place to go!

Everything here is amazing- from the staff ( who had smiles a mile wide and were some of the friendliest people I've met) to the food! I enjoyed the BLT with chips and pickle spear, and it was so good that I indulged in a cup of chicken velvet soup! DELICIOUS!- just like my grandmothers! Fresh baked bread was off the charts! And I still have a lemon berry bar to enjoy when my tummy has room! They have outdoor seating that was shaded this morning and plenty of parking! This is the perfect start to your day and the perfect Welcome to Fort Wayne! I highly recommend this business!

We had not planned on stopping here, but we’re so glad we did! We were actually just passing through the area and needed to find a restroom, but after taking a wrong turn and following the wrong road, we pulled into the parking lot to get our bearings and saw the words “CHEER BASKETS” on the brick exterior and decided on a whim to get some lunch. I had a club sandwich and my wife had a BLT, both of which were perfect and delicious. I added a strawberry Italian cream soda and a slice of butterscotch pie. Everything was awesome and the staff was very polite and friendly. This will be a new favorite stop on our way through in the future. The locals here have a gem to enjoy!
Lovely café with really good food and coffee at very affordable cost! The almond croissant was incredible!!!

Anastasia's Cafe is one of those delightful little places you hope you'll find when you're traveling. It's just far enough off the highway that it might be missed, but it's so good that it's worth the extra minute or two to drive past the fast food available right at the interchange. Heading east into town that extra mile or so will reward you well. The cafe opens early, providing baked goods as well as a variety of quiches and coffees as breakfast options. I think most anyone will be able to find a satisfying choice. However, the best is yet to be, because this place really shines when they're serving lunch. Anastasia offers a good selection of sandwich options, most (maybe all) on breads baked in-house, with a special highlighted every month. I've sampled several of their salads and enjoyed every one. The chicken salad is full of generously-sized white meat bites, not overly seasoned. All the veggies are consistently fresh and well presented. I've been here maybe 15 times and never had a disappointment. Yet that's not even the main element that keeps drawing me back. That big draw that keeps me coming back is the soup. These people know how to make great soup. I'm a soup lover who enjoys cooking and makes many varieties at home. Even so, I've had more than occasion at Anastasia's when I've told my companion, "I couldn't make this any better myself." In addition, the staff are always friendly and competent. The ambience in the cafe is truly pleasant. It's attractively decorated and always clean. There are many gift items offered in the shop, along with a selection of greeting cards. It is not a child-oriented cafe, but you could certainly be comfortable bringing children here. Because it is located in a small shopping plaza, parking is easy and convenient. I'm a fan for life, through and through. I think you will be, too.

Wonderful food! I had the chicken salad on honey berry wheat bread and pasta salad, both awesome!

Great service! Greek salad very good, the baked cookies are great, and I usually get the turkey on sliced wheatberry bread and it's always good with fresh bread, tomatoes and lettuce. There are tables for indoor eating, the atmosphere is relaxing.
