“While I love the home made bread, soup and salads. My name was called so quietly that by the time I looked to see if it was ready my soup was cold. It was already very quite inside. So I guess make employees call orders louder and it'd be perfect. Still we eat my soup and bread when I can from here.“

Sawgrass Marketplace Cafe •
1505 S Calumet Rd, Chesterton - 6.91 miles

“My husband and I have been going to Sawgrass for the past 2 years. We have eaten at Tiger Lily Local Flavors Cafe several times and have always enjoyed our meal. Our favorite stop is visiting Phoebe Plomaritus and her there family members at their Sawgrass store, From My Garden. They sell produce and farm-raised meats from their Kouts farm out of this storefront. They have been committed to sustainable farming practices since the 1960's. I have learned much from my interactions with them. We are not vegetarians, but rather "intentional meat purchasers". When I buy meat these days I try to buy it from local sources that are antibiotic-free, hormone-free, free range and grass fed. This place is my favorite. Note: days of operation are limited; it may be a good idea to call ahead to make sure they're open.“

The drinks were very well made and Jordan asked if we would like the banana bread we bought warmed up. Such nice personal touches in the coffee shop. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended if you are ever in the area.“

“Would love to recognize the outstanding customer service I received tonight. Amanda at customer service helped me every step of the way returning my damaged deep freezer. She had a little 5 year pendant on her name tag if that helps identify her! She took extra steps outside of her job description to ensure I left the club satisfied and happy with my return and repurchase! Thank you so much Amanda!“

“I went in for carry out and was greeted immediately. Granted its a slower night but Tony was super professional and even jumped in to get my food going. I happened to notice the manager and flagged to tell him how great his staff was, clean the place is, and how we were looking forward to our meal. Turned out his name was Tony and he was going around making sure the lights were perfect, the orders were right and guests were greeted. Truly refreshing to see people taking such pride and enjoyment out of their job and serving great quality. A new favorite place for us to go and the price is exceptional for the great quality and tasty food. Check it out!“
