Great atmosphere, free WiFi, food is ok. Have tried the grilled cheese and would NOT recommend that for anyone. Otherwise, great service, great location.

Stopped in here for breakfast with a friend. We had already both had coffee so we did not have any drinks. However we both had breakfast. The food was a 10 out of 10. The breakfast bowl had fresh ingredients and was made with love. Bravo! Shop local!

This is a delightful little spot for coffee/tea, bakery items and pizza for lunch. It's on a corner of the Village at Winona Lake. Many of the customers are from Grace College. Local people are also welcome in a friendly atmosphere. In good weather there is outside seating too. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, did not have the best food experience. Today Wednesday, September 4th, my husband and I went to go eat breakfast, I got there hash browns tried them and the oil was rancid went back to explain to them. They were going to fix it, waited 15 minutes and no hash browns came out.

They cut down all their fun sandwiches to 3 generic ones, food is still really expensive - you also can't get bottled water to go, just a cup of water with no lid, which seems really unhelpful

A beautiful spot for a Saturday morning breakfast! We had breakfast sandwiches and omelette with very fresh ingredients. Service was quick and very friendly. Highly recommend!

Gracie is absolutely wonderful. I was having a very emotional conversation at the cafe and she ended up bringing me a pastry, telling me she’d seen that I seemed sad and wanted to help me feel better. She couldn’t have known but that act of kindness made an incredible difference and was so encouraging to me - what a beautiful heart to notice and want to do something about such a small detail like a customer being upset. I wanted to speak to a manager but none was available so I’m leaving this review. Gracie is a treasure.

Wanted to try the coffee after the new owners bought it… guess what, the coffee still tastes terrible (espresso specifically, still bitter and burnt). Their decaf tastes pretty good, but they didn’t have any today unfortunately. Also, their drinks are pretty expensive, but what are you gonna do about that, it’s 2024 after all…

I have been visiting Light Rail back before when it was called Park 1000. Since about April, the menu has changed and is extremely disappointing. You can no longer get their beloved apple butter grilled cheese, or farm veggie sandwich. Now all of their sandwich options are chicken salad, egg salad, and tuna salad. Could we at least get turkey and not something so mayo-heavy? All of their kitchen staff also appear to be high schoolers, which is not necessarily bad, but can be slightly off putting in regard to food preparation experience. The pizzas are the same quality which is great, but the menu changes are quite unfortunate. The service is notably better. I also got charged more for getting light (less) syrup in my drink? The lavender syrup is notably worse.

Stopped in for breakfast. Waited 40 minutes. When I told them I had to leave, they said they lost my ticket. They had lots of workers and no one ever checked on me. Terrible service! Total waste of my time!
