“I stopped into a neat little breakfast spot called El Café, and I was genuinely impressed. The lady who took my order was incredibly kind and professional. It’s refreshing to see a small shop take such care in preparing food. Everything was fresh and well-presented, and they even gave me hot water for my tea without me asking. Great service, cozy atmosphere—highly recommend!“

“We were in the neighborhood and looking for something different to eat and passed by this place. I am so glad that we stopped in! I had the Liberty which is a delicious country ham sandwich and my wife had the chicken salad croissant. Probably the best chicken salad we have had in a long time. The country ham sandwich did not disappoint either! We both had the home made potato chips. We will definitely go out of our way to eat here again and again!“

“My 5 week old was admitted for biliary atresia. Dr Rellinger, Martin, Dewberry did the procedure and so far all is well. It felt like we had seen so many people from the Doctors, Nurses, residents, pain management, GI, nutrition, etc and everyone was always helpful. Shout-out to the team of doctors who performed the procedure to help our girl, we are so grateful! The 4th floor nurses in the progressive care unit were amazing to us! Miroslava (heaven sent), Alan, Katie, Alivia, Ally, Kris, Amanda, are just a few who were wonderful! The cons of our experience were a couple ladies who when trying to store my Breastmilk were so rude! Telling the receptionist to tell me there was no room in their fridge (my bag was already there, it could hold more) to place my new milk. Stated that they shouldn't have to retrieve my milk ( more than happy to walk it there) and go to the cafeteria to put it in ice. I was told **Jesse** said it and a lady named Tammy was mentioned throughout. Doubt there was anything done after talking to a higher up and making a phone complaint. Last con was we were discharged and still needed the medicine for my daughter. The Retail Pharmacy took **3 HOURS** AFTER DISCHARGE to bring the medicine. All that was said was they were slammed.“

“A clean, bright and pleasant place for breakfast, lunch or a break for coffee. Lots of healthy opinions on the menu. One of the Panera chain and has a customer loyalty reward program. Some tables are outdoors. You can also order in advance for rapid pick-up.“

“Ginny and Noah are amazing. They were both so incredibly nice. Noah took my order and was so helpful and Ginny was soooooo friendly. My friend I was eating with needed another plate because her sandwich was really messy and she brought her another plate and even said she was willing to remake the sandwich if it was too messy. She brought her another plate, another sauce for her sandwich, and brought us a sample from the bakery. Both amazing humans and employees.“

“I had almost forgotten this good place to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Salads and soups for lunch. My favorite thing was that they have Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, a rarity in most restaurants. 😎❤️🇺🇸“

“Definitely will be back soon“
