What a pleasant stop for a breakfast sandwich. The bacon was perfect. The sandwich was delicious. The people are so friendly. If it were a little later in the day. I'd have probably ordered the bulgogi sub.
A wonderful couple runs this place. They greet every customer as if they are special. It’s the type of place where they know their regulars’ orders and greet them like old friends. Fantastic small business.
Literally the best pancakes I ever had, and I've been around! Great atmosphere, great prices. Whenever I go to the VA I am sure to stop by. The Korean food is amazing, everything top notch.

Cafe On the Square is a hidden gem with a huge menu offering delicious sandwiches like the California Chicken Salad. The owner, present since 1992, provides friendly service and fresh, tasty food at reasonable prices. The cafe is a local favorite known for excellent customer service, fast service, and a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of New York. Many customers claim it is the best breakfast and lunch spot in the city, with perfectly prepared food and a menu that has exactly what they want. The prices are very low for the quality of the food, and the deli selection is always fresh. Portions are generous, and the vibe is low key, making guests feel like family. The proprietor and her son run the place themselves every day, showcasing small business dedication and effort. An absolute gem of an eatery—visiting is highly recommended.
While the atmosphere inside might not be very special, visitors appreciate the friendly staff and good prices. Some customers enjoy a quick breakfast, like a sausage burrito or a veggie wrap, which is tasty and filling, though it can fall apart easily for eating on the go. The coffee is primarily drip and described as mediocre but acceptable, with quick friendly service. The location is perfect for enjoying a meal in the park next door, offering a relaxed spot to unwind. The cafe is wheelchair accessible with a ramp at the main door. Overall, it is a great place to enjoy a meal with friendly service, a cozy vibe, and a variety of drink options at reasonable prices.
