“Cafe McColl is a delightful, business casual dining establishment where friends are family and family means olive garden. Tourists and locals alike flock to Cafe McColl, or "La Comida Grande", in search of coffee, food, or maybe just a smiling face. There are many options to choose from - Cafe McColl offers an international pantheon of exquisite and fairly priced meals for even the most discerning of palettes. Might this reviewer suggest the daringly authentic 'Kung Pao Chicken' or the whimsical and exotic "Cheese Quesadilla". If these sound intimidating to the reader, the cafe also offers bagels, a salad bar, and their lunch-time special, claustrophobia.“

“Came in right when they opened. Place was cleaned, lady was nice, available items are ok if you’re just looking for something to eat and not spend too much at the local food truck or going out. They have cold sandwiches as well as some hot items. Deserts, snacks, drinks, salads, etc. I purchased at the food truck before coming in here to eat, and should have came in here first. So, try for yourself first before going off someone else’s experience reviews. Specially when they’re negative comments.“

“My husband and I threw a last-minute, surprise wedding disguised as an engagement party on the unseasonably frigid Friday after Thanksgiving 2025. Honeysuckle Tea House went above and beyond in accommodating our scheme, our many, many dietary restrictions, the short-time frame, and all the warmth we would require to make the wedding everything we dreamt of. And so it was!! Such a magical day!! We are so fortunate to have had our wedding here.“
