Solid lunch spot. Quick with good options and reasonably priced overall. Got the grilled chicken chipotle sandwich which had great chicken, jalapeños, and sauce.

I adore this place. They always have the freshest foods. The staff is very friendly and I love their new location. This place is the only thing that gives me strength to go into work in

One of the best Italian sandwiches I’ve ever had. The kale cranberry salad as a side was delicious. And the cake!!!!

Went here for lunch one day and wasn't impressed. I got a chicken cutlet and it was ice cold. I'm not sure if the compartment the chicken was in wasn't warming anything up or if the employee needed to heat the chicken up before serving it, but it was topped with a pico like situation and made it so cold and not edible. The service was fast though.

Fast casual vibes with high quality, homemade taste. Everything tastes fresh and the daily specials are actually often great deals. Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options as well, and staff are very willing to make adjustments to anything.Staff are very friendly and patient, though service can be a bit slow during the lunch rush.

Came on a weekday lunch. This spot is perfect for grab and go. Everything I've had has been fresh and hit the spot, so definitely recommend! It's buffet style so very quick. It's slightly noisy in there so good for casual settings. The owners are awesome and super friendly so glad we get to support small business owners!

Back again! Great place ! Been wanting the spanakopita for months!! Best there is ! They used to be in more upscale place, but building was sold. Then Covid. They do major catering . Lucky for us, they do lunch. And, their sides are spot on. Delicious.

Very good food. Served by excellent humans. You could eat here Monday thru Friday, not have the same thing, and it would be excellent every time.

This place is a great lunch spot, freshly made foods with thought and care. Lots of different options. The shrimp and chorizo, the beet salad and the Caesar salad were delicious.

I recently discovered this place recently and checked the reviews before I went this week. It’s totally worth the reviews they’ve been given. I like that cafeteria style set up that they have. I’m still giving them a five even though I didn’t particularly care for the spankopita that I got. It was tasty but it was just too oily to finish. The bottom side of it was oily and then oil had pooled in the bottom of my to-go container when I got home. It tasted ok but the spinach was kind of stringy … it had a good taste of feta though. I got it with a cavatapi macaroni salad (mayo based) and fruit salad. Both of those, I loved. The fruit was diced pretty finely which I actually liked that way. I want to try again but I think that I’d be tempted to go right when they open since it’s all prepared at the same time cafeteria style unless you’re ordering a sandwhich maybe. I’d have to check…That being said, it’s nice and well kept with cute decor despite it being in a kind of run down strip mall that’s kind of standard in that particular area. They used to be in another area further up on 55 but I’m not sure when they moved to where they are at.I’m excited to try it another time how I said but even if that doesn’t work, I’d go back just to order their pasta salads and other fresh sides!

This little café was so good. My boyfriend got the burrito special with a side of rice and Caesar salad. I got the Spanakopita with pesto pasta salad and Caesar salad. It was really delicious. My favorite was the burrito if they have a burrito special, I would highly recommend it. There is a lot of food that is already prepared so if you’re in a rush this is a great place to eat. We got there right at 11am right before the lunch rush. The service was excellent they told us about what was in the food and even offered to bring a high chair over to the table for our son. The lemon water was a great touch. I love flavored water. This is right near my boyfriends job so we will be back soon.Vegetarian options: The Spanakopita was vegetarian and there were a few vegetarian options on the menu.Kid-friendliness: Has high chairs

Ordered the Sicilian sandwich with a side of bowtie pesto.The capicola on the sandwich was so tough I had to pull it off. It needs to be way thinner and/or tender. Otherwise, the sandwich is designed and built well.The bowtie pesto had the pesto flavor, but overall was very dry with a gritty-like texture. Juice it up!Nice looking cafe and friendly staff.

Cafe Meridian is the perfect place for lunch. The owners & staff are some of the kindest, most generous people, and their food is top-notch with reasonable prices. It’s easy to order online, or stop in for a to-go order. My favorites are their chicken burrito (on Thursdays) and the mango chicken! It’s become a staple amongst my coworkers, and there are definitely weeks where I’m here two or three times! It’s worth the stop if you’re in the area.
