“I came in for the first time with a friend shortly before Christmas and enjoyed a delicious lunch along with fantastic service. Although I am local, I can't believe I had never been here! I was also lucky enough to recently receive a gift card from my Daughter & Son in Law. I brought my hubby in today for his first time & he loved it as well. He had the bowl of French Onion Soup & Roast Beef sandwich. I had the Creamy Potato Soup and the Turkey Wrap. Both of our soups were hearty, full of flavor, and so savory. He enjoyed his Roast Beef on Rye with Horsey Sauce and my Turkey Wrap was so DELICIOUS 😋 The staff so very friendly & accommodating. The Cafe is decorated beautifully with lots of beautiful plants & decor. It's a perfect spot to take a little break from life with great meals, good people, and a perfect feeling of hometown comfort“

“Great place for icecream. Price is a little high at 6$ for a small but comparable to the area. Portion is generous, so makes up for it. Many flavors to choose from. There is a drive thru and picnic tables to sit and enjoy your treat. I give 4 stars because you will have to wait a while on a hot day. Minimal parking.“

“I have been a huge fan of Tossed for a while now. Their vegan wrap has been my go-to but it has just been replaced by their harvest cobb salad. It. Is. Amazing. It's the perfect combo of sweet, salty, tangy and crunch. I practically licked my bowl clean! I will have to stop myself from ordering this weekly! An added bonus is they always have friendly staff and great decor. highly recommend!“
