Universal Cafe & Bar Reviews
quick service, good food, friendly service persons
We love Universal Cafe. We've been going regularly for years, and feel so fortunate to live within walking distance so that it is easy for us to keep going. In recent years, they've seen our children grow up and are always so accommodating to our needs. The food is always great and their wine selection also really good. We've brought along many visitors over the years and they've always highly approved of the place.
