About Café Standard

Café Standard offers an engaging atmosphere with an '80s speakeasy feel. The drinks are top-notch, and the vibe shifts smoothly from laid-back to energetic, making the overall experience enjoyable. The interior is eclectic and beautiful, giving a European Café-like charm. The menu may vary, with some items like the Mushroom Terrene sometimes unavailable. The Gnocchi was well-cooked but small in portion, and the Café Burger was pricey but came with plenty of fries. The Classic Caesar salad was well-dressed, and the sorbets served as a good palate cleanser. The avocado toast received praise for its taste, and the service was generally excellent, with attentive staff checking in on guests. However, some diners found it hard to catch the waitstaff’s attention at times. House cookies were a bit disappointing, but the food overall was very good, including a great BLT with a flavorful aioli and a side salad with generous portions. The oysters were fresh and tasty, and the loaded spuds with cream sauce and fried onions were a hit. The ricotta pancakes for brunch were light and fluffy, served with a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and the iced coffee was strong and refreshing. The lively ambiance adds to the charm, making this a reliable spot for casual brunch, work meetings, or just relaxing with friends. Despite some menu ups and downs, the accommodating staff makes dining a pleasant experience, especially for those with allergies. Great cocktails, delicious food, and a long happy hour make Café Standard a place worth revisiting.
