Arrived mid-afternoon on an Erie Canalway bike trip. I was the only one there for lunch. Responsive staff, excellent food. Reasonable portions, not enormous. Much better than the usual sandwich place.

We order out or stop by for lunch during the work week at least once a month, the whole team loves it.The best blackened chicken sandwich around and a great gluten free bun. Friendly team and a nice sit down space. This isn't fast food, so don't expect express delivery; good things come to those that wait.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, when in stock the bun is fantastic, sometimes they run out and only have a standard gf bread, which does...

We recently had Maria's Cafe & Catering provide food for 20 people for a rehersal dinner. The food was amazing, the staff was great and flexible, and there was sooo much food for the very reasonable price.
The bbq catering was delicious. Highly recommend!!
