I'm yet to place a pickup order from this place and have the items match the description in the menu. Sandwiches missing ingredients, paninis not grilled/pressed (which makes it not a panini). I ordered a hot dog today that was supposed to come with sauerkraut, coleslaw, pickles and French fries (according to the menu description) and just got a plain hot dog in a bun...
Food always tastes fine to good, but would love to actually get the thing I ordered, if even just once.

Edit to add: It's great that the owner wants to be responsive to reviews and reaches out to people to try to fix issues, but there is nothing to be done to "fix" issues of accuracy in past orders. I'm not concerned about getting some cash back, or getting credits for future orders. I have limited time on my lunch breaks and the Point Cafe is just the most convenient place for me to grab lunch on my lunch break. I don't have time during my lunch break to get to my destination, check my food for accuracy, call the restaurant for a correction, go back there, and then go back to my destination and eat.

The only way to "fix" the issue, in my opinion, is to make sure the staff are appropriately trained, make sure all variations of the menu (online, in cafe, etc.) are accurate and match, and to have all the necessary ingredients in stock to make the items according to the menu descriptions. I guess we'll see if they can get that together or not.

A delicious trip back to a time where prices were reasonable... and the hash browns are best I've come across in the capital district.

I came for the stuffed French toast, but it turns out it's actually just a chunk of cream cheese from the fridge, not melted or whipped or anything, no no, put in between 2 pieces of regular French toast. That is their definition of stuffed. I was so disappointed, but it wasn't my servers fault. This is on the menu, so I just ate, tipped, and left.

Excellent breakfast! I had the corned beef hash with 2 poached eggs (with cheese) and my husband had the chicken and waffles. While I wasn’t impressed with the presentation of my meal (wasn’t sure about the slices of cheese), I was surprised by the quality once I started eating! They have an amazing homemade salsa verde that you have to try if you can handle a little spice. The atmosphere is like a typical diner. No frills, good service, great food!

Small local cute diner. Fun music playing in the background. Very polite waitress. Good regular diner food... That waffle with the whipped cream though was so nicely plated. My friend couldn't stop talking about it and eating it! Going back to try mexican food ? they have a kids menu too ?
