I originally left them a great review for the first time we went and the pictures in this review are from them. However our most recent visit changed my opinion a bit.
I got the veggie omelette which came out to be a soggy mess. Because they’re so behind in the kitchen they didn’t actually cook the vegetables down enough which in turn left all their water in my omelette. The omelette itself and the home fries were very under seasoned, honestly probably not at all.
My wife got the Florentine Benedict. The Benedict itself was really good which is ironic considering that’s the most difficult one to cook I feel like. The salad it came with was old and wilted, the dressing was overpowering to the point where she couldn’t even eat it.
Service was okay our server was busy but I also couldn’t get a hold of him for a while. It also took quite a while to get our food and drinks. Coffee as well was very mediocre.
I’d love to give them another try because I was so wowed the first time, really hoping it was just a one off day. But just know you’ll be waiting for quite a bit to sit down and I think they’re still understaffed.

I had a great time at the Square Cafe!! My best friend and I stopped by for a quick coffee. It is more of a sit-down establishment but they still had a bar that we were sat at immediately for some drinks. The menu is amazing with so many different options that are creative to satisfy all taste pallets especially those who like complex and fun flavors. We ordered the pistachio mocha latte and the turtle latte which the waiter was so so so nice to split two larges in four cups so my friend and I could share equally. This service was AMAZING! We love both drinks and had so much fun trying new flavors and comparing them. We wish we could’ve stayed to try the juices, smoothies, and food but that just means we have to come back! The decorations we also so cool with bright colors and designs. LQBTQ+ friendly

My partner and I frequent this cafe for brunch often and we always get the best recommendations from the waiters! Nathan has been our server multiple times and we always end up trying something new and leaving full and happy :) would recommend!

We had good experiences here in the past but today they made us wait 40 minutes to get food. I ordered a burger with NOTHING on it but they put a Weird sauce on it, also had pancakes and asked for everything on it and guess what they didn’t put anything on it

Food was bangin. Atmosphere was on point. But a particular shout out to our waiter Nathan, who pulled the whole experience together with ease. His positive attitude and exceptional service was above and beyond. Thank you guys for the experience!

This has been the breakfast spot for me and my boyfriend every Friday! Food and drinks are always delicious! Nathan has been our server a few times now and he’s always very attentive and charming! I recommend this place :)

Always delicious, seasonal specialties that are worth trying but hard to commit to when I have so many established favorites that never disappoint! Highly recommend the white bean hash (current special menu item) delicious and perfect for this cold weather. Their lattes are wonderful but opted for their London Fog (Earl grey) and it was perfection! Staff are always wonderful and attentive, so cannot recommend more. Also pictured my usual fav, short rib eggs Benedict!

We ordered buttermilk pancake and corn beef Benedict, they are both very very delicious! Pancakes are huge ($4.5 per piece is not very expensive for the size).
I love the unlimited cold brew - most place doesn’t do it anymore.
The menu design is very good, it is very easy to understand and make decisions despite they have many items available. They have a bunch of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free stuff.
The service is very fast and friendly. We will come back.

The food is good but the hour wait for a table plus the hour wait for your food isn't worth the time investment.

Ive been here before and it was great! This review reflects my most recent visit.
The good:
The matcha lavender Latte and blueberry pancake were great 🥞
The bad:
The square breakfast is a miss, and should be taken off the menu. For a restaurant like this, there needs to be more value than what you are given. I received what seemed to be half an egg, some very dry potato cubes and plain sourdough bread with no jam on the table. The sausage links were fine, but overall this meal just does not belong on the menu, especially at the price point (around $15).
Please fix!

This pic below is a 16$ breakfast … everything that was good about this place is gone - moving to east liberty was the first mistake . Didn’t have the gluten free pancake I ordered … didn’t call to tell me or adjust the price … just game me 1 piece of gluten free toast … focus on customer service and satisfaction … this is not it smh

This place has great food choices, the best chicken Caesar wrap ever. When busy a little wait is needed but great and worth it.
