Glen Forest Cafe

Fantastic food!! I stumbled upon this place on GoogleMaps and very glad I did. I had the Trini bowl and my wife had the club. Extremely generous portions for pretty much the same price you'd pay at a chain lunch place. We also got bottled drinks and cookies. Taste was amazing!!! The new owner is a chef from Trinidad and chatted with us while she made our orders. The only reason I didn't rate atmosphere at a 5 is that they only have a couple little tables, but this place is as advertised, a take-out spot. Don't be put off by the lack of fancy signage - they are a little cafe in an office building. The food quality makes up for any lack of fancy decor. Plus you'll be supporting a local business!!

Today was opening day under new ownership. Great little family owned cafe in a business park for breakfast and lunch! Friendly quick service. I had the Cubano Sandwich. It was the perfect combination of juicy meat with just the right mix of spicy and tang with crunchy pickles, and cheese. It was so good I had eaten half before thinking about taking a picture!

Very clean, staff is welcoming. I got a Rueben on beautiful marbled rye that I found was also locally sourced. Love supporting small business!

The quality of food is great and everyone is so friendly!

This is a cool little spot tucked away in an industrial shopping center. Great service, a quiet place to eat in or on the go. I'm glad to know this is here when everything else is closed or super busy in the morning.

Very nice little cafe hidden among the office buildings. Good food and a good price. Call ahead or time your visit to avoid the lunch rush.

How lucky I am to work in delivery distance! The soups are delicious, salads always fresh and the grilled cheese......(I get mine on sourdough), yum! Great prices as well!

It's a small simple place with a good heart in the middle of an office park. Simple classic breakfast and lunch diner style options with good variety. Small staff and seating area, and speed and quality of service is heavily influenced by customer volume and takeout orders - from noon to 1:00 can be slammed. The food is solid but not good enough to merit a 30 minute wait, so call and order in advance. If they don't pick up they're already stretched that day and I'd advise looking elsewhere. If you are looking for a spotlessly clean, sophisticated eating venue prepare to be very disappointed - 5 stars because this place knows exactly what it is and does just fine with it.

To begin, you walk into the kitchen when you walk into this establishment. Second, the small cafe holds only about 4 people (more possibly depending on the height and girth of individuals in line). Third the soap in the dispenser looks like it is 43 years old. It has separated and into layers like milk water and oil. It also looks like it has grown mold if that is even possible. Fourth the tv is about 12 inches in diameter and could have cost no more than $20.13 at the weigmans. Fifth the person taking the orders answers the phone and leaves it on the counter and tells the person to hold and never goes back to it. Sixth the cashier doesn't know the menu or how addition works. He also asks the customer where the Klondike bars are. One other thing, as I was paying the cashier looks at me and asked my opinion on what $3.15 x 2 was. I asked him extremely politely to type it into his cash register and it would display the answer. He also did not know any items on the menu and was quite rude when asking to pay. The floors were covered in filth and the cooler did not work so all drinks were room temperature. Overall it's like trying to eat a half cooked sandwich from a Coleman camp stove while packed into a non air conditioned New York subway car while babysitting your Korean neighbor's kids that you were obligated to watch because they house sat for you last July while you and your wife went to Key West for a week on the strip. In conclusion this place should take a long walk off a short pier and do everyone a favor and sell out to a Stuckey's.
