My favorite lunch place in Door County. The food is so fresh and creative. Healthy choices with flair. Could eat here every day.

We (2) entered the cafe about 11:45 and were seated immediately. Our server turned up about 12:15 to take our drinks order. He eventually brought our drinks and took our food orders, which were a salad and a quinoa bowl. It took another good thirty minutes before our food showed up. Meantime, other diners who came in after us had their drinks before we even got to order ours and had their food before ours was ordered. Taking well over an hour to be served food that didn't even have to be cooked (all cold ingredients) in a cafe at lunch time is unacceptable. Follow-up: Adriana had offered us a full refund. In addition she has offered a free lunch should we ever be in Sturgeon Bay again. For that reason I have increased my rating. Update: I have received a refund as well as an unexpected donation to my favourite charity, which is much more than I expected, so I have increased my overall rating to five stars.

Awesome food. A variety of food to choose from. If you are looking for a healthier place to eat…this is the place. Owner is fantastic!

Great spot, Adriana the chef made me the most delicious vegan reuben sandwich with tasty fries. She was so lovey
Serban Was extremely professional and friendly and their customer service is just outstanding. We are so impressed

Really would give 2.5 stars. My biggest complaint would be pricing points, $18 burger pay extra $3 for fries (vs kettle chips that looked and tasted like lays kettle chips or a side salad) $3 non alcoholic fountain beverage. Standard service nothing was great when you are paying more than most places. Looks to have great options for vegans/vegetarians. So for $24 for burger/fries/soda I expect great not just good.

**Poor Service and Lack of Empathy**
This has been a favorite of ours. But today was another story. Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience, especially when it came to accommodating the needs of an elderly person in my party.
From the moment we sat down, the server seemed indifferent to our requests. They were out of a number of items we attempted to order. We asked if they could substitute the bread on a sandwich with a softer option, as it was for an elderly guest who struggles with chewing. Instead of understanding and helping, the kitchen was dismissive and refused to make the simple substitution.
The only other suitable item on the menu was a children's meal. We were told by the server this was not allowed but after pushing she made the exception so I ordered 2 children's meals in hopes of 1 meal working out.
The food arrived for me, and only the PBJ sandwich. Then we had to wait an extra 10 minutes for her Grilled Cheese to arrive. It was frustrating and felt like her needs were completely overlooked.
Also, I was charged the price of an adult meal for a grilled cheese with all items removed and no sides included and also charged an additional $4 to add avocado. So in essence I paid $26 for a grilled cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwich there were not edible.
This experience was deeply disappointing, and the lack of compassion and basic customer service was unacceptable. We won’t be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who has specific needs.

Loved the atmosphere on the patio. Ally, our server, was super friendly, efficient, and made good suggestions. The Tofu Bahn mi sandwich was delicious!
Vegetarian options: Tofu Banh mi was excellent! A little spicy with a few jalapeños. I’m not able to tolerate too much spice, but this level perfect for me

This is a wonderful eatery, highly recommended. Most staff are friendly, our last visit we had someone who seemed rather bitter, but overall that did not detract from the delicious food and generally friendly vibe. Will happily return and hopefully get a different server.

Great food. Reasonably fast, even at one of the busier hours of the week and season. A little pricey. Good vegetarian options.
Vegetarian options: The cauliflower steak sandwich was excellent. Plenty of other options, including a home made veggie burger and kids menu.

Perfect crowd pleaser offering sandwiches, wraps, burgers, soups & salads. Small kids menu also available. Amazing staff, kid friendly and great food. No problem being a larger group. They kindly moved two tables together and sat us even with a few on their way walking over. Small outdoor table seating or indoor which is primarily table seating and s few booths. Activity book & crayons brought for the kids. The food was delicious. Pictured is the curry chicken salad. Foods are marked if GF, vegetarian or vegan. Two bathrooms available that were clean. No diaper changing table though. Street parking or a lot on the opposite corner.
Vegetarian options: Clearly marked in the menu
Dietary restrictions: GF, vegetarian and vegan options available. GF bread offered at an extra cost. Fish fry was marked as GF which is surprising!
Parking: Street or lot parking available
Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available and activity books brought to the table
We were quite disappointed. The food was nicely plated and prepared very nicely, but was woefully short of flavor. The fries weren't seasoned, the tacos had no kick, the veggie wrap was bland and the fish and chips were bland and served with potato chips (when it should've been served with fries!). Service was efficient and polite and the location and decor nice. But, the food was a bore and not at all worth the money.
Not recommended.

Stopped for a late lunch at the Blue Front Cafe. Seated fast even though a busy day. It was Walleye Friday and the pan fried walleye sandwich was really good!
