Agur Blue Cheese, some fresh bread & a bottle of wine on a Friday after a long work week hit the spot....
Don't let the omelet prices turn you away. More than enough food and its good!
Cara SecristNovember 11, 2018I tried the house Ramen. It tasted burnt and otherwise flavorless. My hubby got a sandwich and soup and it was alright.
Randall StanhopeFebruary 18, 2014They will not let me in here. They say that I must leave, but I am so hungry. I need to eat, I say. No, they reply, voices barely escaping their raspy throats. You may not enter here. So I do not.
DeAnna SturtevantNovember 6, 2012Very tasty fries...normally dont like fries, but here they are fresh, seasoned and not salty
All the granola and Greek yogurt varieties one person could ever need! Great work, Gateway!
Ma! Meatloaf! In other words try the meatloaf.
The Pesto Chicken Pasta is ok. But becomes delicious with the feta and olives from the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus accoutrement.
- The cranberry walnut salad is amazing! One of the best salads ever.
- If you haven't, you must try the Cilantro Lime Chicken salad. Amazing.
Eggs benedict no ham add spinach is a weekly breakfast ritual! So good!
Del BoogsApril 18, 2011The last 2 visits to the cafe for takeout were disappointing. They undercooked my fish and chips- the fish was soggy and the batter was pale. Ordered 2 orders of Ramen next and it was way too salty.
Jeff KwiatekFebruary 19, 2012High prices, surly staff, decent selection. There will be no reason to come here once Whole Foods opens.
