This is a phenomenal, hole-in-the-wall cafe that reminds me of New York! The owner is very friendly and has been here since 1992. The food is fresh, tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. We were shown excellent customer service and attention. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Don’t skip on this cafe on your stroll through the city. Placed on the corner, near where most students live, is this delicious cafe with the nicest group of employees. These sandwiches will definitely fill your stomach without denting your wallet
This place is excellent! I love exploring a new city and finding great food. You know you've found a good spot when a steady number of people come through the door, and the customers and owners know each other. Cafe on the Square is obviously a locals spot, which speaks to the quality of the food. I got a California Chicken Salad with a slice of sunflower seed bread, and it was fantastic! Make sure you ask for the homemade dressing; you won't regret it.
Great lunch spot! Fresh, tasty, good prices, and fast. Definitely get one of the house made pickles as a side!
I was lucky enough to be working in the same building for a month and must have eaten here 2-3 times a week. I was never disappointed. There is no secret sauce, no fancy menu, or gimmicks.
What there is: amazing sandwiches! If I had access to a deli, a bakery, and fresh produce this is the sandwich I would make for myself. The staff are friendly and great. The salads superb. No frills, no twisting their own arms to post themselves on the back. JUST EXCELLENT SANDWHICHES.
Turkey and Roast Beef is really good. Highly recommended.
I had do e a lengthy review and lost it before finishing it.
So the short version.
The Crab/Shrimp Salad is unbelievable. Iam a seafood fein. And I've eaten many seafood salads, but have never eaten a salad such as this. The price I can't remember. If you try it you'll be hooked. If I can, today I will pleasure myself with another salad.
Mr. John your Crab/Shrimp Salad is the best by far. How do you keep this a secret. I'll try my best to see it isn't a secret any more. Only secret is the Salad dressing you put on the salad.
Thank you,
Mr. Jimmy Shields 🛡
Very good sandwiches! The owner/cashier is extremely nice and clearly cares a lot about serving great food.
I have not had great food like this in long time!! I have never had chicken salad taste so good! Fresh and delicious!!
I recommend Cafe on the Square to everyone. Don't forget to try the brownie!!
The owner is very kind- will definitely return!
Really nice guy, was happy to accommodate gluten free, and it was one of the best lettuce wraps I've had!
