Cafe Del Mar

I went in for a coffee a while back and guess what… they didn’t have any! That’s a no brainier won’t be back!

At first glance this seems like a cute fun little place to get a quick bite to eat. I found this place online and decided to inquire about hosting a small party there since it’s new and intimate. I spoke with both the manager and the owner (owner is Shantia Singh, General Manager of the hotel Holiday Inn that the Café is adjacent too). They both said that they would cater it and took down my information to send me pricing. I spent probably 20 min discussing this with them. They never called or email me to respond. It was just as well, as their menu was really limited and not at all impressed. Seemed like sandwiches I could make at home with no extra anything. If the owner and manager didnt respond to what could have potentially been a $ 500 catering job, then obviously their business is not run well. A food business that is not run well makes you wonder how they keep the food safe and refridgerated, and the tables and other surroundings clean. (Although everything seemed clean, and I never got the chance to try the food since they never responded).

An alternative to the local Starbucks. The building has been recently remodeled and had sort of a California feel. The coffee is high quality but the selection is very limited. Nice patio

Looking for a Niche!

I expected more when I decided to stop. At first glance I was thinking this was a diner although the name says café. The location is on the same property as a hotel. My overall reaction was this place was more like an office building or college snack bar. It was really small and only had 8 to 10 tables.
The impressive item was their espresso machine. When asked about the coffee they explained they served Lavazza coffee and had been trained as barista. The menu also included Haagen-​Dazs, and Boars Head. I was interested in getting an ice-​cream but was told that they only had smoothies.
I ordered a cheeseburger that was cooked to my liking. When they took my order they asked which condiments I would like on it and then informed when delivering my food that packets were available.
Parking was easy as it was a hotel parking lot. They did have outdoor seating. Overall I was not impressed and probably will not return except to try the coffee.
