Cafe 17

I really wanted to like this place. Walking in, it smelled great, the interior and exterior design was colorful and welcoming. My first disappointment was when I saw them using Crisco spray on their cooking surfaces… Crisco… are you kidding me. We placed our order, food came w/​o waiting too long, so I appreciate that. Now the food… all the dining ware and utensils are disposable, some would be recycabe (if they had a recycling bin), the cook serving up the orders to us outside from the kitchen has the voice projection of a shy teenage boy so you can easily have your food sitting there getting cold because you don’t hear him. One of my friends ordered a mixed green salad with grilled chicken and honey vinaigrette dressing. What she got was a romane salad with honey (yes just honey) as a dressing and breaded chicken. Just because the breaded chicken was cooked on the grill doesn’t make it grilled chicken, grilled chicken has nothing on it. My turkey reuben was an insult to reubens. The bread was blah as was the turkey, not nearly enough sauerkraut and the Russian dressing had little to no taste to it. My wife had a kale salad with Mozzarella, at least it was supposed to be Mozzarella but tasted more like fake free shredded cheese that was ShopRite brand. At the end of the meal, my wife had a nice pile of yellow kale in the corner of her disposable take out tray (salad bowl for them). Needless to say, we will never be going back here or recommending it to any of our friends. oh, and they don’t have a public restroom to boot.

The crepes are delicious. Great value for lunch.

Got my plate and it was missing half the order but the employees looked and sounded so disgusted with making food and having to talk to people I didn’t bother asking for the rest. It’s also super cold inside.
& the use of trashy wasteful paper plates in a ecologically conscious community is odd

Love this place. gets better everytime. I reccomend the very gouda crêpe its perfect

If you’re going to have a gravy sandwich on the menu, then call it a gravy sandwich.
I had a smashed poached egg sandwich… it was so bad. and my friends crêpe was bad too. I REALLY wanted to like this place because its brand new but honestly … it was hard.
It wasn’t cheap and the ladies who work here smoke in front of the restaurant and hock loogies i can’t deal. Y’all should try mainly because its $ 1.50 unlimited coffee.
idk guys.
y’all can try and decide maybe we ordered wrong…
