THE GOOD: We both had breakfast and both enjoyed what we ordered very much. The service was…read moreexcellent. All three of the people that came by to refill coffee and water and to check on us (multiple times) were very nice. We were fortunate to arrive at the perfect time for a Saturday morning, as we would find out in just a few minutes, as we watched the wait list grow. This being our first time, we weren't sure of the seating situation. I walked to the back, where the to-go pick up was located, to find that we can sit anywhere and that someone would come and help us. We did, and they did. I suggest you stop in and give Curuba a try. Very reasonable prices, lots of menu choices, wonderful staff, oh, did I mention the coffee? I love dark roast coffee, "Just black, please". This Columbian coffee is dark, rich, smooth and flavorful with an aroma that hits the senses with every taste. If you're a dark roasted coffee fan, stop in for a cup to go. You'll be back. And even better, the coffee comes from Columbia. They purchase it from a local importer (I believe). They provided the url via QR code. We believe in the "Buy local" philosophy. It's nice to see businesses doing business with local businesses. THE BAD: It's a small restaurant. Making a reservation (Open Table) is likely a good idea. We happened to find it at a slow moment on a Saturday morning. OVERALL: We're fans. I'd love to take our friends and family for lunch, or tell them about our new find. However, there are some things better kept to oneself.

I was craving a sub as I had been seeing this Facebook Post about Jersey Mike's Viral Sub. The…read moresandwiches looked so delicious. I decided to go get me one. Now I usually get Turkey on wheat. However, the video was stressing how yummy the Italian sub was. Service was good as I placed an online order. When I arrived my order was ready and neatly packed. I was greeted by the employee in a very pleasant manner. My Italian Sub on Rosemary Bread, Mike's way was a new experience. I added banana peppers, jalapeños and pepper relish. The regular sized sub was huge. It was packed with veggies, onions, lettuce and tomatoes. The meat was really loaded. All I can say is they are not skimpy on the toppings. Definitely worth the cost for a sub with a great amount of ingredients. Ambiance was good as the store was clean. The sub was pretty good. It's a cold sub, but I chose to heat mine up. I definitely was full and mostly satisfied. It's not my favorite, but it was enjoyable. Overall a good experience! I think Turkey is still my favorite, but this was fun to try.

Continued to make other orders before mine -- would expect a remake of a mistake order to be given priority.

A simple "sorry" would have made all the difference in the world, and prevented this review.

The Nutty Creation Is the One to Order…read more Elke's Market Cafe is a cozy, approachable spot that does simple things well. The standout for me is Elke's Nutty Creation, and now that I know what's in it, it makes complete sense why it's so good. The combination of pecan cheddar spread, bacon, candied jalapeños, and peach preserves on toasted molasses wheat bread hits that perfect sweet-savory balance. It's rich without being heavy, a little sweet, a little salty, and just enough heat to keep it interesting. One of those sandwiches that sounds unusual, but works surprisingly well. The café itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel, and service is friendly and easygoing. A great spot for a casual lunch when you want something comforting, but a little different. If you're unsure what to order, the Nutty Creation is absolutely worth trying.

Updated review: 2/23/26…read more FOOD: The food here is always consistently good & has been over the years. The ownership changed hands after the pandemic, but the quality of the food has remained unchanged. It is a great place to go for just about anything. I especially love the soups and sandwiches. The only deduction in a star is I wish they had the chicken & wild rice consistently more available on the market side and a few more dessert offerings in the restaurant. All they have is lemon bars, cookies, banana pudding. I would like to see a daily pie special. ATMOSPHERE: This is a solid place, clean, good for kids, families, ok for a first date and coffee--definitely not romantic. It is always clean and neat. SERVICE: You order at the register and they bring it out to you, but it is pretty low-key. All team members are great. TIP: Pick up a freezer meal when you leave. Their casseroles and dips are great for emergencies or a night off.

They are known for their sandwiches, homemade soups, fresh salad bar (and free ice cream) that won't destroy your wallet. For us it's a win. We were genuinely excited to rediscover this place. It's family-owned, they give back to our local community, keep everything looking clean, classy, and inviting. You could easily host a group event here for up to 50 people (maybe more). Super friendly staff. They took our order with a smile, happily gave me a sample of their new pickle pasta (yes, I was that person), and actually checked in to make sure we liked our food. Customer service exactly how it should be... which feels rare enough these days to deserve a standing ovation.

This time I got a bowl of the Chicken Pot Pie soup, The Big Chef Salad Original with Ranch Dressing, and for dessert a slice of the Pumpkin Spice Coffee cake. The food was good and flavored nicely! My only issue was the Chicken Pot Pie soup was lukewarm by the time I got it delivered from DoorDash so that may be due to the driver and not necessarily the restaurant. The salad had good portions of all the goodies like ham, turkey, tomatoes, egg, cheese etc. And I am a big Ranch dressing fan and their dressing was top notch and I wish I had more of it. I will definitely order from this restaurant again very soon since they have so many other food options to choose from.

Michael, the owner was very gracious and talked to us about events that the wine store has each week and invited us to come back. Everyone was so friendly.
