The cafe is located in the converted historic ROM Webber furniture factory. The Big Four cafe name honors the railroad line that used to pass through town. Courtney, our server, was friendly and attentive. She kept water filled and checked on us frequently. Food came out quickly. I had the Herb and Garlic Chopped salad, which was beautifully plated, fresh and delicious. Romaine, tomatoes, onions were topped with cheese and avocado. The garlicky vinaigrette dressing was tangy. I I also had a cup of the Texas Chili, which was topped with cheese and jalapeño slices. The beef was tender and the soup base slightly spicy. My husband had the Cuban Press (at Courtney's recommendation) and it was tasty and hearty. The sandwich was made using Indiana ham, slowed cooked pork and melted cheese. He said his sandwich was an easy 5 stars. Don't miss the beer battered onion rings which are fresh made and delicious. (I stole a couple of his rings.) There are roomy restrooms with changing tables. Free parking is available in front of the building. Worth a visit.

I noticed the good reviews so we drove an extra 10 minutes which turned out to be a worthwhile decision. Excellent spot for breakfast and the full dining area supports my opinion. I had the breakfast quesadillas which were delicious! My friends had a breakfast combo which she said was excellent. The server was patient and helpful as I vacillated between options. Definitely a two thumbs up experience and worth a drive!

Did they dig the food out of the dumpster? Again the waitstaff is amazing and the ambiance was great. But the food really lacked heat. Next time I'm going to bring my own food from the store to cook.

The service is really good. Seated promptly, waters come out promptly, minor order modifications handled easily. We have really enjoyed the variety of food. My husband loves the salads and the bowls and pizzas are also good. Probably the favorite entree we have had is the fish and chips. We find the drinks particularly reasonably priced and the cocktails are good. We really like the blueberry one. The space is sunny and open. We have been with our kids and see lots of friendly groups dining there. Free parking in the garage is another plus.

I forget our servers name, but the manager also came by to check on us and even got my food boxed. We got a burger and the chicken katsu and of course the famous biscuits to start. The biscuits were very good but also a bit buttery greasy for our taste. One was enough (we split it). I did take the rest home and add some eggs to it for breakfast which was good! The burger was pretty good. Nice and salty. Not dripping with grease. Soft bun! The fries were decent but not my preferred style. I like fresh cut and these were kind of a shoestring fry. The chicken was decent but a pretty small portion that left my fiancé hungry. He said the side with it was just ok. We got cocktails that I can't recall but they were pretty good. We would go back and try some other things. Probably on a less busy day earlier in the week.

When the coffee house was closed( this is a midwest thing; business close on random days and random hours if there is a ball game, friend's wedding, gymnastic practice, or the county fair going on) we decided to go to Bodega. The inside is small and congested. At this time there were 3 loud talkers whose voices were booming and filling the entire store. We went to the deli section which offered few selections. Decided on the chicken salad on marbled rye. Service was fast and the sandwich looked amazing. Sadly that is where is ended. The chicken salad, while abundant, lacked flavor. Very bland. The bread was delicious. Baklava was excellent. However, while my husband and I were eating our meal and finally able to hear one another (the loud talkers left), the server was cleaning the floor, stacking chairs, wiping down tables and booths, clearly wanting us to leave. Closing time was 20 minutes away but my gosh, could she have been any more obvious and rude. Would I go there again? Ehhhh. It left a lot to be desired.

The soup was hot, delicious and I could tell it was fresh made. My husband had a grilled cheese with fries. The order of crinkle cut fries was generous. His grilled cheese was old school with American cheese on white toast grilled just like mama used to make. The staff is super friendly and checked on us regularly. The food came out very fast.
