I needed a beverage after leaving an appointment on the ground floor of the Hospital. I walked to the Hospital Cafeteria which was closed but had a sign directing me to the Market Place. It's just passed the Cafeteria entrance with a nice size sign that can be seen easily from that point. Hand sanitizer is located directly in the middle of the entrance. Masks are required to enter and all staff wear them as well plus the employees were wearing gloves.
Market Place was a pleasant surprise as I entered and saw the cafeteria style hot and cold buffet pans. Unfortunately, the buffet closes at 2:00 p.m. and it was 4:00 p.m. but deli sandwiches, burgers and salads are available until 11:30 p.m. There's probably much more but I only saw a few customers orders. Joe, the owner, has a terrific personality and a fun guy and said he'd take good care of me when I came back downtowns. You cannot phone in orders but the line moved very quickly. A nice dining area is at the opposite end of the coolers with approximately 9 or 10 tables.
You'll find a full coffee menu with a barista next to the check out counter. I picked up a hot Pumpkin Spice Latte along with a bottled Diet Coke. Along the side walls are chilled wall cases with many types of beverages, all types of snacks, salads, yogurts, fruit cups, cheese sticks, P3's and much more. A small breakfast island contains boxed cereals. So many options in this much needed and appreciated Cafe that stays open till 11:30 p.m. Patients' family and friends plus all the employees have a evening option to grab a meal, snack or beverage. Thanks Joe! I'll be back!! read more
