    What an awesome Quincy restaurant, maybe be a bit hard to find, but very well worth it. Loved our lunch here, I had a Deli sandwich with ham and Swiss on a Dutch Crunch roll, Hubby had a hot Pastrami with Marbled Rye Bread. Great lean Pastrami. Both came with a nice bag of Chips. We loved them both. The restaurant is very clean and well laid out, with menus on all tables. When we got there, we were greeted with friendly staff and got a table. The staff was very kind and helpful with ordering. Can hardly wait to return and order another great Lunch. Well return soon!!

    We came here a little after 11am on a Friday. It was not very busy as it had just opened. We approached the counter and the young lady answered a couple of questions about the specials. My wife chose the club sandwich on multi-grain bread and I chose the meatball sandwich. We both had wanted to try the chicken noodle soup but she explained to us that it would not be ready for about 20 minutes. The young lady then went to work preparing our sandwiches which were made and delivered in a timely manner and looked delicious. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and we felt taken care of. Our only complaints would be the fact that the soup was not ready when they opened and my wife also noted that her club sandwich did not contain any cheese which seemed strange. Overall it was a good experience and we will return when in the area!

    THE best in town! Chef Krissy and her crew offer the best food and service you could ask for!

    It's supposed to be cut in half?

    Disappointing they can't keep their inventory of Dutch crunch bread and avocado high enough to meet demand. You're supposed to order more of your high demand ingredients.. How have they not figured this out yet? The multigrain bread is also so, so dry.. it's crumbly and not good at all. The rest of the sandwiches are okay. But what drove me to finally leave a review is my sandwich that got "cut in half". I get they're busy but jeez, that's not down the middle, not even close. That's a third, and this isn't the first time. It takes 2 seconds to make sure the knife is centered? Pretty ridiculous.

    The minute you walk through the door, you smell how great the food will be... SO FRESH. The Rueben on rye was delicious!

She always made sure our coffee was filled and consistently checked on us. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and fries. It looked amazing! Fries were tasty, crispy and hot. The sandwich was fresh as well but honestly... not a ton of flavor. I had to add some hot sauce to it. I'm also not sure why it's labeled as also serving Mexican in the yelp description. The inly item I saw was huevos rancheros. Lastly, it's labeled here as the Mountain View cafe but on the building it has a large sign that says the Log Cabin... so don't let that confuse you! I really like the interior and the wood like, cozy small town feel! I grew up in a town like Portola and it definitely took me back. I might come back to try another dish as I do like supporting small businesses!

I ordered the ham, egg and cheese croissant. It was good, but could have used flavor/seasoning. It hit the spot though for a quick bite in the morning. I'd like to try a lunch menu item next time to get a more rounded feel for the restaurant and add another review.

The place was quaint in a very small town. On the inside, paintings and other interesting art scattered the walls, a few tables and a restroom with a fun bathtub garden. The display case at the front counter (where are you order food) featured some appetizing grab and go treats and bites such as peaches and cream muffins, various cookies, lemon bars, potato and a curry chicken salad. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful with her recommendations. I had the NSJ Panini which was very tasty, it came with fries and coleslaw. I enjoyed everything. I ordered the lemon bar which was ok, a little tackier (sticky) than what I prefer but the flavor was nice. I was impressed by all of the smoothie and juice selections. They looked, well crafted and inviting. The next time I find myself in the area, I will definitely return for one of the salads and a smoothie!

    We were in town to bury my father in law, a lifetime Greenville resident. Thinking it would be a…read morenice break, we took our mother in law out to breakfast. We asked for a table outside because she can't hear well, and the cafe was bustling and loud. The staff seated us, but had to move tables around outside. The hostess and a "regular" of the cafe said things like "this is what we do in a tourist economy." "We have to accommodate the tourists." As if we were a bother and they were bending over backward to accommodate us. Because my mother in law was there, and she is emotionally raw right now, I avoided conflict. So I'll say now, what I wanted to say to those snarky, rude employees Thursday: My husband's family has had a plot in the Taylorsville cemetery for longer than those two ladies been alive -- combined. His grandmother had 2 restaurants in Greenville. His mother is a fixture in the community, living through the Dixie fire and coming back to rebuild her life. Now she'll bury her husband there. My sister and brother in law worked in public service in Quincy for decades. We aren't tourists. And even if we were, you were incredibly unwelcoming. You made a sad day worse. The food was fine.
