The Lunch Cafe - Berkley

Long overdue review as I have visited this place for a few years, but it is my absolute favorite. I work nearby, so it's easy for me to call and pick up in a take-out lunch order for me and/or employees. The food is simple, but is homemade and you can say that they really care about the quality of what they serve. Even on their busiest days, they are efficient and provide friendly service. My favorites are the fruity chicken salad pack and cook salad, and their soups are all great! The prices are also very reasonable if not on the cheap side, which is appreciated with how expensive everything is lately. Thanks TLC:

Got 3 veggies options: the veggies panini grill, jalapeño poppers, and caprese. Panini grill was great, not spicy but the side of Sriracha mayo helped. Jalapeno poppers were alright, just a cheesy sandwich with jalapeños. Caprese was really good, house vinegarette was delicious. Lots of cool and funny signs inside and friendly service!

The people here are so friendly, the food was great and everything is reasonably priced. Definitely will be coming back!

Great service, great food. Had a club sandwich and the golden potato soup, both excellent

The do not offer refills on drinks. The line at lunch is about 15 mins. So if you want another drink you’d have to leave your table, wait in line again, and buy another one. Wouldn’t be as bad if they didn’t fill up their drinks with 90% ice and 3/4 full of lemonade. Still Thirsty
