Cafe 1217

I usually don’t write reviews but this place deserves one! The food was AMAZING! I really loved that they had a lot of gf options, those can be hard to find! The ginger juice was so refreshing! Thank you Cafe 1217

It was our first time there and we loved it. Our salads were wonderful and the staff was super friendly.

Ok, I get it this place is not on bathhouse row. But you need to give it a try. My wife had the salmon with a side of wild rice mint honey concoction that was very good. I had the meatloaf, same wild rice thing and broccel sprouts which also was very good.
This is an order at the counter joint, but don't be intimidated. The staff will walk you through the process and give you a taste of something if you're not sure. The also offer wine and bottle beer. The desserts looked incredible, but I was too full to eat anything else. They are not open late, so plan ahead and give this place a try. I think you will be glad you did.

This cafe offers fresh food in a deli-style setting. They didn't have a lot of vegan options but there were a few like Brussel sprouts, salad, a cranberry rice, and a cold broccoli salad that was my favorite! Some of these may have honey in them. If you ask them they were knowledgeable and will tell you what is vegan. For all you non-vegans they had a lot of delicious looking options...especially, the desserts! If your looking for a fresh alternative when eating out, this place fits the bill!

What a nice cafe. Surprised me as I wasn’t expecting such good food. It is definitely a place I will prefer for lunch in the area.
I really liked that they had great wine to choose from as I’m from the wine country in California originally and they did a good job picking there selections.
Also, they had three different home made ice teas to choose from and A+ desserts. The day I was there they had carrot cake, key lime pie, coconut cream and others.

Very very disappointing!! $15 for a reuben sandwich that honestly tasted like it came from Arby's. There wasn't even enough meat to cover all the bread.

I have been here before and was not satisfied, but after coming back to try it again I have to say the food is refreshing, the atmosphere is friendly-ish. I came here with my wife and son (toddler) we were treated well. I’d visit again.

Great healthy options with some tantalizing down home options as well. The girls behind the counter were so super friendly and helpful.

Okay, so I'm a new vegan, and so far, it has been kinda tricky finding things at restaurants I can eat without seeming like the world's pickiest woman. (My non-vegan husband has been a pretty good sport about it so far.) So I was looking at a bunch of restaurants in town trying to find somewhere I could have something other than a $8 super basic iceberg lettuce, carrot, and tomato salad, and this cafe looked promising.

I talked my husband and a friend into going there with talks of pork chops, paninis, and enticing meat and cheese dishes (lol). And WOW! When you first walk in, the first thing you see are some incredible-looking pies and other desserts! It's almost enough to make a vegan eat some eggs and butter! 😂 There were so many different choices of delicious-looking/sounding entrees that the other two took quite a while deciding what to get!

As for me, I explained that I was looking for dairy-free options, and it turned out they had a whole slew of different and interesting side dishes to choose from. I got the salad sampler, which included a small salad and then my choice of 3 or 4 sides. I had the wheatberry and quinoa veggie salad, the cranberry apple walnut wild rice, the pineapple roasted beet salad, and the teriyaki asparagus with oranges. Yummm! The asparagus was especially delicious! I'd never really had beets, so that was cool. They're not my super favorite, and I'd probably get the Brussels sprouts next time, but I think that's just because of the flavor of beets themselves, not how they were prepared. I still ate them all and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to a beet-lover!

My husband and our friend both had the blackberry ham and cheese panini and they sure didn't skimp on the ham! They both really liked it!

Did I mention the customer service? If you notice in the picture of my plate of food (which I didn't take a picture of till halfway through my meal--there was a lot more food before I started eating!), the salad is kinda pushed to the side. I got my food and looked at the salad and went, "hmmm... I think there's cheese in that dressing." The dressing was just drizzled on, and wasn't touching anything, so I just pushed it to the side, but after about 2 mins, the lady who took my order came over and was like, "Don't eat the dressing! It has dairy in it!" She offered to bring me another salad with an alternate dressing (I did balsamic vinaigrette). I was like, "She cares about me!" The manager (owner maybe?) was also talking to my dining companions about the interesting combination of the blackberry with the ham, and came over to see how they liked it. It was really nice.

So, to sum up: a very nice, clean, cute atmosphere, great food with some awesome healthy options, and really caring staff! All around fantastic! Would absolutely recommend!

Excellent staff very friendly and clean.Food was prepared just right.
