The Artist Way Cafe

So happy I spotted this on the way to the bank, I really enjoyed the space and environment at this cafe. The owners mom was very sweet and welcoming which makes me want to come back again. I ordered the tuna melt, which is something so simple but not always great at some places. This place does it just right, I couldn’t even wait to get home to finish it. Will be back!

Cute diner in a quaint town. Sadly, the food was just mediocre. The grandly named "Rockefeller Center" sandwich was a single slice of deli ham, a single layer of lettuce, a slice of cheese and a slice of tomato on sandwich bread "toasted" in a sandwich press. A small handful of small chips didn't add much. Overall a disappointing and small serving. Great service, good prices and a clean dining room weren't enough to bring me back.

Good food and loved the hospitality of Rodney and his mom. Also enjoyed Rodney’s art and if I had an inch of wall space left would have bought a piece or two. Was so pleasantly surprised that such a small town could have such a charming restaurant. Loved my sandwich!

The café is clean and staffed by friendly people. Service was a bit scattered, but always happy. My main disappointment was with the food. It was NOT AT ALL BAD, but it wasn't really anything special. My tomato soup tasted like an unseasoned tomato sauce, and my husband's sandwich (the Tuesday special with corned beef) was very uninspiring: the corned beef had no flavor and was easily overpowered by the roasted peppers in the sandwich. I think this place has a lot of potential, but they really need to work on making their food's flavor pop.

I had a wonderful lunch at “The Artist’s Café” this week with a friend. My lunch was the fancy grilled cheese with tomato soup. My dining partner enjoyed the BBQ sandwich with delicious homemade coleslaw. Pineapple cake and Key Lime pie came home with us to be enjoyed later. Yum! The decor is beautiful and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be back.
