Food
The food ranges from sweet to savory crepes, as well as salads and sandwiches. The pastries, primarily the cookies are brownies, are absolutely mouth-watering. If you are looking for a full meal, then I recommend a crepe. Some of the better crepes on the menu include the Grand Marnier crepe (mixed berries) and the Nutella crepe! Wondering about any good drinks, too? Well, if ordering a hot drink I suggest hot chocolate and if ordering a cold drink I suggest the mocha frappucinno. Pricing The pricing at this café is pretty fair. Compared to other restaurants in the area, they have lower prices and some even say better food. I would say that nothing is overpriced, but the fairness of the pricing is decided by you… so go and try Wild Strawberry Café! Service The servers help you right away, creating a sense of being rushed and being awkward when you don’t know what to order. Once you order though the servers are very helpful and will do anything for you. The food is made quickly and served fresh! Atmosphere This café is very quite and secluded, giving it a more intimate feeling. It’s small but has enough seating for many. There is inside and outside seating, allowing it up to the customer where to sit. The plates used give the restaurant an intense feeling of comfort, because they are not your average restaurant plates. Overall, the atmosphere is pleasant and allows for a nice place to grab a bite to eat. |
