The School Street Cafe is amazing. I had a sandwich and my mom had coffee and the breakfast burrito and both were so great. Great portions, great prices, and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you!

Our company had lunch catered from School Street Cafe. We had a variety of different wraps that were all amazing! The Caesar salad was so delicious as was the garden salad. I had the club wrap, (delectable) and from what all my coworkers said, the chicken salad was so tasty, the Caesar wrap, heavenly, the veggie wrap, delectable....how many synonyms for delicious can I come up with? Highly, highly recommend! I would love to try eating at the Cafe. Some day!

Absolutely awesome service-the best I've seen in a long time. Christina is a sweet heart and handles all the guests and orders with grace and kindness. Great with suggestions, answered all my questions with a big smile. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Very fair price for local, quality food. Going to be a regular spot for me. Thank you all!

The cafe has delicious lattes and breakfast food. The atmosphere is very cute. I'm definitely coming back in the summer to sit outside and look out on the square.
