Very cute, rustic ambiance. Very friendly service. They take reservations if you have a hankering for one of their alcove tables. Had the cranberry salad with grilled chicken and their homemade poppyseed dressing . It was very good. I'd get an appetizer, dessert or a side though cause I was still a little hungry when I left. read more

Cafe 119 - Cranberry salad - Salad Near Me - Manlius, New York

A true gem in the village of Manlius, where I consistently have great food and service.

Everything I want in a comfy diner! Good food, friendly staff, and a well-crafted aesthetic made for a great lunch before we walked it off at Green Lakes. The chocolate cake was also out of this world. read more

I invited a long time friend for lunch. I hadn't visited Cafe 119 in a while but remembered the cute, quaint experience and enjoyable meal from the last visit. Food and service was great. The waiter was attentive and informed of the menu and specials selections (A+ performance). We will be returning. Thank you cafe 119 read more

Stumbled on this tiny place by accident and man am I glad I did! The moment we entered I was greeted by one of the servers and seated at my table. The decor in here is unique, with exposed rustic wood beams and Canadian decor. It makes the whole restaurant seem much bigger than it actually is and makes it a quaint little place. I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad and when it came I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! The Dijon mustard and Asian sauce worked together so well! The chicken was nicely cooked and really crispy, the cashews offered a nice added bit of crunch and the mandarin oranges gave some acidity and sweetness. I was very impressed with the offerings at this restaurant and would strongly suggest it to anyone! read more

Cafe 119 - Salad Near Me - Manlius, New York

The sweetest little shop serving up the most delicious food. For 13.99 a sandwich, pasta, and chips is what you get and it's so much food! The detail around the restaurant is charming! read more

The Autumn Apple salad I had here today hit the spot. I think I could eat that everyday. I had a craving for a good salad and this exceeded it. It was so fresh and paired well. The dressing seemed to be homemade and was the perfect finisher. I need to try more of their menu. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is quite small inside and takeout isn't the quickest turnaround but it's worth it. read more

Very nice ambiance, nice people, and excellent lunch menu. Oh...very convenient location.

I had the privilege of eating here for dinner this evening and it was delicious!! The service was phenomenal our waitress was so kind and attentive (I can't remember her name but thank you for great service!). The sandwich I had so much flavor you could taste the Swiss cheese and it was overpowering! That cake I had for dessert was so good I forgot to take a picture before I devoured it!! The best chocolate cake I have had in a long time!! Thank you cafe 119 for the delicious food and wonderful service the cafe is small but it has so much character. I loved the ambiance, it was very relaxing and I didn't feel rushed with my meal. read more

I was looking to bring my mom who uses a wheelchair for a nice Mother's Day lunch (we always do the day after because we know things won't be crowded ). A friend suggested here. Upon arrival I notice they have a large parking lot in the back which is helpful. I pop in to ask if they're wheelchair accessible- there is a little step up in the back entrance but the staff comes out and says they'll help. I can't stress enough how kind and accommodating this staff was - from lifting my moms wheelchair to moving chairs and treating her normally (other than coddled or disabled, which happens), it was such a treat. And I haven't even gotten to the food yet! My mom got a burger, I got the club. Everything was so delicious, I thought I couldn't eat another bite after I finished my whole plate - but then we saw the homemade dessert cooler . We both got huge pieces of cake with a cup of coffee and it was perfection. This place, the people, the food is such a treat. What a gem in Manlius! read more

I had an absolutely delicious lunch at Cafe 119 today! I had the grilled chicken panini with pesto and mozzarella cheese. To die for. The service was prompt and attentive. This is the cutest little place with window seats and a tall glass cooler filled with homemade desserts. I had the lemon meringue pie and it was amazing. read more

I'm going to be the outlier here but I am bothered that gratuity is now included on the bills. I don't agree, approve of this. Food is spot on. Service ok. read more

Best sandwiches and salads! I could eat there everyday! Great atmosphere, super friendly!

3/23/2022 My wife had been here before with a friend and they enjoyed their meal. I had the Philly Steak - Shaved Steak, Sautéed Onions, Sautéed Mushrooms, Roasted Red Peppers, and American Cheese Served on a toasted Sub Roll. Very Good. The fries were ok. This time she had the Roasted Turkey: Spinach, Red Onions, Dried Cranberries, Apples. Garbanzo Beans, Honey Glazed Walnuts, Gouda Cheese, Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Honey Mustard Dressing and Breadsticks. Very good! She had a Diet Pepsi. Only notable because she had a choice between Pepsi and Coke! read more

I'm still not sure why a salad or sandwich needs to cost $14, but once I agree that's where we are, Cafe 119 is a charming setting with a varied menu. I had a somewhat skimpy, but tasty glass of Pinot Grigio followed by a Greek salad with falafel. Crisp lettuces with all the traditional add ones. The black olives seemed likely to be canned. Service was good and friendly. Would I do it again? Probably if I found myself in Manlius. read more

How I wish I could select zero stars. One is giving them too much credit as a business. From buying prepared food at Wegmans and serving as their "special of the day" to the terrible staff. Comical this establishment.. if you call it one.. is even open. Do not waste your money or give them the satisfaction of dining here. 0/100 No wonder they have no reviews in years read more

My daughter and I love this restaurant. The staff is very obliging. The food is excellent and the cost is reasonable. I would recommend this to anyone that likes a little "vintage" café. read more

Great service and excellent Florentine soup and coffee. Pricey but a comfortable and warm spot for a friendly luncheon with friends

Shouldn't place too much emphasis on first impressions, I guess. I've eaten here at least half a dozen times since that objectionable first experience with the turkey club. Every other item has been way better than that. The staff, as has always been the case, are friendly, and the place looks nice after last year's renovation. I did catch a glimpse of another patron's turkey club the other day, though...for the record, it looks like the same pink cold cuts as have been served in the past. Safer to stick with the chicken. read more

oooo I need me some ish with some BOP in it! The food here #smacks. I can not explain how good everything I have ever gotten here is. If you are looking here deciding if you should go or not, the answer is yes go. read more

Small, clean, family-run restaurant in the village of Manlius. We come here about once a month and are never disappointed. My personal favorite is the Caprese Panini (available with or without chicken). Onion rings are worth the upcharge. Beer and wine are available, as are a selection of cakes made off-site. Interior is cozy and eclectic with an interesting collection of antiques lining the wall. read more

Service iffy and depends on who you get. Food just ok sandwiches and salads...nothing special. Where they do shine a bit is they have nice array of homemade desserts. Place is small and on main road with parking in the back which sometimes can be a real challenge. They do not do well if have a crowd, then service is pretty bad. Might want to go just for a front table which over looks the walkway and get just a coffee and a dessert as a treat. read more

Fish, fries and coleslaw - okay, But I'd like to try something different from Cafe 119 some time soon. Nice place and friendly staff. read more

Absolutely delicious, the quintessential lunch spot! The restaurant holds about 11 tables, small cozy lodge vibe with yummy homemade eats. My husband and I always stop while in town, highly recommend! read more

Recently remodeled, Cafe 119 now has more seating and updated decor. There are several small tables (designed to accomodate 4 people) that can be rearranged for groups larger than 4. The menu has changed slightly so you may miss your favorite item but you may be tempted to try something different. I tried one of the new Asian- inspired salads and while the salad itself was delicious, the dressing was too salty for me. Next time, I'll ask for a different dressing. The cafe is family owned and operated; the owners are committed to providing friendly and attentive service and good food. read more

On Friday I wanted something other than everyone's fish fry, so I stopped at Cafe 119 on my way home. I chose lobster ravioli from their 4 specials that day. There was a significant wait for it but I knew they are new-ish at this quantity of take-out business.(It's always been fun to eat-in, in the years I have been going there.) The ravioli came with a fresh, crisp salad and the balsamic dressing was outstanding. But the star was the lobster ravioli! There were six or seven large ovals of tender pasta and they were STUFFED with lobster! The creamy, white sauce was delicious, while not overwhelming the lobster. A fresh dinner roll filled me up, but I wished I had also gotten one of their homemade desserts. They are always excellent! read more

For lunch this is a great little spot. They have a huge selection of things but I'm pretty partial to their salads and wraps! The wraps come with chips and pasta salad. The restaurant itself is pretty small on the inside. But they have a few high demand outdoor seating places and you can get your food to go. If you get it to go just call ahead, because you'll be in the way if you're sitting around. The food is good though... Nice little local place. Prices are comparable to if you got a jimmy johns or panera or something. My only complaint is I wish there was more room inside or something but the food and service is great read more

Food was great, much better then eating at Burger King and paying more. The bread sticks are to die for also. I'm coming here more now for sure. read more

Cafe 119 - My daughter enjoying her food at Cafe 119 - Salad Near Me - Manlius, New York

Two coworkers & I stumbled across Cafe 119 on the way back to our Syracuse office. We arrived at 11:45 AM on a Tuesday & there was only one other occupied table until after 12:00. Our server was very friendly, immediately rattling off some unique daily specials. I had a turkey cranberry sandwich, which was delicious & reasonably priced at $7.99. It came with chips, pasta salad, & a pickle. One of my coworkers substituted a green salad for the other sides at no cost. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Cafe 119 has a coffee bar & makes everything to order (vs. using mixes). Additionally, they offer a respectable beer & dessert selection, both of which I plan to check out if I return for dinner. I would recommend checking this place out if you are in town & enjoy locally owned cafés like I do. read more

One of my family's absolute favorite places to go to lunch in Manlius! Everything I have ordered on the menu from sandwiches to salads has been delicious. The staff is really friendly too! Very excited to go back once the renovations are all completed. read more

all-around: (adj.) ol-a-raund: "considered in or encompassing all aspects." An unpretentious, congenial atmosphere combined with surprisingly good food at a reasonable price, makes Cafe 119 my all-around favorite dining establishment in the Village of Manlius. It earns 5 Stars for Best in its Class of casual, family-operated cafes. With only 10 or so tables its wise to call ahead, especially in the evening if you plan to dine prior to the start time of movies playing at the cinema located just a few steps away. read more

Fresh, food food. Felt like there was no AC on a hot night, but food was very good. Nice atmosphere!

I enjoy coming to lunch here this is a really solid spot. It's a cute little hole in the wall location right in the middle of the town of Manilus. The portions are pretty large for soups and salads and all of the sandwich's are very filling. I think the best thing there though is dessert. The desserts are homemade so you never know what you're getting. It's always a surprise and the desserts are always to die for. read more

We love this spot. I have been going here consistently for over a year since it is very close to home. Their food is healthy and delicious whether it be in the restaurant or a take out order. With our lifestyle we mostly do takeout, and everything is just as fresh and delicious as if it were eaten in house. The service is always wonderful and everyone is super friendly. I never have a chance to write reviews but am making it a point to do so today, because we are so grateful that Manlius has such a lovely establishment. Thank you for continuously pleasing our pallets and keeping us fit and healthy with your yummy salads, wraps and sandwiches. read more

Cafe 119 - Dec 22, 2011 - Salad Near Me - Manlius, New York

Really good option in Manlius, which can sometimes feel like a restaurant desert. If you want to go out to a laid back lunch, this is probably the place to be. My personal favorite is the Modena chicken; with sun dried tomatoes and a balsamic glaze, what could be better? What makes any sandwich above average in my book is having great bread and cafe 119 delivers on that. Their fries are crispy and well seasoned as well. read more
