The list of establishments that have occupied this space is as long as my arm. I've been working in the neighborhood for 24 years and rarely have I seen a cafe here that lasted more than a year. Hopefully the Causeway Cafe we'll break the chain and remain indefinitely. It is that good.
I can't say that I have eaten everything on the menu, but what I have eaten, with one exception, has been top notch. I'll start out with the chicken salad sandwich. This is unequivocally the best chicken salad I've ever eaten. Chicken salad can be personal , and perhaps this chicken salad would not match everyone's flavor profile. But the combination of the curry, which is very subtle, the apples, and the other seasoning is simply delicious. There is a lot of chicken, the perfect amount of dressing, and a nice amount of spring greens on top. This is a winner!
I've also had the Ham and Brie sandwich which is excellent. My coworkers tell me that the gumbo is good, and that other sandwiches shine as well. The one exception is the sausage, cheese, and egg biscuit which was not to my liking. The biscuit simply fell into a million pieces when I tried to eat it. In my view, a biscuit sandwich should be a handheld. The coffee gets great reviews as well. There is a daily special which you can get on their website or simply call them.
This place needs to stay so that I have an easy place to go for lunch that doesn't break the bank and offers delicious food. read more
