as a longtime resident of Ashland, who really wants to see a successful business in the center of…read moremy town it really pains me to have to give this review. I've eaten here twice now the first time I said, I would never go back, but I wanted to give it a second chance. This place basically does breakfast and if you only do one thing, you should be great and let's face it. Breakfast is one of the easiest things to make and do well but this place misses the mark on every level. First impressions walking in the door, the place is freezing cold even the waitresses all have goosebumps and who wants to sit in a refrigerator and be uncomfortable while you're eating? We walked in the door to a nearly empty restaurant with these big, beautiful sunny windows, but they sat in a dark corner while the booths in the windows were all empty. Business 101 people attract people put them in the windows so that they can have use and people can see that the business has customers!!!! maybe they didn't wanna sit us next to the windows because they were covered with greasy fingerprints that looked like they had been there since the last weekend and hadn't been cleaned. The glass was gross. The menu has all the standard fair that you would expect from a regular breakfast restaurant.... in Kansas. all very American. Nothing stands out as being gourmet or unique in a market where there's a lot of money and a lot of transplants who are used to better stuff than ordinary Americana breakfast food. The prices are a little high, but it's 2026. Everything's high. We order our food. I got scrambled eggs and they were hard as rubber because they were overcooked.! How do you own a breakfast restaurant and you can't cook scrambled eggs? I had the eggs returned and they did a decent enough job on the next batch but generally speaking the food was just barely OK. I got orange juice and it came in a giant glass and it was clearly from concentrate. Maybe that works in Iowa but at a specialty restaurant in a fashionable town I want fresh squeeze orange juice. I don't need 10 gallons of it. I would rather have a little juice glass full of fresh orange juice than a gallon of concentrated crap. I just don't think these people understand their clientele and they don't do anything special like blueberries for your pancakes.... There's so many things you can do with breakfast and they just did the bare minimum. It's so disappointing to have the restaurant with the absolute best geography in our community barely trying to make decent food or make customers comfortable in a clean environment. I was charitable when I gave them two stars because I actually felt bad. I want them to succeed, but they really need to rethink what they're doing and try a lot harder.

Honestly it's more of a 3.5 but round-up-able enough for me…read more My son had a thing at Randolph Macon during spring break. He needed lunch before we hit the road home. After looking for someplace close we found cafe54. SUPER close to campus. My eggs were ok. The corned beef hash was the canned kind just like I like it, because some stuff you can make fresh and fancy up but that preservative, war time taste just hits and you know I'm right. I had coffee that would put hair on your chest. and an Arnold palmer that was kind of watery. Oddly enough I found those traits acceptable. My son had french toast. This is only the 3rd time he's had it (by choice) and he really enjoyed it. While brunch/lunch was a 3.5 in my book it was a 5 for him There is no tap to pay but they do take the usual cash and card. So just don't forget your cards in your pants pockets and you'll be ok. The place was bright and airy with outdoor seating and the service was just ok. Decent place. You should go in a try it out.

I used to get my oatmeal from Panera but thought I'd try it here. I loved how I could customize my toppings.

I also tried the orange cranberry scone. My intern liked her oatmeal cream pie and the quiche she ordered. The bakers/cash register were extremely kind.

I ordered curbside pickup at this Wawa and it was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had…read more I have two young children, ages 2 and 3, one of whom was sleeping in the car. I specifically chose curbside pickup over a nearby drive-through because I thought it would be quicker and easier. I was completely wrong. I placed my order at 6:50 PM and was told it would be ready by 7:00. At 7:06, 16 minutes later with no order in sight, I called to ask where it was. The person who answered simply said "I'll check" and hung up. At 7:10, they finally called me back to ask me to repeat my parking spot. Apparently, they had no idea I was even there waiting for a curbside order. The smoothies finally came out at 7:17. That's 27 minutes for three smoothies, with two small kids in the car. While they did apologize for the wait, the apology felt hollow. Nobody was friendly throughout the entire process, and there was no real acknowledgment of how seriously inconvenient this was for someone sitting outside with two young children. To top it off, they forgot to include straws for one of the smoothies and didn't include any napkins. If you're considering curbside pickup at this location, don't. Go to the drive-through somewhere else. You'll save yourself the frustration.
