    All-American Panini (spicy) with fruit - YUM!!
    Clarissa W.

    Today is my birthday, and I decided to take the afternoon off to relax and start working on my goals for now and into 2019. I went to the library to have lunch and to get on a computer for some business work. I haven't been to East 59 since they opened in the place where Customs Cafe used to be. I ordered the All-American Panini with fruit. The very kind cashier asked me if I wanted it spicy (sriracha) or sweet (Thousand Island dressing), and I went for spicy. It did not take for my food to be prepared, and it looked delicious on the plate. My first bite of the panini was incredible. The mixture of the roast beef, cheddar cheese, and crunchy onions was a beautiful thing. Then the sriracha hit my tongue...and I knew I should have chosen sweet - LOL! It sent my mouth into burn state, and only my Sprite kept me cooled off. I definitely will be back to East 59 again to taste the other sandwiches and salads, and to get this panini in sweet!

    Yayyyyy outdoor sitting and the convenient location for getting food without having to leave the library!! And so much outdoor seating!! Really grateful for the options and variety provided. Super pleased, will definitely be back.... probably tomorrow

    a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich

    Cute coffee shop. Perfect for studying or cute morning date. They are friendly. The coffee is good but not my favorite. It a little pricey but not too bad. Spacious. The food is filling. It's perfect for anytime of the day. The food is good for a cafe. I will defiantly be coming back. Very homie filling. Overall great coffee shop but lacks in areas.

    BLT sandwich

    Came to the new location at the Hoover library. Definitely fitting with its take on lattes and paninis I tried the BLT with chips. Wanted pasta salad but they were out. I was impressed one with the size of the sandwich and also with how it was seasoned. Very tasty and not dry. The right amount of mayo to give a bit of balance and moisture. Place is great for just coming to grab something quick and light and it have to deal the the same ole same for lunch. While you are there grab a magazine or book too. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu

There were so many pastry options but we decided on the cinnamon roll and it was so good warmed up! The vanilla latte tasted like good quality coffee. We got the roman roast sandwhich, which is apparently the most popular food item on the menu. The beef was tender and juicy and the fries were perfectly crispy. You could definitely split this with someone, it's a huge sandwich. We also got the campo italiano focaccia flatbread. The focaccia part was really good, it was fluffy and also crispy. The chicken on top was kind of dry though. I loved the vibes of the inside, they have free wifi so it's a perfect place to do some work or study! There's a good bit of parking, too. The guy working there was really nice. Overall I definitely want to come back to try more of their menu and pastries! I was too full for gelato but I got a sample of their dubai chocolate flavor and it was so good.

    I only recommend this if you're short on time and the reason being that it's pretty pricey and you…read moredon't get a lot of food. With that being said, I'm almost positive the serving size you get for each order is normal/average, BUT i always have a large appetite, especially after a workout. This cafe is located within the gym. You can get a variety of foods such as sandwiches salads, noodle bowls, etc. You can also get a variety of smoothies, protein shakes, supplements, etc. They also have pre made meals that you can grab and go if you don't have the seven minutes it takes to prepare you meal. I ordered the soba noodle bowl with cilantro avocado slaw. It's a bit spicy but i'd say that spice is more for the flavor and not unbearable, i don't like spicy at all but i'll tolerate this. The noodle bole includes low mean noodles, peanuts, red pepper flakes and can add chicken for an additional charge. It's right around $9.00 and again, for the amount of food, i'd probably want to just go to a restaurant and pick up take out so i wouldn't be hungry after the meal.

    This is Life time's onsite cafe, and it is open to members and non-members. They serve a variety of…read moresmoothies- protein shakes as well as healthy fruit smoothies and juices. They have a wide selection of protein bars as well as other healthy meals for breakfast and lunch that you can pick up on the go. They provide you with calorie counts and nutritional content on most of their foods. This is a great place to stop by after your work out, and they also have free wifi if you want to sit around and work on your laptop. The staff is very friendly and will help you out with substitutions on your meals or smoothies if you ever need any.
