The family that owns and operates this gem is Greek and they are not only amazing cooks, but they care about their community!! I have been there eating several times this winter and obviously homeless people would come to the door and be given water, hot soup, half a sandwich, etc. that just made me love this place more. Now to the food. First of all I had the meatball sub which was not only delicious but super filling. The meat was very well seasoned, and the fresh basil just made the marinara pop even more, add the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and you've got something special. The homemade bread puts this thing into overdrive! Crispy on the outside, light, delicate but not falling apart and heavy enough to hold together all that deliciousness without being filling like you just ate a large pizza. Now to the ridiculous tomato basil soup. I love the clam chowder but the tomato basil is my favorite. Savory, full of flavor, smooth, creamy and not greasy. This in my opinion is the perfect pairing to the meatball sub. You're welcome! The customer service here is amazing too just like the owners and the food. You will always be greeted by a smiling face, and treated like family. You will not regret stopping here. I've eaten the Meatball sub, The Philly, the lasagna and The Gyro ( lamb and chicken) all have been 10 out of 10. The ambiance is like a neighborhood dinner with a small dining room. You will love it!

I ordered the BLT and had the chicken lemon soup The soup was very lemony and salty but I ate the whole bowl it was pretty good. The BLT had too much lettuce on it and a couple pieces of bacon but it was your standard white bread-mayo- bacon-lettuce-tomato. Prices not bad when the sandwiches come with soup or salad. Nice quaint family run local restaurant. I would try the Alfredo next time assuming they make the sauce in house?

The place is brightly lit and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, there just isn't much value in it for me. I got a salad bowl, with this format you choose: base: a type of lettuce, I chose mixed greens protein: I chose pulled pork up to 3 toppings: I chose mixed veggies, roasted corn, and feta cheese I was charged $0.79 for the feta and I'm not sure why. It was not listed as a premium topping on the menu board, nor is it on the website. The salad was tasty but I felt like I could eat another one.

Beautifully aligned in a vibrant array of colors. Not only do they look incredible, but they taste out of this world too! With so many great flavors to choose from, I had to go for a variety pack, and every single macarons was delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and the texture was perfect... Light, crisp shells loaded with flavorful fillings. Besides their macarons, they also offer a variety of lunch bowls, sandwiches, and weekly salad specials. During peak hours, it can get busy however the efficiency of the staff masters the challanges excellent. I'm the few times I have been, the wait has never been long even if the lane was long. So, If you're looking for a sweet treat with great service, Sweet Caribou is definitely worth a visit! *** As always translated to German for all our world travelers *** Sweet Caribou ist der hippe Ort, um Deine Lust auf Macarons zu stillen! Von dem Moment an, in dem Du hereinkommen, zieht es Deine Augen sofort auf das Macaron Display! Wunderschön angeordnet bei den knallig bunten Farben. Sie sehen nicht nur unglaublich aus, sondern schmecken auch ausgezeichnet.! Bei so einer tollen Auswahl, hab ich mich natürlich für eine gemischte Packung entscheiden, und jede einzelne Macaron war köstlich. Die Aromen waren gut ausgewogen und die Textur war perfekt ... Leichte, knusprige Schale voll delikater Füllung. Neben ihren Macaronen bietet Sweet Caribou auch eine Auswahl an Lunch-Bowls, Sandwiches und wöchentlichen Salate an. Zu Stosszeiten kann es schon schnell mal voll werden, aber die Effizienz des Personals meistert die Herausforderungen hervorragend. Bei den wenigen Malen, die ich dort war, war die Wartezeit nie lang, selbst wenn es viele Leute hatte. Wenn Du Dich wieder mal mit einem süssen Leckerbissen verwöhnen willst, und dabei grossartigen Service möchtest, ist Sweet Caribou einen Besuch wert!

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon around 5 and they had their doors open…read more But when I parked and walked up, they were closing the doors. The employee shook his head to indicate they were closed. It took a few weeks but I made my back on Thursday afternoon. And the experience was solid. I started with the chips and salsa. I'm noticing a trend of some places charging for their chips and salsa. What's weird is the places with the most authentic chips often have one complimentary basket. And places like this with a price tag have the store bought variety. But the salsas were delicious (and the hot was even spicy!). I asked for a second mild salsa since the containers were pretty small. The tacos were good. I went for a carne asada and a Birria. The carne asada was on point. Hot and tasty without being salty. The Birria was a bit dry. The cheese helped a little. I removed one of the tortillas and dipped it in the salsas to get a little moisture to it. It made me wonder if consommé is not a norm for Birria. The restaurant was spotless and very nicely apportioned. Lots of seating for a place that looks so small from the outside.

The pictures online looked amazing, the menu looked streamlined and neat. Upon entering it is a super cute place and decorated very nicely. We enjoyed the artwork on display. Everything looked nice and clean, 8/10. Service was attentive and great. She was very quick and polite. No complaints here whatsoever! The food.... We were going to order calamari ($20) to start, but they were out. That's OK! No big deal. I decided we could just start with chips and salsa. This is not a free with your meal chips and salsa like other places but it's a reasonable $5. We received a big basket of tortillas and I enjoyed both red red mild and green hot salsas. The chips were good too. I ordered the chalupa plate ($21) and it came with two chalupas filled with chicken/potato and a side of rice and beans. The rice and beans were good. I liked that it was refried black beans. I got through my first chalupa, moving the lettuce aside to check it out. I noticed my chicken was pre-packed type chicken slices. You know, the kind with "grill" marks you find at Costco that are ready for salads and already cooked. My heart sank. For the price point I was seriously expecting more. It is not difficult to roast chicken fresh and shred it for dishes... My partner ordered the burrito special ($25) and while it was a MASSIVE thing that could feed you 3x easily it was subpar to him he told me later in the car. While I did not partake in dessert I did check out the little menu on the table. While I know the odds of desserts being made in house are low, I always hope so. The desserts here are from Sweet Street Desserts which is a wholesale chain, so I passed. I'm sure they are tasty, but just not for me when going out to eat. Unfortunately I don't think this place is worth the cost of the food vs the quality. They would need to up their food quality and freshness game to bring us back...
