We were looking for a late lunch and ended up outside the doors of this Cafe and realized they had closed. Much to our surprise and delight they opened the doors and invited us in. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. We had the Turkey avacado club, Reuben, and grilled cheese /pimento grilled cheese. The sandwiches were piled with meat and excellent. We enjoyed the pickles and there was a choice of a side. I am a bit of a food snob and give this place 5 stars for service and quality. We will be bk next time we are in town as this cafe did not disappoint! read more

The owner is one of the nicest guys! His soups are the most flavorful. If you need recommendations tomato and basil. The sweet potato and sausage sounds like a strange combo but so worth it! The chicken salad/ salad is yum! read more

Owner saw us looking at the menu and invited us in while they were closed. Great atmosphere at this little hole in the wall. Unique items on the menu. Prices are reasonable. Food has lots of flavor. They accept debit cards. I'll be coming here for lunch often. read more

The best soups ever! The hours can be wonky and only open for lunch. Very large menu. Stick with the soups.

A great place for lunch! The food was excellent. Totally recommend the #15 (Chicken Salad on a croissant with fruit). Staff are extremely friendly. read more

I had the Gourmet Chicken Salad Croissant after reading positive reviews about it. The chicken salad has pineapple and mandarin oranges in it but it does not taste sweet. The walnuts give it a nice crunch. With all of the choices on the menu, it will be hard to pass on this one to try something else. I also had a cup of the tomato basil soup. The soup was excellent. read more

This was such a nice surprise! The man who took our order was so friendly and helpful. We ordered the Bacon Avocado Club and the Curry Chicken Wrap. He also gave us samples of the amazing, creamy tomato basil soup. We loved the food and will definitely be back! read more

Terrence has it going on. So many healthy options and a nice little "small-town" feel to the place. Terrence greets us each time, and we know the food will be cooked or made fresh when we order. With that being said, it may take a bit longer, but the food is worth the wait. The chicken salad is the best around, and the chicken provolone wrap is sensational. He's given us a "sample" of coconut cake before, and my mother said it's the best she's eaten. read more

My family and I stopped here for lunch on the way to our campsite. Everything we had was so flavorful and delicious! We even had samples of their tomato bisque soup, which was delightful (and I don't usually like tomato soup. read more

Without a doubt, this place has the best sandwiches and soups in town! But everything is prepared individually, so it is not "fast" food. You will need 30-45 minutes. It is worth the wait. If you will be short on time, don't pass it by--order ahead to take out and eat at their shaded outdoor tables! read more

Very slow service, waited 35 minutes for a sandwich, with no one ahead of us. Won't be back

Delicious food from kind people. Great place for lunch. I enjoyed the Appalachian Cristo turkey wrap.

Passing thru Morganton and found this gem. Jamaican Curry Chicken Salad was fabulous. Multiple soup options are available. All were very good. Reasonably priced for lunch food and lots of options. read more

Such a lovely cafe. The sandwiches are sooooo delicious. Must try on your visit or stop Morgonton.

We finished a long day of hiking and required substantial refueling. This quant little spot didn't disappoint. The food is great! We had the southwest chicken wrap, the double decker club, and the tuna wrap. All were excellent! My dog even got two scoops of chicken salad and devoured it. The owners are a very sweet couple that's been doing this for 19 years. They've definitely got it figured out. They even have a local young woman who bakes for the cafe and her cheesecake is perfect! Check this place out! read more

We eat here regularly every time we come to Morganton. I tried a hot flatbread sandwich with ham, dressed with something yummy and sweet. It was finger-licking good. read more

I truly enjoyed the soups and sandwiches. Convenient location and very comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend this establishment the food is great. read more

Good: Delicious food, good prices, country and city vibe all at the same time. The not so good: Their hours are lousy...not sure how they stay open, Often I have not been greeted when I walk in, and sometimes bot even acknowledged. read more

Great surprise in the historic downtown district. The menu options are impressive. The two of us were exceptionally pleased with our choices. The owner/chef thoughtfully prepared my wrap as a 1/2 to eat there with a 1/2 to go - he was right! Portions are so generous the smaller than average side sizes were negligible. Wish we lived closer. This would be a favorite spot! read more

Wow! What friendly service and a huge menu. Delicious food. We'll be back to try some other things!

What a hidden gem! Found Limbertwig while looking for a place to pick up sandwiches on a trip. So glad I did! The staff was so friendly and helpful, the food was fabulous and flavorful and there was so many options to choose from (although if anything is better than the Jamaican chicken salad I would be shocked). I will definitely be back! (And by the way, limbertwig is a type of apple. I asked!) read more

You might walk right past this place and not even notice it as the sign on the door is small and the inside is very basic. You order up front and take a seat. You would however miss some delicious sandwiches though. I had 1/2 Jamaican curry wrap and 1/2 Thanksgiving turkey wrap. My husband had 1/2 turkey Reuben and 1/2 French dip. All were delicious. If we were in a hurry it would be 4 stars though as it took 25 minutes for our food to come out. read more

Great food very nice staff. Very casual and unimpressive atmosphere but the food is very good. Mostly sandwiches but overall too pricey for sandwiches read more

Chance Siri search brought us off I-40 into the heart of downtown Morganton. In a few words . . . Key Lime Pie and Strawberry Rhubarb Cheesecake. Oh my! Cheesecake topping served warm, creamy key line with creative crust of pistachios, crumbs, and some key lime zest. We were received and treated like family. Yes, a hole in the wall, but the kind I wish I could find in more places. read more

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! There was an accident on 40 stopping traffic as we traveled so we pulled off & found downtown Morganton & the the Limbertwig Cafe. The sandwiches and soup we ordered were delicious. The owners were so kind & brought over dessert for us to try as well, even though it was closing time for them. Kind people and a wonderful meal. A great experience! read more

A most excellent stop for lunch! The wraps were delicious and you can tell that a lot of care goes into making each one! I'm looking forward to coming back to try the other sandwich options! read more

So delicious. Well worth any wait!!! I had the white bean and chicken soup. Stayed hot the entire time I was eating it. Delicious and simple turkey sandwich for me. Husband had the chicken spicy wrap. I would go again. Those that looked at the menu and thought you were just getting a small bite, better go back portions are great. read more

Great food. Large amounts for a fair price. Extensive menu with vegetarian and vegan options.

This place serves some truly unique sandwiches and wraps you won't find anywhere else. Great place to go when you're not in a hurry. Nice small town ambiance to enjoy and the sandwiches have healthy side options. Staff are friendly and courteous. read more

I went here for lunch had sweet potato and sausage soup which was delicious and the Keylime pie is super good just like I used to get when I lived in the keys read more

Ate at limbertwig cafe for the first time and it will NOT be the last. Fantastic cafe food and service. They're super friendly people and the vast food options will keep you coming back for sure. read more

Orders the basil Thai chicken salad but on a croissant and not as a wrap. Really delicious. Sat outside at the cafe table.

Amazing food! Owner and employees are awesome and very attentive. Homemade soups are absolutely heaven.

A great experience! Nice, fresh meal that was properly prepared. Had the Chicken Cordon Bleu wrap (at least I think so), and it was absolutely the best wrap I've had in my life. I'll go back just for the flavors, especially with the perfect honey mustard dipping sauce. Highly recommended. read more

I don't like that they don't take credit or debit card, but the food and service more than make up for it. They are very friendly and the soups are delicious. I would eat here regularly if they took debit cards. The space is good for people to eat in, but most get food to go. They are a great sandwich shop. read more

Great little sandwich spot for lunch. NEW location at 104 W. Union Street in downtown Morganton. I loved Jamaican chicken salad.

Lunch there today was awesome. Curried Pumpkin soup was amazing. Service was phenomenal ... people could not have been more friendly. Will definitely go back when I can. Spicy chicken wrap was exceptionally good as well. Our first visit ... looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

Downtown Morganton has a jewel! The owner is so friendly and gives excellent customer service. The food is delicious! I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it's the best Reuben I've ever had. The cafe has a very pleasant ambience and showcases local artists work. I love the food and the atmosphere. read more

Excellent soups and sandwiches for a casual lunch. The decor could definitely be updated, but staff are delightful.

The food at Limbertwig is out of this world! Jewel makes everything from scratch, fresh every day. You have to try the Spicy Smoked Sausage & Sweet Potato soup!! read more
