The restaurant itself is a casual place with fast food atmosphere with not particularly clean counters. Sadly, I didn't like the flavor of the sandwich for some reason. It wasn't bad, just not great. And the prices are expensive.

I wanted breakfast for dinner while confused about time zones, so I got three scrambled eggs with toast and home fries for only $9.99. I also added on a slice of New York cheesecake. The egg plate definitely hit the spot. On another day I would get a more interesting dessert here. Food came out quick, and they have a few simple outdoor tables in addition to tables inside the restaurant. Nice visit!

My favorite soups are the drunk tomato tortellini and chicken orzo. The BLT and meatball subs are excellent too but really you can't go wrong here, can't say enough good things about it. The delivery option is excellent too if you are in their area. When my wife and I got COVID we got soup delivered every day and it was huge toward helping us feel better and not have to leave the house.

Though they did not have, or I missed a way to pay so it could be truly easy and fast and simple. Got the text l, another cool feature, and the estimated time the food would be ready. I got their a few minutes early and drove into al lot with no directions re call in, online etc. Lots of folks milling around. Got out go in and a line, sort of, but everyone was good social distance and wearing masks. All good. Waited waited waited...now 15 minutes past the estimated time, but they were busy! So, I call and check in, and met with a very cheerful voice who told me my order was "next". Four orders later and a another 15..I get my food. Please and all packaged. Got home and are. Chicken salad was bland and tomato was a green house and not appetizing. Cobb salad plentiful but cold cuts, a couple small pieces of bacon and a little half egg..but onion, so much onion. Bought two soups, tried one, the beef barley tasty. Oh, I guess they forget the chips I ordered. So this really should be a 2 but they were pleasant, online was good, hoping they do well as they work on the service process.

We saw a large number of people doing takeout, especially pizzas and ice cream to go. We did not try these items, but they seem to be very popular. The clam strips were perfectly fried. Not greasy. The batter was flavorful. The portions were great for the price. We felt like we got a really good value. The coleslaw and the tartar sauce tasted homemade, which was a super bonus. The coleslaw was balanced with a hint of pickle. The tartar sauce was very dill forward and lemony, which we liked. The lobster roll was very good. You have not lived life until trying a lobster roll on the east coast. And this one was perfect. Everything was hot and an appropriate temperature. Perfect balance of flavor with good chunks of lobster. I saw the chef melting the garlic and the butter for the garlic knots. Everything is made fresh to order. I would've happily waited twice as long for the quality of food that we received. It was great! This is such a hidden gym. We are definitely coming back.

There are two dining rooms, some outdoor seating as well as counter service. We were lucky enough to grab seats at the counter, and honestly, I think that was the best place to sit! We got to watch the bartenders making all the creative beverages. Every time a dish went by, I found myself thinking, "Oh, that looks great!" And seeing what the people sitting next to us were ordering only made us want to come back and try even more of the menu! The staff was wonderful, and a special shout-out to our wait/bartender, Michael, who made the experience even more enjoyable. The menu offers a fantastic variety of egg dishes and elevated breakfast options. How about shrimp and grits with a biscuit with eggs on top or homemade beef hash? They even had a catfish rancheros . The cocktail menu caught our attention, too. They have great drink specials, which we couldn't resist trying! I love when a restaurant puts a little extra effort into presentation, and Bella's Café delivered. The Bloody Mary was delicious, complete with a spicy rim, while the cider sangria was served with a cinnamon-sugar rim that made it feel like Fall in a glass! Now, let's talk about the food! We ordered the Bananas Foster French Toast, which came in a generous portion and was full of flavor. I also tried the Sweet Potato Pancakes topped with cinnamon cream cheese butter cream, and salted pecan caramel sauce. These pancakes were incredible! Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and the portions were so huge that we couldn't finish everything. We also ordered a side of breakfast sausage to round out the meal. Plump fat links that were juicy and porky. If you don't eat pork, they have several other options of sausage with chicken. Between the comfortable atmosphere, engaging counter seating, friendly service, creative cocktails, and delicious food, Bella Ga Café made a fantastic impression on us. There were so many tempting dishes coming out of that kitchen that we already have a list of things we'd like to try on our next visit!

The biggest setback for us was the service. Our server wasn't very attentive and spent the entire time conversing with every other couple (and we were the only gay people there so it felt discriminatory dare we say?). He didn't check on us, didn't offer us drinks and didn't talk to us at all, but everyone else was getting a laugh and a chuckle out of him. There were also very very minor microaggressions we noticed but they were so micro, we didn't really feel as though we could say anything. The place is very cute though, it has a nice cutesie vibe. Unfortunately, we likely won't be back. Our general ratings: Food- 8.3 Service- 2.5 Comeback ability- 1.5
