We went inside and were talking to who I am assuming is his wife, she took our order and said she would get them started. Albert came back very quickly and we paid. Both Albert and his wife were extremely kind and we were talking about where we came from and what we were there for. We waited outside for 5 minutes and then our food was taken to us. The food was excellent, I ordered a cheesesteak and the bread was super soft and the meat was hot and very tender. Probably one of the best cheesesteaks I've had (in California) and would 100% come back if I'm driving through Bridgeport. One of the best experiences I've had in service, 11/10.

Fresh off a Mercer Caverns tour, we stumbled onto this cute little spot and I'm so glad we stopped…read morein for lunch! We got there a bit before the lunch rush, so parking was a breeze. There's a handful of seats inside, but most of the action happens outside on the porch hence "Porch Cafe," of course. You order at the register, grab a number, and pick your spot. The decor is rustic and cozy in the best way. Total charm overload. The menu's right there by the register, and they've got sandwiches and salads, exactly what we were craving. Sandwiches come in full or half sizes, and I went with the half. It comes with a side, and I picked the Pesto Mac. It did not disappoint. I could've made a full meal out of just that. Drink-wise, they've got a solid lineup, alcoholic and non. I went full nostalgia with a Shirley Temple, and if you're a plain-water person, there's a self-serve station for that too. Our food came out fast, and the portions floored us, that "half" sandwich was anything but small. Generous doesn't even cover it. The staff sealed the deal - friendly all around, from the woman who took our order to whoever swung by to check on us and box up our leftovers. Such a gem for a laid-back lunch. Highly recommend!

They also make some of the best deli sandwiches around! We even spoke with one of the managers because we truly enjoy shopping here and hope to see one improvement in the deli department. The deli staff always acknowledge customers, which we appreciate, but the wait can be quite long because they continue finishing other tasks before helping the customer in line. We understand they have work to do, but it would be wonderful if serving waiting customers could be a higher priority. Since this is the only grocery store in the area, we hope the deli department can improve the wait times. We love this market and want to see it continue to thrive. With a little improvement in the deli service, it would be absolutely perfect. Thank you for listening to your customers!

The blonde girl working the deli counter is unbelievably rude and has absolutely no business…read moredealing with customers. I stop in here occasionally to pick up a sandwich and a few things before heading up into the mountains. The last couple of times I've been in, I've been waited on by the same employee. I treated her with nothing but kindness and respect, yet for some reason she treated me like I had personally done something to her. Her attitude was hostile, disrespectful, and completely uncalled for. The first time it happened, I was honestly baffled. Even her coworkers appeared shocked by the way she was speaking to and treating me. I figured maybe she was having a bad morning and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, on my next visit, the exact same thing happened with the exact same employee. Once again, I was polite to her, and once again she acted like she had some kind of personal vendetta against me. Her coworkers again seemed visibly uncomfortable with her behavior. At this point, I'm done spending my money here. I have no idea what this employee's problem is, but customers should not be treated this way--especially customers who have done absolutely nothing except walk in, be polite, and spend money at your business. Apparently, they don't need the business--or at least not mine.
