I really wanted to love this place! I came here for a business lunch. Our server was very nice and…read moreefficient! I ordered the margherita panini with a side of coleslaw. The coleslaw had a rather large chunk of cabbage core on top of my portion cup, right away I knew it wasn't house made. Okay so I removed that, still excited to try the coleslaw but as I forked it I noticed the dressing had a weird texture. I smelled it and tasted it and as suspected it was about to turn. No more coleslaw for me. The panini which sounded excellent was weird. I'm just not sure why it didn't taste good with all of those wonderful ingredients. And although I'm not positive, I suspect that the chicken breast wasn't an actual chicken breast. It was an interesting texture and flavor, kind of like chicken at a theme park where it's more like a patty instead of cut right off the ribs like you would find in the grocery store. This was just an off putting food experience unfortunately. My lunch mate said that the home fries were really good and he appreciated that they gave him gluten free toast at no up charge, though he said the bread was soggy, which is an interesting comment to make about toast. He said the omelette was an omelette.

Second time here and worth the 25 min drive from home…read more Four of us enjoyed breakfast at 10:00 am. Breakfasts included-- Chocolate-stuffed Belgium waffle (too sweet for my taste but enjoyed by my granddaughter), Greek Omelet, and Kentucky Benedict. Each of us was pleased with the quality of the food, the excellent service, and the variety of choices on the menu in addition to the creative specials offered. Server was friendly, efficient, attentive, and helpful in making choices. Coffee was very good and refilled promptly. We will return soon and have one of their creative sounding lunch offerings.

Great salads, crepes, soup and teas were enjoyed by three of us. It was extremely busy and we were told by our server that some of the food might take a little longer-which it did-but nothing crazy.

VEGAN REVIEW It's…read morelike having a meal at your great aunt's house. Seriously, it's like someone's living room. Some will call it cozy. Others will call it chaotic. No one would say it's formaL or even uncluttered... I had the vegan spare ribs (I think?). One person working there with a massive menu & minimal cooking area. I was the only person there the whole time so it worked out fine, but I can't imagine what would happen if they actually had a lot of customers??? Anyway, my meal was yummy. I took a piece of apple pie to go but dropped it :( CASH ONLY

You can't take a look at this menu and find nothing of interest. If I you put a Cheesecake Factory menu and put inside by side with the Moon & River Cafe menu they might have the same amount of items. The biggest difference would be the price. Moon & River is serving up incredibly affordable food. The offer Breakfast, lunch, and remain open well into the evening for dinner. This is a great stop for a quick to go lunch or breakfast or sit down in the afternoon with a snack and a cup of coffee as you settle in for a good book or play a game with some friends. In the corner it looks like there are some grocery items for sale. Our friends ordered turkey meatballs and tacos, and my wife and I ordered vegan nachos (we should have asked for vegan cheese which is available) that was topped with beans, salsa, and guacamole, but no cheese. My TLT was good but I don't think it was a smoky tempeh bacon, maybe just plain? My Lavender soda was good and pie with vegan icecream for dessert was great. Two vegans and two non-vegans approve, Moon & River Cafe is definitely worth checking out. Affordable plant-based vegan items and regular menu items for everyone else made with care and feeling. They totally deserve 5 stars for variety and effort but I am gonna give it a four because I think the a second person working, and a kitchen upgrade paired with a simplified menu during the open mic crowd could really help out. We will be going back to try something new.
