Farmhouse Café — Restaurant in Hollister

At 11:30, we just beat the lunch rush we're every table of the small room was filled. It was a convivial group. Place your order at the counter. But it took an extraordinary long amount of time for the food to be delivered when it was a soup and salad and a sandwich with no bread. The potato leek soup had Bean skins in it like it was actually the potato kale bean soup but pretty indistinguishable flavor. It was more comfy texture than delicious taste. My friend had a roast beef sandwich that had no bread. They were supposed to bring the bread on the side because the soup and salad really need some sort of crust, crostini or cracker. The sandwich was not plated very appetizingly. Just squares of lettuce iceberg chunked on top, covering everything. Seemed to be a couple thin slices of meat inside with red peppers and pesto. She said it was tasty but it was not visually appealing I must say.

Downtown Hollister is still striving for an identity. The concept of the restaurant is terrific it just needs perfecting. And much better...

A bit overpriced for what you get. $11 for a sandwich that is worth $7 in my opinion. I know rent must be high in downtown Hollister. I've never had the soups or salads here so cannot confirm their quality, but the sandwiches are average. I got the reuben today, and the meat and cheese were cold. I've had many a reuben from Alabama to Texas to everywhere in between, and never have they been cold. The quality of the products are there (bread, meat, cheese), but they need some work/TLC with preparations. People are friendly, and the cookies...

My family used Farmhouse Cafe catering for our mom's 90th birthday party. They did such a beautiful job integrating their delicious recipes with a few of our family's favorites. Everyone loved the food and the presentation.

The next day we got boxed lunches for a picnic. Again, beautiful presentation and everyone raved about the sandwiches. So fresh and delicious!

We would definitely work with Farmhouse again...
