1st Street Cafe — Restaurant in Leechburg

After reading the many positive reviews, we were anxious to give First Street Cafe a try. Our experience was very disappointing. After ordering, it took more than 30 minutes for our food to be served. (Our order included soup, salads, and an open faced turkey sandwich - nothing too demanding.) I ordered a Chicken Caesar Salad. After several minutes, the server appeared to tell me there was no romaine lettuce. I ordered a different salad - not a big deal. My boyfriend ordered the open faced turkey sandwich. He was offered chips, fries, or tater tots with his sandwich. He ordered fries but was brought chips instead. When he pointed this out to the server, she brought him an order of fries after a few minutes. They were tasteless. The turkey on the open faced turkey sandwich appeared to be deli sliced turkey and was heated in such a way that it was very tough and difficult to cut. When the check arrived, there was an upcharge for the fries that hadn't been mentioned by the server. My boyfriend had to leave the table to find the server to refill our water glasses.

The baked goods are to DIE for 🤤The salted caramel chocolate chip cookie... HEAVENLY. If you are anything like me, I am SO particular about my coffee I usually struggle with "hometown" coffee shops.

When I tell you I am particular, I mean there is no changing my pallet USUALLY🤔. 1st street has converted me from a chain store coffee Conosur to a local, small town, small business lov'n newb☕ This will be a REGULAR stop of mine from now on🍪☕🍵. And, don't even get me started on the charm and warm, welcoming atmosphere of the place 😍. They also have venue rental 🤩with tons of amenities for you! So, if you're from the area or just visiting.... This...

Food was fantastic, atmosphere was open and bright, just about everybody checked on me at some point. Everyone was so kind and you can tell they care about the people who come there; they want to do well and stick around!

There was, however, a serious urgency about me going to the machine to pay, almost as if they're afraid people will just walk out and not pay if they are there too long. I just chugged the rest of my mocha and left because it felt like I was being kicked out.

If somebody could explain that to me, though, I'd greatly appreciate it. It wouldn't have made a difference if I just sat and finished my mocha then paid later on... ;(

I just kind of put a sour note on...
