Today, the wifey and I decided to enjoy a nice lunch out. Destination: Cafe Antigua.
The moment we entered, we were greeted and treated with smiles and a, "welcome to Cafe Antigua", before being led to our table. So far so good. The area was nice and clean. Once seated, our waiter, Juan Carlos dropped in on us. He was awesome! Easygoing, sense of humor and attentive, exactly what I like to see in customer service.
Juan Carlos brought us our drinks, and took our menus upon ordering. I won't speak for my wife, but I ordered 2 plates of the Nachos Locos, which was an appetizer. Juan Carlos informed me that it was BIG and that it perhaps better that I start with 1 plate. He was right. It was HUGE and you definitely get your money's worth. I also ordered the Churros and Plantanos en Gloria, which were amazing! Unfortunately, they'd run out of my favorite beverage, horchata, but I managed.
Juan Carlos made sure our drinks stayed topped off and our food was to our liking. His service was impeccable. In fact, everything about Cafe Antigua was exceptional, even up to when exited and again were met with smiles and a, "thank you for coming". I'm pretty sure we'll be back. I'd highly recommend Cafe Antigua for your...
Read moreI had been wanting to go here for quite awhile and finally got the chance. I was hesitant after seeing the menu because I had no idea of vegan options. The quality of the food is good and fresh here.The coffee was yummy. They had almond, soy, or coconut milk options for people like moi! I had a cafe con leche. The cookie is most likely not vegan so my friend had that! The server knew what vegan meant an immediately told me about their vegan option. I didn't understand it all came together as a salad though. It was rice, black beans, avocado, and lettuce. So it was Iike a big salad. It was fresh and tasted really good. I just wasn't in the mood for one more salad! They had the food out faster than anywhere I've been that is a restaurant and not a fast food place! The parking was 2 hour pay to park in the front and a really small section on the side where cars were parking right behind other cars which blocked them in. I'm not sure why that's even a thing that's happening. The interior is no fuss table and chairs. The server was nice and really busy as most places are short of staff these days! I don't know that I'll be back often or soon as the options are limited here for me. But it was a good place for a...
Read moreOkay so the service is really really really bad. You get your food chaotically like one person received their food before we got our coffee or appetizer and then had to start eating before anyone else received theirs so it didn’t get cold. Then you get the app. One coffee. The other entree and then finally the other coffee. That being said….the food and coffee are incredible. Just be forewarned you will have to forego anytime of rhyme or reason to the deliver of your order.
I’m editing my review. The first time I ate here they were super busy. I expected that was why the service was lacking and chaotic however today they weren’t very busy and yet we sat without any contact from any employee for about 15 minutes or longer before having to go to the hostess stand to track down our server. Once again we received half our drink order and our appetizers before our table even had water or the rest of our coffee order. Then less than five minutes later our entire food order arrived without time to even enjoy our apps or coffee. Our eggs were over cooked to the point of being hard boiled. I definitely don’t think the food is worth the service and the another was almost not even cooked and even the...
