avenue cafe

"Food establishments are required to have a customer bathroom. At SUBWAY across the street people behind the counter would not give me the key after looking at each other for a few minutes they said it was out of order. Bought my food at this AMAZING cafe and paid roughly the same amount . The food was sooooo good, the service was AWESOME, the vibe was nice and we enjoyed it! SUBWAY'S loss was our gain!"

"Great cafe, great food, great service and perfect location for people watching on St Charles. Everything is very fresh with vegan/vegetarian options. They serve a variety of sandwiches, salads, fresh-squeezed juices, pastries, fresh fruit, mimosas, blood Mary’s, irish coffees and amazing coffee! (amongst many other options) My personal favorite is the caprese sandwich and I add bacon for a bit more protein paired with a caramel oat milk latte and for dessert one the BEST muffins ever (They offer chocolate and blueberry) The baristas working are warm and welcoming and can easily accommodate for allergies and gluten/dairy intolerances. They offer oat and almond milk for nondairy. The best local coffee and pastries on this side of town. They sell t-shirts, tote bags and whole bags of coffee. There are even free stickers by the register! Everything at this cafe is super organized and curated for the guests use. (One of the cleanest public bathrooms ever on this side of town) The service counter has many sugar options and milks available for “dressing” your coffee as you like it. Also was very glad to see that this business recycles and composts, it is very eco-friendly business! This cafe is very well managed!! The atmosphere is here is wonderful, you can meet up with friends, come and sit and work on school work etc. There is plenty of space for accommodating larger groups as well! This cafe is right next to a streetcar stop and many hotels for convenience. I love this cafe 10/10- you have to stop by here if you find yourself on St Charles Ave!!"

"Food is delicious and the best customer service in the city in my personal opinion. Even through uber eats and door dash; they wrap everything securely. A must place to eat."

"Everything was delicious! We had coffee, Gruyère and onion brioche, an almond croissant, blueberry muffin, and the ham and potato frittata. Nothing was left!"

"This is my second time reviewing Avenue Cafe. First time I’ve tried their curry chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad was flavorful with crunchy bits of celery. It was good but it could have used a little salt and pepper, which I added. The croissant was buttery and soft and the chips were super crunchy. I also ordered a raspberry tea which was really refreshing! I got my lunch to-go but would have eaten in the restaurant if I’d had more time. I like the quiet atmosphere and the big picture windows that are perfect for watching the passersbyers on St. Charles. Will absolutely be back to enjoy their breakfast and lunch items!"
