"I get food from here frequently as I work in the building. Have never had a bad experience. The food is made well and you get a good bang for your buck. Today was buffalo bites and provalone sticks. Both were fantastic!"

"This place is excellent. We had the best wedding soup that I have ever had... I also had a turkey sandwich that was terrific. It was dressed perfectly with Italian dressing, lettuce and tomato. They have an extensive menu for a cafe. I wish that I lived closer, The North Shore Cafe would be on my list of frequent stops. You guys rock!"

"Good food and a great lunch spot for those of us in the area of the Cardello building. The cafe is on the second floor and has outdoor seating as well ample indoor space. It offers catering and has daily specials. The menu selection is great and pricing is fair. The only knock is the food can be hit or miss at times and drink refills are not free."

"This place is a little tough to get to, but if you work in the area and like to order lunch to-go then this place is amazing. The prices are fair, they have daily lunch specials, and the food is consistently great. I really enjoy the Buffalo Chicken wrap!"
