The Local Cafe – Great food and great potential

I love the food.  I’ve been twice now and the pizzas are among the best in town, and a pretty good deal too at around $12.  My favorite is the one with all the mushrooms and cheese… a masterpiece!  I also liked the fruit-infused water.  At first I was put off by the price ($3) but after the first drink I stopped complaining.  There’s so much fruit in there that it’s practically an appetizer.
So here’s what I don’t like:  Eating this great food in the small, white and very sterile restaurant.  It’s rather like being in a doctor’s waiting room.  The first time I drove to this restaurant was for dinner one night, and the garish light and whiteness spilling out of the front door was so uninviting that my friend and I kept driving.  Thankfully I went back that weekend for lunch.

Hopefully they just haven’t decided how to decorate it yet so it’s a work in progress.  Their wonderful food deserves to be served in a much more warm and inviting atmosphere!  Until then I’ll grab my pizza to go.
