Terra Café

Very solid good food first time here. Definitely will be back.

Stop in each visit to Mtown. Usually for a drink to go and cupcakes. 🧁 My first visit, I enjoyed picking a variety of cupcake flavors for a birthday celebration. Neither of my girls are big on heavy icing nor a straight whipped icing, but had to get them, they were gorgeous. Happily found the icing not too sweet and not the common whipped style. Well balanced. Only wish more varieties were available on subsequent visits though the clerk said the extra flavors are usually for high traffic weekends/holidays. I definitely understand that. They recommended calling ahead or checking their Web site for larger orders. Great treats if coming in to visit the college kids. Gift certificates available too.

Love coming here for the salads and baked goods! Quite a few gluten free options like flatbreads for sandwiches and treats (LOVE the pumpkin bar!) I never seem to catch a day that burgers are on special, but I hope to try them one day. I generally stick with the salads with fresh grilled chicken because some of the sandwiches are a deli style, and that’s not my preference. Definitely ask for the details when you order if you’re on the fence about what to order!

The food and coffee are spectacular at this café. Freshly prepared dishes and pastries on display. The coffee selection is very diverse and the presentation is tasteful. The prices for the coffee are we with in affordable and allows you to try several especially if you are a student working on a project. You can also get a local draft beer. The inside is decorated in local artists and information. There is outside seating that you can enjoy the sights of the rail trail and local park. My only criticism is the service, I have been there several times and had to wait over 15 minutes for some one to come to the counter to take an order. People would pass by but would not acknowledge those in line. They would serve you quickly then you not be able to find a person if you needed anything extra.

The lunch food was really good--between the three of us, our group had two salads and the salmon omega club which was quite tasty. We arrived at 11:30 and missed the breakfast options by an hour, which was sad. The desserts were actually a bit disappointing; they were absolutely gorgeous, just not very flavorful. And one cupcake was a bit dry. The key line pie, however, was delicious. The atmosphere was awesome. They seemed to have art up from local artists, I expect, available for purchase too. The service people were very friendly and helpful as well. Overall it was a really good experience!
