Go here often for lunch as it is within walking distance of my office. Â The food is wonderful with interesting specials every day. (Favorite ever was a homemade whole wheat bread topped with hummus, portabello and red peppers over arugula - hope they repeat this one soon!) Â There are always 4-6 fresh soups to choose from, as well, and usually 2 or more of them are vegetarian. Â I also love their iced tea. Â The only reason for 4 stars is that the prices are a bit high...but it is Summit, after all!
Review Source:First visit here left us very disappointed. Â My wife and I each ordered the Combo Soup and Salad. Â Believe it or not a 1/2 salad and small portion of soup with a fountain diet coke came to $36 for the two of us. Â Talk about sticker shock. Â The same thing is $20-25 at any other similar type of deli/sandwich shop.
The soup and salad were both very good, but this was absolutely one of the worst values we had ever experienced. Â The way their pricing works, it would have been cheaper to buy a full salad and soup vs the Combo, which makes absolutely no sense. Â
No refills on the soda, salad served in tippy throwaway plastic bowls that were difficult to eat from due to their instability. Â Simply not even close to competitive with other delis/Panaera Bread type of places.
The owner needs to rethink their menu pricing. Â Until a significant change is made, the Batavia Cafe is simply a very poor value.
