Looks like there's a ton of self produced "reviews" here. Shame because I'd rely much more readily in a realistically quick "good food" prop than a page long dissertation....Happy customers are usually brief. Unhappy customers tend towards greater detail.

Stopped in on a 12 degree day with my daughter. The previous tenant had failed and, being a supporter of local business, we decided to try the new place out. It was like one of those hidden camera shows. It looked like a regular cafe. Tables, menu's, staff, but it was set up like a take out place. They have a long, cluttered counter that reminded me of  and "order here" "pick-up here" kind of setup without any signs. The few patrons seemed happy enough but it seemed ...sterile, didn't even have an aroma of something cooking.  Not one word of welcome from the staff as we eventually decided to take a table. 10 minutes later we're still sitting there....waitress making table stops doesn't even look our way. So we figure we order at the counter.....stand there for 5 minutes, nothing.....a couple of sideways glances from the half dozen folks wandering around behind the counter trying to look busy but still not even a "welcome to Marie's" much less a smile. All the trouble of dressing the place up and not a clue. But at least the pie's always good at Baker's Square right down the road. ...half-assed apathy as a business model...shame.
Two recent lunches at Marie's make me wish I lived a little closer. An excellent place to stop in, relax, and try some amazing food. The menu is consistently packed with daily specials, and cafe staples. Soup, salad, sandwiches, you can't go wrong. Signature and do-it-yourself burgers look mouth-watering; unfortunate for my vegetarian diet. That being said, they have something for every taste; even the pickiest eaters will find something to their delight. Cooked fresh, made to order, everything we've tried so far has been superb. Roasted Veggie Salad and Mediterranean Veggie Wraps have been excellent; both fresh and packed with all the veg your heart could possibly desire. Married with goat cheese and kalamata olives, the Med Wrap was definitely a crowd pleaser. Â It's easy to see why Marie's gets such high marks...they really know what they're doing. Prices are fair, staff is friendly, decent location, and comfortable atmosphere and decor. Definitely worth stopping in for lunch; no question we'll be back.
