We stopped in for lunch. My son got the special, jerk pulled pork wrap with potato salad. Other kids got build your own omelet and the crane (kind of like a crunch wrap burger) with Mac salad. Hubby got a buffalo version of the crane and I got the triple decker with salad. Not a huge fan of the dressing on the salad but the Mac salad and potato salad were both very good. The triple decker was huge and I had to pass it off to the others to be finished. Staff was very friendly and even helped us arrange some seating as they don't have a lot of dine in seating. We also got treats from the dessert case- PB cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, maple pecan pie, nutter butter cheesecake, and a giants chocolate chip cookie. All were really good except the PB cheesecake, just very rich and not very sweet. Would definitely go again!

I love few things in this world more than I love this place. I’m not even from here but I take the train into town a lot and I make sure to stop here every time. Food is always delicious, lattes are always delicious, staff is always wonderful and friendly.

Staff person would not allow us to use their restroom after we had already ordered food, despite this being an eat-in restaurant, and there is no public bathroom anywhere nearby. Restaurants adjacent were closed. Staff said that the arcade across the street does not allow people to use the bathroom and directed him to walk to the train station three blocks away. He walked there while I waited and our food came. But the Amtrak staff told him he couldn’t use the bathroom there without buying a ticket. He called me from there and I pleaded with the Take Two staff person to let him use the bathroom. She acknowledged that they have a restroom but declined to allow him to use it. She suggested the library, which was a 7 minute walk in the other direction. He started off but couldn’t make it, and ended up stopping at the Burger King, where they graciously allowed him to use their restroom. He came back 20 minutes after our food was served, at which point the food was cold and we were subsequently late for our appointment. What about people with disabilities, or those with medical issues? If you know there is no restroom anywhere nearby, just let people use your bathroom. Or you can partner with another facility in the same building to offer theirs.

The bb-q burger my son got was good. The Mac n cheese was so-so. Seems Velveeta cheese. Now the Crane crunch I got wrap was too thin to be charging 16 dollars with that poor of quality meet. Taco Bell style and flavor. Gave me the worst upset stomach. I should have just went to Taco Bell and saved myself a few dollars.

By far best pastrami sandwich and breakfast sandwiches around. Chelsea is immensely talented and kind just like Syd and Adam and they just make you feel at home. I eat here multiple times a week And I’m never disappointed

I visited Take Two Cafe recently to have lunch with friends. I got the buffalo mac and cheese wrap, I believe I ordered the mac salad but got potato salad but I didn't mind either way. Seating was limited so we did look for another place to sit. I think everyone was happy with their meals. We're not vegans, but I think everyone was pleasantly suprised by how much they liked it.
