" I popped into Café Alice while exploring the area, and it was a delightful surprise! I had a turkey sandwich that was flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed—we could easily chat. Though the service was slightly slow, the quality of the food made up for it. I can see why this place is popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always have a good time when I eat at Café Alice. The food is consistently fresh, the ambiance is inviting, and I love that I can watch my food being prepared. The veggie burrito is particularly noteworthy; it’s hearty and full of flavor. Sometimes the lines get a bit long, especially during lunch, but it’s worth the wait. A great spot for any meal!

" Café Alice is such a cozy place with a wide selection of sandwiches and breakfast options. I recently had their turkey sandwich, and it was juicy and flavorful, served on freshly baked bread. The ambiance is inviting, perfect for a relaxing lunch. My only complaint would be the service, which was a bit rushed. I understand it's busy, but it's essential to feel valued as a customer. All in all, I would still recommend it for the great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a quite disappointing experience at Café Alice. While the place has great potential with its menu, I found the service lacking. The sandwich I ordered ended up being incorrect, and the staff didn't seem interested in resolving the issue. The food's freshness was evident; however, the experience soured due to poor service. I think there are better options around, but who knows, maybe they'll improve their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to dine at Café Alice during a recent business trip, and the experience was delightful. The egg and cheese on ciabatta is a must-try! I loved how they prepare everything right in front of you, ensuring freshness. The café was clean and aesthetically pleasing, making the meal all the more enjoyable. However, the server seemed a bit distracted. Nonetheless, I would recommend Café Alice to anyone looking for tasty food in a friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)
