“ Really fantastic. We ordered pick up having never tried this place and we were incredibly happy with our meals. I had the chili and the Italian wrap. The chile was flavorful and with a nice liquid texture. That means it hasn't been sitting for days and getting thicker and clumpy. They offered onions and cheese which were perfect for the container size (which was a bit small, to be honest). The Italian wrap was delicious. They have a very distinctive oil and vinegar combo they use on their Italian sandwiches and it is perfect. The side of pickle went perfectly. The club my partner ordered was like a grilled panini but on pita bread. What a great choice. Less bread and more chance for the flavors of the fillings to stand out. I also had a fresh squeezed lemon-lime lemonade with iced tea combo (Arnold Palmer). Fantastic. Neither too sweet or tart like a lot of fresh lemonades. The staff was super friendly both while placing the order on the phone and when picking up. If we make it back to Royal Oak again, we will be giving this place more of our business. Excellent place. Can't wait to try their tomato soup. ”
“ So cute and so delicious. The shop itself is adorable, with cute art and staff is so nice and friendly. Soup is delicious and I love the rotating schedule - they post online the flavors for the week so you can always plan out your visit. And sandwiches are delicious too. Would definitely recommend. Everything I've tried has been delicious. They expanded the sitting area from previously so there are more tables, or it's delicious for takeout. Will definitely be back. ”
“ This place is amazing!! My husband and I love to order lunch from here! Everything is delicious! It truly always hits the spot! So happy for this place. They always seem to be busy during the lunch hours! Happy for them! My go to order is the skinny Jimmy! Really recommend it! Their soups rotate, all are delicious! ”
“ Stopped here for a quick lunch pickup while I was in the area. They have homemade soup that changes daily (also posted on their website). I went in for a lunch combo: sandwich, chips, and drink. All for under $10 which is unheard of these days. I got a hot sandwich - the Turkey grill - bbq chips and an Arnold Palmer. The sandwich had their house sauce on it which seemed to be an herby yogurt sauce and was delicious. The staff were friendly and the place is super cute and kitschy inside. Meal took a few minutes since it's made to order but was worth the wait. I will definitely be coming back for more with the prices they have. Super convenient free street parking out front too! ”
“ I tried The Lunch Cafe for the first time for lunch. I was so impressed! The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. They were super helpful in recommending different sandwiches to try. The Lunch Cafe is a cute place that I would recommend trying. ”
“ What a gem! Great prices and I'm especially happy that there are plenty of gluten free options for the sandwiches and the soups! The gluten free bread is house made, and it's one of the best gluten free bread I've ever had. ”
