Went for lunch with friends. We picked it off Google maps because it was close by and good reviews. But I must admit to being a little sceptical when we were walking up to it - looks a bit dinghy from the outside. We went in and we did not regret it. We were warmly welcomed by staff. The seating is comfortable and spacious, no squeezing between tables. The menu had plenty of choices all of them great. The food was really well presented and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. Coffee 10/10 even the decaf! We'll definitely put this place on our favorites list.

This coffee shop is near where I work. I happened to pass by today and bought a soy latte. The flavor was rich and very delicious. A medium cup costs 6 dollars—not cheap, but understandable given the rising prices, and still acceptable.

My daughter Hannah and I absolutely love the food and customer service at Cafe Squared. If I could give 10 STARS I would. Fresh, very tasty, fast to serve. My fav are the corn fritters and the breakfast burger. You definitely have to check out Cafe Squared.
