Fedora Cafe has entrances at both the front (street) side and the back (parking lot) side. Since we always use the lot, we come in through the back, and enter next to the kitchen. As you enter the Cafe proper, the first thing you see is a dessert case filled with a wide assortment of tarts, cakes, cookies, and other things bad for you. This is the main reason we come here. Which is a shame, because
when we do eat at Fedora, we are always plesantly surprised at the quality of the simple meals that are available. Excellent panini. A mouth watering smell of garlic. And of course, being a cafe, plenty of (non-alcoholic) drink selections. All of this in a friendly neighborhood cafe, with a relaxed atmosphere. A great place to go for a satisfying meal with friends.    [30 Aug 2003 16:59:26]

Dissapointed
My family and I used to go to Fedora on a regular basis, however in the last year and a half or so the quality seems to have gone down hill. The pastry has not changed since they opened and the Menu options have become boring and very plain. My wife and I went there for the great and creative choices offered which changed on a regular basis, which always left us looking foward to the next time, that isn't the case anymore. I used to go for lunch but the daytime workers seem to be very edgy and snappy. It was once a place to bring a client to impress him, now I steer away.    [23 Sep 2003 00:11:13]

Beautiful Pastries
I work for a major financial company and we only use Fedora's. Their pastries are to die for!    [31 Mar 2004 09:15:15]

Simply Brilliant
I really enjoy the casual, friendly atmosphere and the unusual, but exciting designs located inside the cafe. When I am in a theatre production, we always have the cast party there. Reliable, courteous staff, excellent food, and a great place to be.    [10 May 2004 17:27:56]

Decent food, surly owners
The food is decent here and and the wait staff are generally pleasant. But for the life of me I can't understand why the owners of the place are so grouchy all the time. It'd be nice if they smiled while taking your money.    [27 Aug 2006 18:06:52]

Great Breakfast!
The food is creative and very tasty. The cafe atmosphere is relaxed and we enjoy this kind of casual dining experience. Some of the staff are more often than not "edgy" and this does take away from what would be an otherwise positive experience. There is an unpredictable nature to whether one will be greeted and served well or feel like an unwanted guest and nuisance. So much work and thought went into everything... the emotional disconnect is hard to understand.    [08 Mar 2007 13:32:49]

If you love desserts
Fedora has the absolute best desserts in the area! Nicole seems to change her dessert options with the season. The carrot cake is one of the best I have tasted and the ooey gooey chocolate a must for chocoholics. Sandwiches are also very good and everything always tastes fresh! At times the interior looks a little dirty and service can be slow when busy.    [15 Apr 2007 12:58:39]

Great Little Place!
I was visiting on business from California and this quickly became one of my favorite places. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, inexpensive -- just a great time all around.    [25 Apr 2007 18:58:06]

Really bad
The worst chicken club sandwich I have ever had. Old bread with pieces of chicken half frozen from the fridge. Lettuce at least week old.

I was there long time ago and deterioration is very clear - have owners changed?

Lousy coffee and sad depressed guy (owner?) at the counter...    [02 Jul 2007 23:22:47]
