Every time I’ve gone into Cafe Lark the staff has been super friendly. It doesn’t matter the time of day, they’re always happy and very helpful. I mean I’ve been there at 7 in the morning and they had big smiles on their faces. The food is absolutely delicious. A personal favorite of mine is Pimmento Grilled Cheese sandwich. In fact, I’ve started to go down the menu to try all of it in order to confirm my theory that there is not a bad meal on there. The atmosphere is also super comfy. The small space adds to the cafe environment, but the tables are spaced well enough that you’re not elbow to elbow with other patrons (looking at Starbucks). Finally I’d like to add that they’re doing all sorts of promotions and deals that really give incentive to frequent them more. There are a few reviews that claim this isn’t a good establishment but if you read those reviews the negativity comes from things that the staff can’t control. They’re doing a great job and I can see this business flourishing!

Quaint coffee shop with breakfast and lunch items. Not a large selection but well made and tasty.

So many delicious options to choose from! I had the Chipotle Chicken on naan and it was incredible. Friendly and personable staff, local, and a perfect place to grab lunch! Will return to try breakfast ASAP! So happy to have a place like this close to home.

I tried the Chipotle Chicken sandwich and it was quite good. It was in a kind of soft nan bread. I got a bite of my kid's grilled cheese, and it was good as well. The bread was crunchy without being dry.

The breakfast and lunch options are so fresh and delicious. You can tell they take pride in providing quality food. The staff is super friendly and helpful. And the weekend cinnamon rolls are freaking amazing!! And I would just ignore the poor reviewer that hasn't even stepped foot in the door and refuses to even give a great place like this a fighting chance yet feels like they need to be so negative.
