4 out of 5 Forks

Café 4 is an elegant dining venue in downtown Market Square, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. All sandwiches and burgers come with a choice of the following options:  housemade fries, housemade chips, fresh fruit, or spring mix with house vinaigrette. Breakfast items can be served with fresh fruit, roasted potatoes, grits, or oatmeal. All of Café 4’s menus can be found online.

Angie:  I ordered the Braised Short Rib and Grilled Cheese sandwich off of the brunch menu. This sandwich included a red onion marmalade and cheddar cheese, and was served on wheatberry bread. I chose the spring mix with house vinaigrette as my side. The sandwich was delicious, and the salad was pretty good, but the only vegetables served on the salad were 3 tomatoes! Next time, I will probably opt for the fresh fruit instead :)

Elizabeth:  I also ordered from the Brunch menu, and chose the Breakfast Sandwich. Being a vegetarian, I find I have more options available to me for breakfast/brunch options, especially using eggs as my protein choice. This particular breakfast sandwich had spinach, gruyere cheese and an egg served on my choice of a buttery croissant or bagel (I chose the wheat bagel). I had the choice of fresh fruit, roasted potatoes, grits or oatmeal as my side, and I went with the fruit. The sandwich wasn’t the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had, but it was very flavorful and plenty big (I ended up taking half home for later). The fresh fruit was excellent – a wider selection than most restaurants offer.

We were at Café 4 during the Mardi Growl event at Market Square, so there were plenty of dressed-up dogs, big and small, to watch through the windows for mealtime entertainment!
