Chow Volunteer Park Cafe & Marketplace Open: Yay!
posted by on January 26 at 12:39 PM
For your weekend brunch consideration: Volunteer Park Cafe & Marketplace at 17th Ave E and E Galer St.
In charge: Ericka Burke, of well-deserved Carmelita fame. Breakfast/lunch/brunch only at this juncture. It is cute, they are very eager to please, and the food is very delicious. (Most likely a review coming soon in the actual paper will say exactly this, but in 50 times as many words.) For best results, get two things and go halvsies.
Yes, that is a giant pitcher of syrup. In other syrup news, the new La Spiga has an appetizer that falls pretty wonderfully in the breakfast-for-dinner category: grilled slices of thick mortadella, with aged balsamic acting as an improvement on our friend syrup, if such a thing is possible.
Cool. Hopefully their hours won't be as random as the deli that used to occupy this space.
this is one of my favorite places. I think I dropped in when they opened and even then it was cool! highly recommended, great people, good eats.
i had an amazing oxtail pot pie last week. and the wonderful owner let me take their little pie plate home so i could eat alone, then bring it back later. i thought that was classy, and trusting....
it was great!
Oh, my sweet lord Jesus!
Some more first person accounts. Most of the criticisms can be chalked up to typical opening issues. Welcome to the neighborhood VPCM.
This place has great food and potential, but is run very poorly. There is no system in place for delivering food, the cafe' is full of smoke from the panini grills, and it's simply an exercise in frustration trying to get one's food.
let's give these guys a break. they just opened and it takes every new place a little while to get into the groove. i think the food is awesome and the staff super friendly. glad to have them in the neighborhood.
Having worked in a cafe with panini grills.... they have be deceiving. You'd think they wouldnt smoke much but they do, badly. The health department should enforce vents for panini grils, bigtime.
