"5 stars for the staff! Everyone was very attentive and friendly! I gotta say these were probably the most uncomfortable chairs I've ever sat in! Unless you were very small, you couldn't lean back on them because of the design. There was a very nice drink selection, including a good amount of mocktails, but I just don't understand why a mocktail is $10? The food was ok, but pricey. I had the 3 cauliflower. The cauliflower steak was a bit tough and tasted like it had too much soy. The fried cauliflower and the cauliflower rice was just ok. I also had the buratta caprese which had tomato slices marinated in a dark balsamic. Soaking them in the vinegar was just too much and made them inedible IMO. The cheese was on top of a bed of arugula which was sitting in a puddle of a white balsamic reduction. I'm a big fan of balsamic but this was just too much. Overall I'd give it a 3.5 and not really sure if I would return."

"Eating here was an EXPERIENCE, I was in foodie heaven! The server knew just the right beer to suggest, for the appetizer I said "surprise me," and I was happily surprised with the rice tots! As a vegetarian, I never have as many amazing choices as Café 36, it was hard to choose! The aubergine bolognese was fabulous, with a generous portion that will allow me to enjoy it for lunch tomorrow! My friend got the margarita pizza, and LOVED it! Usually not a fan of the dough, she loved how tasty and crunchy the pizza crust was! I got the mesculun greens salad as well, whoa, so tasty & fresh!! My friend had the baby spinach salad and was blissed out! To top it all off was an out-of-this-world dessert: raspberry fluff with baked meringue over stracciatella gelato. The service was perfect, (the waiter Adam was easy on the eyes, too.) It was a comfortable place to dine, the other patrons seemed to know each other (repeat guests!) like a best-kept neighborhood secret. This has to be in the top 2 of "best meals ever!" Hats off to the owner, the chef, sous chef, the manager, the server, Café 36, you rock the whole damn state!!!! Thank you for such a lovely experience! We'll be back!"

"At first this place is hard to get to. It is part of a grocery store. The sign says "Market and Cafe". Once you go in you make two quick lefts. You can either take the stairs or the elevator. It is a smaller cafe but there is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is only for parties of 2 because of the narrow patio. Everything was great at our visit. The food was delicious and high quality. The flavors were outstanding. My husband had the walleye and with corn and mushrooms. I never tasted a mushroom that good. I had a salad with chicken and that was delicious too. My husband also had the rhubarb cheesecake. He said it was the best cheesecake he ever had. Our waitress, Jeanie, who was excellent, said their chef makes it homemade from scratch. They also have items that are gluten free including dessert. The only thing that could be better was since the cafe is small their bathrooms are located in the grocery store below. The bathroom room was very clean and the market downstairs also has high quality and organic foods."

"Pizza was nice. One of the few places in Kalamzoo that serve brick oven pizza. It was light and not over the top. I do feel the size was smaller than other pizza places for the price we paid. But the place looks more suitable for date or a sophisticated dinner with colleagues. The only other dinners I saw were nicely dressed and apparantly no student like me was in sight."

"One thumb's up, one thumb's down. My partner had an Asian style dish he said was perfect. Pizza was very disappointing. Mostly crust (an extra 1.5 " all around) with a bare smear of tomato and no mozzarella. I r"
