It’s a nice, small café in downtown Alexandria. There’s seating available inside and out. It definitely reminds me of the kind of small town café I grew up going to where the staff is super friendly and personable! You can tell the community loves them by the amount of to-go orders and customers that are on first-name basis with the staff. There’s also artwork for sale inside!

A little jewel tucked away in downtown Alexandria. The menu is small and the focus lies on creating delicious food. I’ve tried the BLT and Cuban (pictured) sandwiches, and look forward to going back and sampling burritos and salads. Definitely worth your while if you find yourself in the neighborhood and crave something fresh!

Great little spot with awesome tacos, sandwiches and specials in a cool historic storefront. Great flavors, great quality and good portions – all courtesy of Brad, the owner. While you’re there, check out the local art for sale on the walls.

Cleanest cafe in downtown Alex. Great food, the chef is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Lots of local and New Orleans art on the walls- some for sale. Pictured is the Mediterranean panini and past salad.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Cafe DeSoto! Everything was fresh & cooked to order. The roasted butternut squash was to die for! The service was wonderful & the prices were reasonable. Thank you for a great meal & a nice time!

Stopped in after a few years away, as good as ever. One of my favorite cafes anywhere. Gumbo, tacos, burgers, quesadillas. Love it all.

This place is great! My map took me to Tamp and Grind but I quickly figured out that I needed to go around the corner. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was great. My only complaint is that they don’t have any high chairs for kids

What a surprise to find a lunch spot that hit the spot! While we were waiting for our Tesla car to charge, we walked into this humble restaurant around the corner. I had their special for the day, Gumbo; my husband had the Cuban sandwich, and our little boy had the grilled cheese. There was not one crumb left on any our plates. There was a steady flow of folks coming in and out for their lunch break. Nice artwork for sale on the walls. Clean bathroom. Service with a friendly smile. Now, they were running low on plain potato chips, but not anyone’s fault…it happens. Will stop again if we ever do another re-charge through this town.
