Chestnut Cafe

I Wanted to try a new place for lunch and decided to try this place based on Yelp reviews. I placed my order over the phone and pick up was fast and easy. The employees were very nice and the place was pretty busy. It was also very clean. I was originally going to give 4 stars because it's like a 3.5 for me but I don't really ever seeing myself go back here. The food wasn't so good, that it made me feel like, "yep, I've definitely gotta back". Unfortunately, it just didn't do that for me. The soup beef and veggie soup we ordered, livery had one cube of meat and maybe a couple slivers of celery. It was all broth. The tuna sandwich was thick and a little messy to eat but satisfactory to eat. The Italian grinder had good flavor but mostly bread and little on the meat. The food was hot and definitely fresh though!

This was the best customer service and great atmosphere, I walked in and there wasn't anyone, but a few minutes later a lot of people showed up everyone was greeted well. The breakfast was delicious and fulfilling the orange juice was great. I could've ordered another plate but I was on a tight schedule. Next time I'm back in town this will be the first place I will come.

Wowww what a secret spot! the outside lettering and building is nothing like the inside! It looks like they've done a remodel and it's a great vibe. I'd say homey and trendy at the same time. The pictures of this grinder made it look like the bread is overwhelming but it's actually a wonderful texture and balance!! The sandwich smells amazing immediately and I love the flavor!! I also am glad that I added turkey although it was $3 extra . Definitely will be going again!

Horrible tiny dry pastami sandwich. Hardly enought meat to even see. My freind had the French dip. Same thing almost meatless with some watery aujus.

This truly is a hidden gem, it's on a random corner on a plaza consisting of things I would never had a reason to stop in. Good thing there's Yelp, I was around running errands and wanted to try something new and this place seem to get good reviews. You can feel that it's a small mom and pops place, the people that work here were so nice and attentive. I didn't know what to order and they suggested their most popular choice, the grinder! It's a piece of really crispy bread with your selection of meat and special sauce, omg the melted cheese too. I ordered fries too. It's a generous portion as I can only finish half, but yay I have the other half for dinner now. Prices were very affordable, and you can just tell it's run by a very nice family. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

My daughter and I were in the area for a soccer tournament and happened to drive past this spot while looking for a place to eat. WOW! Are we so excited to have found it! The food was fresh, made from scratch and absolutely delicious. Service was super fast and SO FRIENDLY! We wish we found Chestnut Cafe sooner and will be back! 5 Stars!

Yummy food and quick service! Our food was ready within 15 minutes. I loved the italian grinder, it's very yummy and you won't regret the extra calories! Hubby had the grilled cheese which was good, nothing extraordinary.

This is an interesting little place in Kent that feels like it has been there just forever. I went in today with a skeptical mind about "The Best Club Sandwich in Kent". When ordering sandwiches Brian (I later learned his name), was very patient and worked with me on how I wanted my sandwiches to be. I ordered the Club, really wanted to try the Rueben (no longer on the menu), went with a Philly and Egg Salad. Each sandwich is...exactly what you would want and expect. So best--open to opinion, but to me darn near perfect.

Pros: friendly staff, quick service, food is decent and unpretentious, plenty seating and parking, I had a fair experience with this eatery Cons: not much.

Bread sandwiches. Hawaiian had more pepperoncini than ham. The pineapple bits were straight from a can, not even grilled. The pesto chicken sandwich had more lettuce than chicken. The fries were unseasoned. The milkshake was the best part of the meal. I will not return. Ever.
