Castroville Cafe

Very good food super friendly staff located in an old house great history. Very comfortable atmosphere

Highly recommend! Cute, "meet the girls out for lunch" energy all throughout this place. Food was decent but the highlight for me was the location - super cute, how immaculate the little country house was, and Orry ( that's my spell check on sign) our server! Tomato basil is my fave soup but, I'm sorry but a little too thick and creamy for me. I'll make my own and stick to a salad or sandwich. Turkey and Swiss was good. Tried the strawberry delight (jello with strawberries and pretzels) and it was meh!

I had the chicken fried steak and my girlfriend had the sandwich and it was delicious and service was out standing. The waitstaff was very friendly and atmosphere was very nice. I'm going back soon .

Very nice old house with several rooms. Service great. The wife had a small Caesar salad and a cup of tomato basil soup. the small salad was huge and good and the soup was delicious. I had the tuna salad with chicken tortilla soup and pasta salad. All good but tuna was delicious! Iced tea always fresh. Great outdoor seating when cooler. Usually best to call and make sure they are open.

We had such a lovely luncheon here earlier this year, that we decided to come back to celebrate a Birthday. I ordered the same sandwich, the Alsatian, and upgraded to the Castroville salad for $2 as a side. When my sandwich arrived, I was super disappointed. My plate looked nothing like what I had the previous visit. Sandwich was tiny and appeared sad. There was hardly any corned beef or sauerkraut. I Compared my sandwich photo from Jan to this visit , there's a big difference. Even the salad portion was smaller. For $14-$15, I can go elsewhere. My friend enjoyed her quiche and coleslaw. Friendly service, but no one checked on us till after we ate our meals, then we received refills on our peach iced tea. Sorry, but even the peach iced tea was dull this visit....

First of all, the service is wonderful! Ori, our server, was so sweet. The atmosphere is quite pleasant with soft background music and the cuteness of the old house itself. Food itself is nothing over the top, but it's good and filling. The meatloaf is quite tasty and the ham and bacon sandwich was really nice. Highly recommend the pecan pie cobbler. Be sure and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Castroville cafe serves comfort food. The food is delicious just the right amount of salt. Good size portions. Great service from wait staff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lunch visit during our excursion to one of my favorite cities. We ordered a turkey sandwich and a Henri Castro. (I ordered the Henri Castro by pronouncing the name in French and our cute waitress did not understand me. lol) The order came out very quickly. The tortila soup was hot, cheesy and delicious. The sandwiches were excellent with fresh turkey, veggies, bacon --- and the bread was great. Nice place!

One of the better experiences we had in Castroville. This place was adorable, and very inviting. It felt like Sunday meals at grandmas. The prices were great, and the service was what you would expect. It was like a relative was attending to you. The food was all very well cooked and came out faster than we expected. My wife had the tortilla soup. FINALLY a place that makes it right. I had tomato basil, not as good as the tortilla soup, but by no means bad. The pluses- The lasagna,pasta salad, schnitzel, mashed potatoes, kettle chips, peach tea, lemonade, and the bread were spectacular. The maybe misses? Well the burger my son had was actually very under seasoned, which was surprising considering how well all the other dishes were seasoned. It was still good, just looked better than it actually tasted. The star of the show for us was desert. We ordered pecan cobbler with ice cream...one of the greater desserts we've ever had. We will definitely be coming back till we order everything on there menu!

We decided to eat local and support small town businesses. We were driving downtown Castroville and came upon this quant and super cute cafe. You have a choice of eating outside or inside. Upon entering, you can tell this house was built a very long time ago. After asking, it was built in the 1800s! There is so much history here and it's apparent as it is shown with local town pictures hung all over the walls. The place is incredibly clean and the tables are spaced out appropriately. The service was incredibly fast and professional. Our server was kind, full of knowledge and willing to give us her opinion. What we ordered:1.) Landmark sandwich: it has roast beef with caramelized onions, mushrooms, provolone, tomatoes and a horseradish Mayo On a sourdough bread. It was paired with a chicken tortilla soup. The bread was toasted nicely and the filling was flavorful the onions were caramelized well and the cheeseJust oozed out. The only disappointment on this plate was the chicken tortilla soup. It was watered down without a lot of substance to it. It also had a mild flavor to it but it was edible. However, it didn't pair well with the sandwich. 2) Schnitzel sandwich: it's a breaded pork cutlet with lettuce, tomato, pickles, Mayo and mustard on a sourdough bread. Hold the pickles please! I personally like pickles by itself but not on a sandwich or Burger! I paired it with their homemade American potato salad. The sandwich was subpar, but the pork Cutlet was fried to Perfection. However, the cutlet was much smaller than the size of the bread slice so it made it seemLike you were being gypped. It was plain and nothing stood out. It was good to eat but not something I'd come running back for! The potato salad, according to my husband, could only taste the celery. For me, all I could taste was pickle. I also thought it was incredibly dry and possibly needed more Mayo/mustard and a dash of salt to bring out the flavors. Would I go back? Yes, but I'd try something different. I also hope the next time I go, they have the chocolate cake everyone seems to be raving about!
