Can’t beat the prices! Food is good, portions are big, and the staff is friendly. Owner is excellent. She really cares about her business! Highly recommended.

Café 111 is a ____spot for lunch. I struggle with finding the best adjective to describe it. It isn’t fantastic, and it will not blow your mind, but it certainly does the job. They sell calories for somewhat reasonable prices. The staff is always friendly. Many menu items are pretty greasy, but sometimes I want greasy. The healthier options generally lack flavor. I still come here semi-regularly, because the location is convenient and prices are cheaper than much of the competition. Correction: I come here semi-regularly during the colder months; because if the food trucks are outside, you won’t find me at Café 111. But, if you want a sandwich or burger, this is a safe option. Although, I’m willing to bet you can make something much better at home. So, I probably haven’t sold you on coming here, but I’m not sure I was trying to. «Come buy calories for somewhat reasonable prices!» It’s a good thing I don’t work in sales.

A great place to get burgers downtown. Café 111 is a nice little place with a small diner feel. There is enough seating for about 2 dozen diners and also have a very good take out service. I’ve had the salads and burger from here and each were very good. The salads seemed fresh and we’re a good lunch size. The Burgers are made to order and we’re cooked to temp whether I order medium or medium well. They have 6 or 7 varieties and each were delicious and came with a good portion of fries or substituted with a small portion of cold salad(coleslaw, potatoe salad, etc…) They also have wraps and chicken sandwiches, neither of which I tried. For a time I ordered from here once a week when I wanted a burger but not one of those fast food burgers.

A good café, nice location for state workers or workers near the Capitol or Education Building. Prices are good but food is okay; nothing fancy. It’s confusing on where you order when you step in the place because they have a long counter that goes across the one wall. The only obvious sign is up for a hamburger line so makes it seem like everything else is ordered in the furthest area. Then you can pay for your purchase either after you get you meal or before which can also be a little confusing probably if very busy. I don’t know how they keep track. The food is simple and okay. The hamburgers are usually bigger then the roll they serve them in and also when I bought a tuna sub it was served in a roll bigger then the amount of tuna that was in it. They’re prices are good but I still rather have a roll filled with the adequate ratio of food supplied. The burgers are very tasty once you get past the roll burger ratio. The tuna is very dry. Some items they have served out of crock pots such as the buffalo chicken is served in too many small chunks for my liking so I haven’t ordered that again. Their fries are very delicious and crispy and seasoned to perfection. If you want an okay meal at a good price this is a great option.

One thing up front: I have only ever eaten a burger at Café One Eleven. Coworkers have gotten other dishes and I have heard no complaints. But for me the burger is king. Service is good and everyone is polite. The place is clean and comfortable. I like sitting on the barstool watching people go by. Overall this is what I want in a café/diner!

I chose this place based on existing Unilocal reviews. I was blown away by the great & friendly service, the fantastic food, and the really good prices. I don’t think you could go wrong by eating here any time of day!

The prices are amazing for the quality and amount of food you get. I got the Big L and the garlic mayo totally made the sandwich. Not to mention the fact that it had broccoli rabe on it. My boyfriend enjoyed his Burger, which came with fries. She told him if they were to crispy for him she’d make him a new batch. They also cooked your burger to your liking. Service was very friendly, and they address a lot of people by name, so you know that this place is good if locals keep returning. The only downer was having to pay the meter, and there wasn’t a lot of tables if you wanted to sit in and eat around lunch hour.(I assume this place gets swarmed) But seating was decent otherwise. Will be retuning.

Café one eleven is one of my go to places for lunch during the work week. It’s quick, friendly, and most importantly the food is good. The menu consists of sandwiches, wraps, burgers, salads, soups, and a few different breakfast items. I typically get some sort of wrap every time I come and they’ve been really good. I’ve seen many of the other menu items and everything looks great. Everything is really fairly priced, between $ 6-$ 8 which is perfect for lunch. The people who work there are super friendly and it’s quick. There is ample seating which is also a plus. They take credit cards which I feel like I have to point out since so many places downtown don’t. For a great, quick lunch downtown, café one-eleven is a great choice!

They use kaiser rolls on their burgers. Fries were pretty good. They only have Coca-Cola products as far as I can tell.
