Very expensive for a counter sales place. At the time we ate there, their online menu created sticker shock at the counter with some items $4 to $8 more than we expected.
My wife had a salmon plate that was not on the online menu. A tiny piece of salmon for the $24 but was cooked to perfection.
I had the Pincho (skewers) platter, steak and chicken. Both were cooked perfectly and you could really taste the wood smoke. The chimichurri was very good as well.
I wanted the Churrasco but wasn’t going to take the risk at $32 on a place I had never eaten at on a preparation that is traditionally skirt steak. If its done as well as the skewers I’m sure it’s delicious but still pretty steep for a counter sales type place. But hey, they are catering to people with money like the winery and distillery tourists who are ready to blow a wad of cash.
The sides were fine and the bread they serve is good. The bad reviews must have been an off-day.
We were expecting a real sit-down restaurant but its more like a fast casual counter sales place. Like a convenience store/deli that just happens to serve top notch food. VERY nice and helpful people and the food was ready very quickly (it was middle of the afternoon and not busy). The seating area inside is no frills…and no cushions. They do have outdoor seating as well.
We came here as a destination because we bought a coupon/certificate that saved some money and we hadn’t been here. I dont think we will go out of our way to come here in the future (cost and ambiance) but if in the area otherwise would not hesitate to eat here again. It looked like they had more sandwiches on the menu than they show online. I forgot to take a picture of the menu and prices but my guess is, if everything else has gone up, so have they. I’ll bet they are all tasty though.
The drink menu seems reasonable, but I got the Old fashioned at $10 and it was OK…I got maybe 4 good swallows out of it though, so, not much to it. Paid for a pour of the bourbon from the distillery next door and again got maybe 4 good swallows out of it for $16. While it had an outstanding aroma, it wasn’t worth the money taste-wise and we didn’t go next door and buy any because I’m sure they are “very proud” of their bourbon and charge accordingly. It was better to spend the $16 to know rather than learn the hard way buying a bottle blind. It looked like a well appointed space catering to that aforementioned “tourists with money to spend”.

Fantastic! We stopped in for dinner and immediately impressed with the local organic ingredients they showcase in describing dishes on their menu. . They offer a full coffee menu along with sandwiches, soups, and entrees. Wine and full bar beverages are also available. We enjoyed our meal – had wonderful service and surprised by live entertainment of mellow acoustic guitar. Divine spot! We will be back!

Exchange Cafe is right next to the distillery and has a very impressive cocktail selection. The fireman’s chicken is phenomenal. The squash was a little undercooked this time but perfect the last time I had it. The dining area can use some work, looks like gas station dining and the ac was broken, I believe anyways cause it was a bit uncomfortable temperature wise. The food is great so it is worth a visit.

What an amazing dinner! We walked into this cafe with 12 women and we were met with kindness, gratitude and the best service. A mom/daughter team took our older, kept drinks flowing, and fed us delicious meals of hamburgers, crab cakes, meat skewers, soup, and much more. They even brought out a bunch of dessert boxes at the end just to make it easier in case we wanted to purchase anything. We were so impressed! If you’re looking for a place with wonderful food and even better service, look no further. If you make it before 7pm, you can even stop into the distillery next door and get some bourbon. Highly recommend!

This little cafe has amazing food. GET THE PARM FRIES, they’re soft on the inside but so crispy on the outside. The food really is elevated compared to any other cafe it’s size. I also had the cured meat sandwich and it was HUGE. They also make killer cocktails, with a nice selection of bourbon to pick from. There’s a nice selection of regular and non-alcoholic beer in addition to wine. If I lived closer, I’d go all the time. Definitely worth a stop in if you’re in the area. Kid friendly and diaper changing station in the bathroom.

Had the burger on focaccia and the chicken sandwich on focaccia- best we have ever had! The toasted focaccia and fresh burger took it to another level. The fries were amazing as well- oh, and the cappuccino and latte- wonderful! Service was excellent- only our second time here and we will definitely be back! Want them to cater our children’s weddings- and none of them are even engaged yet

Stopped in for breakfast and the brisket biscuit was delicious! It would be helpful to have a coffee menu by the food menu. Service was great otherwise!

Exchange Cafe is my go to spot every Friday night. Julie and her sweet daughter are the sweetest! And the food is amazing! I’ve never had a bad meal or service here. Chill atmosphere, delicious food, and great cocktails. You’ve gotta give it a try. Yo won’t regret it!

Julie is always so welcoming … Sam an incredible chef!! The Pincho platter amazing- best shrimp and grilled veggies ever – I have no idea how portobello mushrooms can taste like that, but they were like a slice of heaven. The food is always artistically presented. Thank you for the special gift of a place to get a great meal and company in the middle of the country. Have been regular customers since they’ve opened and always exceed our expectations!
