Bookmark Cafe is located right next to the Lafayette Library, which makes it an easy stop next time you’re checking out a few books or running errands in the neighborhood. Regulars say it serves up tasty, hearty meals that are equally good in the cafe's little dining room or on-the-go.

Health-conscious patrons appreciate the ability to get a big, fresh salad without breaking the bank (Try the Secret Garden salad, which is topped with zingy feta cheese), while families gravitate toward kid-friendly options like chicken tenders, pizza, and grilled cheese sandwiches. On the weekends you'll find plenty of diners noshing on grilled paninis stuffed with turkey, eggplant, and arugula — and during the chilly winter months, you'll find plenty of folks adding a cup of house-made lentil or tomato soup on the side. Whatever you order, you can expect it to be served up quickly and with a smile, as Yelp reviewers heap particular praise on this place for providing fast, friendly service.
