  Wife and I drove over from Glenville to checkout the Beekman place, checked out a couple more stores along Main St before deciding to have lunch.  This was the only place available that we saw and decided to drop on in.  It's small and a little cramped but very nice, picked our table and were able to order our drinks and lunch rather quickly, they were a bit busy.  
  
  Wife ordered the BLT and I got the Thanksgiving sandwich...  Wow, neither of us were disappointed although she thought her blt had too much mayo but enjoyed it anyway.  The Thanksgiving sandwich was outstanding, an actual turkey breast and not your run of the mill boars head deli slice variety.  We also got the blaak & Mac which I liked but the wife didn't. Do agree with previous reviewers that chips, pickle or something should come with the sandwiches.  
  
  Having said that, we hoped to make a return visit in the not too distant future.  We're fans of the Black Cat, young lady did an excellent job with the service, great with the refills.

  I was disappointed in our lunch here. For 5 of us, the meal was fairly expensive for what we ordered. I wanted to treat my family and friends to lunch and now I just wish we'd picked another place.
  
  My friend ordered a pita sandwich version of a BLT, which was supposed to come with hummus instead of bacon. There literally was a few teaspoons of the hummus smeared extremely lightly. Were they running low?  She took one bite of it and had to do an inspection to even prove there was any hummus in the sandwich. It did not come with anything else - no fries, no chips, nada, zip, zilch.
  
  One of us ordered a turkey sandwich. Bland, hardly any meat. It was about the whitest sandwich we ever saw - LOL.
  
  I ordered the mac and cheese, which was about the only dish we all universally liked, but again, the serving was miniscule. I'm guessing maybe they had a busy weekend and were literally running out of food. In that case, they should have warned us or told us which dishes were not available.
  
  No thank you.

  We had spent the day enjoying the Garden Party weekend and ready to grab something quick to eat. The menu looked promising but we were pretty disappointed when our meals arrived. I had the Cassandra sandwich described as a house-roasted turkey breast on toasted white with mayonnaise, tomato & bacon for $9.
  
  I got exactly that on a lightly toasted thin sliced white bread with two slices of turkey, one tomato and 2 limp slices of bacon. And a schmear of mayo... no lettuce, no chips, no fries, nada and oops, no flavor either. Sorry that I was so hungry that I ate it before taking a picture but another reviewer posted a picture of their half an inch thick sandwich which looked as pathetic as mine.
  
  Another diner ordered the Lebanese potato salad but other than a healthy sprinkle of parsley, we didn't taste anything even vaguely Lebanese inspired flavor in that little dish of cubed potatoes.
  
  Sorry. I don't think anyone one of us would return here.

  The food here was great and the atmosphere was super cute. I ordered the bagelwich and substituted the bagel with gluten free bread. Pleasantly surprised how good it was and how large the portion size was. They gave me two sandwiches which would apparently be the equivalent to one bagelwich.
  
  My friend and I had to change tables after we ordered to accommodate a larger party and the owner (I think) was so appreciative he gave us a free slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious and it was so kind of him to give it to us. Highly recommend.

  So the biggest pro for this cafe was that it has dog friendly outdoor seating and was open for lunch.  However, it was an expensive lunch for a mediocre meal.  My husband had the corn beef sandwich.  It was nicely spiced and tender but be warned that it is not thin sliced but a slab of corned beef thrown on some rye bread and a bit on the small side.  And, no sides, chips, pickle....nothing else for $12.  I had the Gorgo salad (14) which was very heavy on the fig preserves and the fig balsamic drizzle.  When I mentioned it to the waitress she said that next time I should tell them to go light on the fig.
  The best part of the meal was the soup du jour which was lentil and chickpea and had great Moroccan type flavors.  The Blaack and Cheese side was okay but a bit bland and small.  All in all not worth the $44 we paid.  The waitress was very nice to our dog (got her water) and was fairly attentive throughout the meal.
