"A good spot with many options. I had the grilled cheese and got it with a side of sweet potatoes fries. Both tasted good, they just weren't seasoned super well, but tasted good. I've heard great things about the kimchi fried rice and their smoothies. A good place for a quick and diverse bite on the ave!"

"This restaurant is on the corner of the ave and has a great variety of food and drinks. The menus are laid out on tables for the food and the drinks menu is on a screen behind the register. The Kimchi Fried Rice was so delicious! It was packed with flavors and a little bit of spice! The portion size was pretty big as well. The food was served hot and fresh."

"Cafe on the Ave is consistent in every way. When I went to UW, it was a great study spot, great place to go solo, with a friend, or with a large group. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods, so if you're craving both an omelet and fettuccini Alfredo at 10am? No problem! Their food is good and satisfying, and it keeps me coming back!"

"First timer at Cafe on The Ave! Wanted a light and refreshing breakfast for a school morning! Really loved the flavor combo and the colorful palate! Food was really quick and it's a bust yourself type. Recommend for a Thursday morning! Not too crowded either!"
