ol' reliable café santropol! i love to come here for a quick meal in the summer & sit in the beautiful courtyard or get takeout to sit in parc jeanne-mance. the duluth sandwich, vegan mac & cheese, & chai milkshake (milkshake only available in the summer) are all consistently delicious options on the menu! avoid the iced chai, it was kind of watery.
the service can sometimes be a little disorganized, but the staff is always friendly. overall, i am a very frequent & happy camper at santropol ^_^

Hasn't changed much over the years. I had the tempeh sandwich... was interesting, but lacked a balance of flavour.

Bread bread bread bread bread bread bread bread.
Expected this to be an overpriced date spot but was pleasantly surprised. If given the choice between white & brown bread, I'd take white. Luckily, I wasn't offered a choice. The triplex sandwich was great.

The filtered coffee was underwhelming.

Waited like 10 minutes & literally no one came to seat us… even asked & got ignored. Someone skipped in front of us & got sat too?!

This was my favorite spot for amazing sandwiches & soul healing level plant life on the ceiling. Now you can barely spot a plant but I was delighted to see dogs. Even if I ordered the wrong sandwich option: the bread crust was as dry as day old, the chicken salad lacked seasoning of any kind & the itsy cup of dressing was utterly insufficient. The thrill is gone
