What User likes about Step Above Cafe:
Recent renovations have created an updated, modern look in this café. The décor is chic but the cuisine hasn't changed much, which is good. The fresh lunch choices are reasonably priced, the pastries are always fresh and if you like, you can purchase food from the deli downstairs and they will heat it up for you. I take my company here when they visit and they are always impressed. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Step Above Cafe:
I have been here many times and the food is usually OK. I went again recently and got a tall iced mocha and paid $4.00! It was very small and I took one sip and had to throw it away.. way too much chocolate syrup, and very sweet. Otherwise most of the other drinks are fine. Still a nice atmosphere. View all feedback.
