Morning Star Café *brick and mortar*

Location: 3rd & Washington
Type: café
Cost: $9.00
Food: Cup of soup of the day (sweet ginger vegetable) and half Felipe sandwich
Wait: felt long
Size: meh

This is why brick and mortar pales in comparison to food carts. It offers shelter from the rain, but when it turns out to go to sun after the sprinkles you walk out in, you're disappointed to be eating where you are. Soup was okay, but too sweet to eat much of (although I got what looked like a bowl for the cup price). Sandwich was not inviting, flavors too jumbled, mustard too aggressive. Too bad it was sprinkling when I went out for food, because I would have gotten more food for less money at a food cart and almost certainly would have enjoyed it better.

Summary:
Would go again is someone wanted to? not without encouraging a different option
Would take Dave there for a repeat? no
