Stopped by for Lunch today. Heres what I had and what I thought. We walked in and got seated right away. Its quite a large space and only 4 tables were occupied. Waitress came over really smiley and happy with menus and started us off with coffee and bread. When she came back with my coffee in a Starbucks to go cup with a starbucks holder I was taken aback for a moment and thought this is going to be crap. But then I read above the coffee maker a sign saying "We brew Starbucks coffee" I was cool with that. We shmoozed and then looked at the menu a little. I wasnt sure what I was in the mood of, so I asked the waitress to call the Chef, Albert out. He came out. I introduced myself, and he was so nice and helpful in suggesting what to order. So we ordered as follows. Mac N Cheese Egg Rolls - I know the idea might be cute and probably could work but I took a bite and spit it out. Something was seriously wrong with the flavors and cheese. Salmon Tartar - Wow! An absolutely amazing dish. I love that it is covered with black salt. It compliments the salmon and gives the avocado flavoring it wouldnt have. We stripped that dish! Eggplant Parmesan - Also, really liked this dish. It was big, flavorful, I love that he added the pasta at the bottom of the dish topped with the eggplant. Didnt go cheap on the eggplant either. Maple Glazed Salmon - I dont think Ive ever had a maple glazed salmon. At first I thought it might be too sweet; but not at all. I do think the dish was more oily than necessary but the salmon was cooked to perfection. The green beans were flavorful and the ginger gave it that extra kick. I didnt taste the sweet potatoes. Yuka Fries - Concept is great. The chef sprinkled the fries with thick salt. It was really good but I couldnt eat more than two as its super starchy. But its a great side to order to go around a large party. So, in conclusion, I was really impressed with service and food. And I would recommend it to friends and family in the neighborhood.

Amazing chef Albert makes delicious treats. I love coming here. Each time I get something new and always happy. Got the spaghetti squash medly last time yum! He also makes his own pastries in house. Also they just got cold brew coffee and make amazing ice coffee. Cant wait to try to croissant next time.

Tuna salad was blah, bread was blah, until the red headed waitress came in service was terrible. Bathroom is filthy. The red headed waitress is great but thats all thats good about this place.

Wonderful place, nice ambiance great food at good prices. I live in Brooklyn but the trip to Cedar was well worth it for the coffee bar .

We waited over an hour from when we sat down until we got our food. They need more staff desperately. Unfortunately a bad experience.
