Editorial Review for Gigi's Cafe – by Molly Priesmeyer
In Short
Since opening its doors in 2005, Gigi's has grown to become one of the best places in town to grab a meal on the go. This isn't fast food. In fact, everything at this warm, candlelit spot could be considered "slow food": Dishes like spinach parmesan tarts, mushroom red-pepper tarts and chicken empanadas are all delicately made and beautifully displayed. It makes sense that these meals with flaky crusts and decadent ingredients mirror their sweet counterparts. Gigi's is known for its homemade baked goods like tiramisu cheesecake bars, blueberry lemon tart, rhubarb streusel and chocolate cake.

My husband and I visited Giggi's for lunch the first time a few weeks ago - I am sorry it took us so long to go! I had an egg salad sandwich and broccoli soup - both were delicious. My husband had the enchilada casserole (veg) and LOVED it. The staff was pleasant and attentive, the atmosphere was relaxing and nice, the food was yummy. I will be bringing my mother to Gigi's this weekend - I know she will love it!
Pros: Great food, friendly staff, vegetarian options
Cons: Parking

After reading all of the great reviews I took my two kids with me to gigi's last weekend. I was really underwhelmed. The staff was friendly but the food was bland and overpriced. I had an egg tart that was soggy and flavorless and my children shared a pasta salad with overcooked noodles. We all shared a chocolate chip cookie that was nothing to get excited about. It's a cute place but we were very disappointed with the food.
Pros: Cute neighborhood
Cons: Overpriced and bland
