Alicia’s Cookery & Catering Inc

5 Stars for food, desserts and gift shop; 0 stars for the Owner — ALICIA IS VERY RUDE and CONDESCENDING, especially if you want to special order. The café would be better served if she stayed in the kitchen!

This is a cute place but I had to give it three stars for the food.
All the food were presented very cutely. But depending on what your order it can look very hearty or very skimpy. I ordered a sandwich so my basket looked very empty with my sandwich, two pieces of dessert and fruit. My mom got a sandwich too but added a side order of salad so her basket looked more full.
The owner, Alicia took our order and was very nice.
I ordered the bri-Anna’s. It’s smoked turkey, Brie, green apples and a vingarette. The flavor of the sandwich was good.
My mom ordered the chicken pesto. And it was just lacking in flavor. The chicken was bland. I think the pesto sauce needed a little more salt. And it could also use more basil taste.
The dessert was ok.

We absolutely love this place. The food is amazing!!! You will not regret ordering anything on the menu! The owner is super sweet. You’ll love her!!!

Good Food, excellent service, our sandwiches «and they also had other items on menu «were ready as soon as we sat down. I had a DELICIOUS roast beef sandwich, but my friend had a turkey with cream cheese, and we even got dessert, I had a snickerdoodle cookie and a small piece of brownie, a half piece of strawberry and a small piece of melon. My friend had a oatmeal cookie, a small piece of brownie, a small piece of honeydew. and a bottle of (came in a wine bottle) lemonade. My friend suggested it as we were on our way to have lunch, she was right it was really was Delicious, and their attached gift shop was everything a Girl would want…

Alicia’s never disappoints! Oh wait… yes they do! Not open Sunday’s but I guess they need a break! absolutely wonderful every time!

Alicia’s Cookery has a county-​like feel with very friendly service. Each meal includes fruit and desert, which are all delicious! The raspberry iced tea is brewed fresh and includes a fresh raspberry as garnish. Refills are an additional $ 0.50, but all proceeds are donated to charity. If you’re in the area, Alicia’s is a great choice for lunch.

Food quality: Worse than a cheap donut shop. At least donut shops make fresh donuts daily!
Customer service: Rude in their demeanor and the way they treat you. Not helpful with first timers.
Atmosphere: Artificial and not genuine (just like the conversations the owner/​servers have with some of their patrons)
The whole vibe of this place is dead, even its location.

My father and I went to Alicia’s to lunch. I had heard it was good and the line was long to order lunch. We were next in line and as I was still undecided I told my father to go ahead and order first. The owner helped us and my father ordered and then I. The owner then proceeded to lecture my father on his etiquette and how he should let the lady order first. Let me say that she had no business to lecture someone older than herself as well as someone she doesn’t even know!!! I was so stunned by her behavior I was speechless. I can’t even remember if the meal was good because she left such a bad taste in my mouth. With so many places to eat why patronize this place.

Love the atmosphere. Very cute! I went in for the first time after driving by and the guy was able to take my order and help me out no problem! The only thing I have to say I don’t like is the prices. For a ham and cheese sandwich, drink, and slice of cake, it came to $ 20. It was good food, but not for the price. If I knew the sandwich came with two cookies and a banana, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the cake.

I believe this is a family owned restaurant. I’m absolutely in love with the Pink Cloud, which includes cream cheese, turkey, lettuce, and cranberry sauce. This is my go-​to sandwich every time I come here. Definitely, a bit pricey for a sandwich ($ 10) but definitely worth a try.

I have been here a few times and the food is decent. Her daughters are sweet but Alicia can be extremely rude. As I was reading another Unilocaler’s review, it reminded me how she threw my credit card back at me also. I have no idea what her problem is. Save your money. There’s plenty of other options for a yummy lunch. Alicia, I am young enough to be one of your daughters and it’s sad that i have more maturity than you. Word of advice; learn some manners or your business won’t survive.

My Nonnie found this place. We have been going here for years. Still out of all the things I tried, my favorite sandwich is the Pink Cloud.

I heard of this place so I went with a group of ladies. The staff was nice but Alicia was friendly until I started asking questions about the menu. She seemed to take it personal and got annoyed with me. I could tell she couldn’t wait to get rid of me. She even threw me the credit card back at me. She was rude but I just took it. I heard she either «likes «you or she «doesn’t ». Food was good but over priced for a sandwich… and two cookies ?? Too much. I wouldn’t go back. I don’t like nor appreciate attitude with my food! Plus I wonder if those baskets they use for food ever get washed?

After a delightful pricy sandwitch meal and a fun conversation with owner Alicia, I went to the gifts and lotions and potions area with my friend.
Wow, I was amazed by its collection of inventories. There were shelves after shelves of stuff by the narrow aisles after narrow aisles and at every corners., some were new, some looked like being on the shelves for awhile. So I went on aisle after aisle, reading labels and took my time shopping.
Suddenly, I noticed that this tall young woman just kept following me wherever I went — from this side to that side, from this aisle to that aisle — I had thought she was a customer first but later I found out she was a store staff and related to owner Alicia.
It was an insult, by keeping eyes on me and pretending busy from few feet away., she could have approached me if I would need any assistance, but never did.
At the end, it’s sad to see how the small business owner trying to thrive but going to the wrong direction.

I enjoyed this small restaurant. Primarily sandwiches, salads and soups. I ordered a salad it was really good and the presentation is wonderful. They put everything in a basket so it looks really cute. You also get cookie and lemon bar with your salad.
The only thing that was strange was I went there with someone who had been several times. The owner knew her so came over to chat. Well, I had never met the owner. She was literally leaning against me as she spoke. Her body was touching mine. She may be a friendly and outgoing person but she should learn boundaries. Other than that, s nice place for lunch.

This place gives off a sweet and cozy vibe to its garden-​party-​like themed décor inside.
I’ve come here once before years ago, so I don’t remember what it was that I ordered then. All i could recall was the sandwiches being good. In a sense, me coming back to this place without much recollection, gives me the opportunity to start anew as if it were my first time (again). Haha Anyway~
I came here with my boyfriend, and he ordered a Turkey Sandwich w/​Broccoli Cheddar Soup while I got the Pink Cloud– interesting taste combo between the cottage cheese and cranberry jam, i like! *thumbs up
Saw the owner (I think) during this visit. She took our order at the register, but gave us an awkward stare as soon as we told her we’d share an iced tea together with our meals. Afterwards, she went around and greeted every table except ours– I was hoping to compliment her after trying the Pink Cloud, even waited a bit longer after we’ve finished for her to come around. *shrugs Next time, I guess.

This place is a landmark. With busy weekend schedule, we cannot visit this place as often as we can.
This place brings small town feeling and still operates by owner and her princess. I order take out so boys ca sleep and eat great foods in pajamas.
While waiting for food, Alicia offers coffee and ask about how you doing. Family are enjoying the great quality foods. Have to try their devilish English muffin with bacon and cheese melts, buchettia bagel, and breakfast sandwich.

My mom suggested this gem for lunch on Saturday– I was surprised that it was tucked away in a corporate park, but wow! I had the Asian chicken salad, which included a yummy roll, a half tangerine, a strawberry, lemon bar, and amazing chocolate chip walnut cookie!
The owner, Alicia, and her sister could not have been more welcoming. I felt like my mom and I were part of the family.
Ambiance is very honey, clean, spacious, and a nice mix of modern and cozy.
Highly recommend for a lunch stop! :)

Been there for breakfast, lunch, dinners to go, desserts, holiday cookie/​cupcake tray & shopped in the gift shop. If I could I’d
give 5 more stars for the customer service the staff provides.

Perfect place to grab lunch!
This restaurant is located right on the corner of Central Ave. and Berry St. in a plaza that looks like it only has offices in it.
Ordered the Brie-​anna sandwich which included roasted turkey, brie, slices of green apple, lettuce, and balsamic vinaigrette on a baguette. This was my first time here so I was surprised when my sandwich came to the table. It came in a lovely wicker basket with some other goodies inside. Along with the sandwich they included some fruit which was perfectly ripe and a couple dessert items. I love that you order a sandwich and you get goodies on the side! My sandwich was pretty good. The smokiness of the turkey with the creaminess of the brie and crisp apples were a perfect harmony. The chocolate chip walnut cookie was nice. how did they know I loved walnuts in my desserts? :) I also enjoyed the other item which was a lemon bar with pieces of rhubarb in it.
I had a bite. or 2. or 3 of my mama’s «Pink Cloud» sandwich and booooooy~! Mm it was so good I wish I had ordered that instead. It was basically a turkey sandwich with cranberries and cream cheese. She ordered the cream cheese on the side which is a smart idea since you can control how much you want! I can see why they named it so because you’ll find yourself with pink smear on your food.
I will definitely come back and also maybe grab me one of them lemon poppy seed muffins I saw at the counter.
