Vivian's Market Style Cafe

WOW - and this place is almost in our back yard! The first time i saw it and stopped in, i was pessimistic because of the flashing signs (which usually mean mediocre food, altho i understand why people use them). I saw their salad bar and started looking, and was greeted by Vivian herself who instantly offered a "tour" - i thought that was a great concept, since the cafe has several stations like a food court - salad bar, cookie and smoothie bar, hot food cafeteria area, sandwich area, homemade hot soup bar, and checkout snackbar. The gardenburger wrap was delicious, as were all of the 5 or 6 salad bar composed salads, made fresh daily. Yum. Since my first visit, i stop by when i'm in the area and at least bring home side salads for supper - nothing like fresh vegetables & homemade salads! Oh, and the chocolate chip cookies (often fresh out of the oven, small batches) are to die for!!-- Will from Sterling
