illium Cafe & Catering

I went there for lunch with my daughter. I had the grilled veggie wrap without cheese (vegan) and french fries and it was very good. My daughter had a salad and it was good. Price was good, service fast. My only complaint was tables were super close so the loud conversation next to us was so loud we had trouble talking. Otherwise I will go back for the food.

My husband, son and I enjoyed a late breakfast here. My husband and I shared the Corn beef sandwich, my son had the corn beef hash breakfast. The coffee of the day was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive.

Was concerned that ordering a vegan version of the (already) vegetarian wrap would be dry - needless concern, the meat substitute was wonderfully juicy and the whole wrap was delicious. Nice to have this as a 'going out' food option. Service was pleasant and quick. Also, the counter was shiny clean mid-lunch service (always a plus). Overall a great lunch experience.

Now listen here, this place is trying hard and they are doing a good job. They are in Troy New York! The birthplace of the industrial revolution, well, at least the American version. It all started in England, but that is another story. So, you are in Troy. Good for you. You are walking around looking at some remarkable brown stone private homes. "Where are we" you ask yourself, "The village"? meaning of course, the west village 100 miles down river. But no, you are in Troy. Thank goodness there is a decent place to eat!
