★★★★★ 5.0 Roger Fox · Dec 2022

I left a review a while back when it was still Uptown Cafe but wanted to update it now that it has fully transitioned into Sanctuary Cafe. I work in one of the buildings across the street with no cafeteria of our own and am thrilled to have this breakfast and lunch option nearby. I would even make the journey here even on days when I'm not in the office. The atmosphere is great with really nice seating areas on both sides of the entrance plus a nice, shaded patio underneath the overhang overlooking the lake. They have so many different deli, grill, and hot food options plus smoothies and other beverages. Service is very friendly, as well. They now have a website with online ordering and a more complete breakfast menu, which I plan on taking full advantage of!

There are a lot of food options here such as hot bar, grilled,wrap. The service is fast. Staff is friendly. The price is reasonable. I ordered grilled cheese and it is good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tanmit Singh · Aug 2023

If you work nearby and don't feel like dealing with the food court at the Mall, then this is the spot for you! I usually eat here once a week, and the sandwiches are delicious. They have all types of sandwiches, a hot bar, a salad bar, and tons of beverages. Everything you would want from a deli/cafe. More importantly, the staff is friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend. p.s. i picked up this oat milk coffee from there, and it tastes amazing!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Colonel JD · Nov 2025

I wanted to like this place but I had a disappointing experience. Many positive reviews convinced me to try it, but I found high prices and bland flavor. I will not return.

★★★★★ 5.0 John Gross · Jul 2025

Great place for a lunch from the office. They are just as kind and accommodating for regulars as first timers. The grill is just as good as the hot bar too!
