Critic Reviews

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
The problem is that, although the staff's and customers' concerns may be of relative import to their characters, their issues largely come off as either mundane or clichéd - or both.
Brent Simon, Shockya.com
Written by someone who one has to assume is a recent film school graduate who wrote plenty of tortured poetry in high school, this Cafe should have its beverage license revoked, no matter the lack of alcohol.

Entertaining and original. The ensemble cast seems to be giving it their all and the script has some surprises. Erlbaum seems to do well within his budgetary confines, turning this into a nice bittersweet fairy tale.
