The Mona Lisa Cafe is an Italian style bakery/cafe that offers Italian baked goods, gelato, espresso, and coffee. It's very elegant, yet not pretentious.

On another visit, they had 3 or 4 different takes on the chocolate/hazelnut combination, ranging from fudgelike to just a hint of Nutella. If Abbott's is closed, try them out - they're open late. —ZachSmalt

I had a hard time getting silverware to eat with, it was ridiculous. VERY disappointed. Huge waste of my time and money. Won't be back. :( —NorthWoodsGirl

2009-07-30 13:36:26   Agree with NorthWoodsGirl. Went here for lunch and was told to take a menu and sit at any table. I asked if outside was ok, was told yes. Waited outside for almost 15 minutes before going in and finding out you have to order at the counter... Then placed our order, waited for 25 more minutes and realized by now we had to get back to the office. Went inside and asked for our food to go. It took over 15 minutes more at that point for our food to come out. Ridiculous when it was nothing fancy to make.
Also the shrimp on my foccacia was overcooked and had a texture like shoe leather. Will not be going back here. —KimBee

2009-09-07 17:02:20   I normally would not comment without actually trying the food, but I will share my experience after reading the comments about the service. I stopped there last Monday around 4:45pm to grab a coffee/snack while my car was in the shop. There was one table of people eating inside. I stood by the counter for a couple of minutes and never saw any staff. I walked up and down the display case a couple of times eyeing the desserts (they looked good!), but still no staff. Finally I walked over to T.C. Hooligans and got a giant beer for $2.50!! (happy hour special). To be fair, I didn't wait a really long time before I left (maybe 5-7 minutes?), but it always feels like eternity when you're standing there waiting . Anyway, I'll give them another shot sometime, but it just seems odd that many people had similar experiences with the s-l-o-w (or in my case non-existent) service. Get it together folks! —NoBS

Enjoyed the gelato but the cake - forget what they called it, but it was described as some sort of decadent-sounding chocolate-and-coffee-flavored delicacy - pretty much was like a square Hostess cupcake, only more expensive. Coffee was just OK. My impression was, yet another place with a tempting looking dessert case that disappoints in the end. —DavidPausch
