Stefano's Ice Cafe

Delicious breakfast served with a smile. Portions are not huge for the price but my omelet was made with high quality ingredients, much more so than comparable items at other diners. The shop offers a delightfully diverse selection of drinks, small meals, and sundries. The service is always very friendly and fast. The location in Fountain Square Mall makes it very easy to access. A wonderful hidden gem.

This place is amazing! The coffee is great and selection of handnade6 baked goods is awesome. During Easter and Christmas when children can have their pictures taken with Santa or the Easter Bunny Stefano's partners with the Fountain square mall and for every picture purchase you get a coupon for a free cookie. The pictures in previous years have only been $5.00 and they always have the prettiest scenery and other areas set with great props for awesome photos.

I started going here back in 2004 and it is my favorite place when I am in the area for lunch. I agree with the review about the best chicken salad. I love to have scoop of it on their Mandarin Feta salad. The Roma sandwiches are also excellent. I haven't had a disappointing experience there in 14 years.

I have always had a great experience with Stefano's! -- They've been very warm & friendly with me and I enjoy their food. I work in Fountain Square and am always going to the cafe for coffee and lunch. I think because Fountain Square is a somewhat public place, they do get people who (loiter) use their cafe space without paying for any food at times, so that might account for the 2 other posts on here that are reporting that they were rude? Perhaps there was a misunderstanding. I've never experienced that, personally. :)
