Troy’s Café the Experience

Driving by a strip mall in the Cincinnati suburb of West Chester you wouldn’t think to stop by a little end cap restaurant with a fork on its logo.  But if you did the things you would find out about this little café would be extraordinary and even breath taking.  A little hard to find, off the beaten path down a little road squeezed in between some apartment building and some retail shops lays Troy’s Café.  Pulling in the parking lot you would assume the place is too small to be good but then you notice something.  Little bistro tables setting outside with an inviting sign that tells you what’s new, a nicely lit dining room with an upscale ambiance and the smell of something on the grill.  You still hesitate because this place must be too fancy or too expensive, but you go inside anyway.  The minute you step in the door you are greeted with a warm welcome and a smile.  You notice the tables are coved in white linen draped with butcher paper and there seems to be a menu hanging from the ceiling.  You approach the counter to find the menu isn’t at all expensive or pretentious just a bunch of food that all sounds so good.  After deciding on your order you notice the wonderful selection of beer and wine they have to offer and you think to yourself “Wine at a quick service restaurant that has linens on the table?” “These people must be mad.”  You quickly learn as the server brings your glass of wine and your food out to you that this café is special.  You also learn that the food is fresh, made daily by the chefs that run the place.  The ground beef for the burgers are ground fresh by the butcher next door.  The owner’s mother makes most of the desserts.  The Seafood is fresh and the soups made daily.  You also learn that quick service doesn’t mean no service, the servers come out with your food, and they check on you, you feel like a guest in their home.  All of this in a little café tucked away in a corner of West Chester, right in your back yard.  This is the experience Troy’s Café brings to you and once you try it you’ll want to plan your next visit right away.
