Adam2Cafe - Kutztown

Today myself and some close friends venutred to Adam2Cafe for a surprise bridal shower. This is a regular lunch spot for us and knowing how wonderful they are there, we decided that they would accomodate us for the shower (and they did!). They have a website, if you wish to check it out, go to: http://www.adam2.net/. They do a much better at explaining their purpose. I love when a church can reach out and do something so great in a community.

Adam2 is a great small place built in what used to be some sort of warehouse/factory. It is easy to see that the youth of this church utilize this space with the books and games strewn about. It is inviting and warm, with the couches and high top tables. They have a wonderful menu of specialty sandwiches and soups. Very much a lunch place.

For lunch I had a RJ special, which is a BLT & chicken salad combination. Here is a pic of it.

One friend had a mango salad and another had a grilled veggie sandwhich. Chck out how good they look!

We did have an issue with one sandwich, but the staff quickly made it right. Speaking of the staff, they are wonderful and curteous. They take care of you. We have called in our orders and they have had tables reserved for us! Just something that small can make your lunch break feel special. I would recommend Adam2Cafe to all.

TK's Sushi House - Kutztown

Today for the first time, I tried sushi! I have watched friends eat it for many, many a lunch and have always wished I could eat it (and be cool liek them) but I don't like seafood. They have offered to let me taste theirs, but I have either declined or had to throw it away because I did not like it. Well, today one of those friends convinced me into going to TK's and trying something they call a volcano roll!

TK's is a wonderful little spot on Main Street in Kutztown (sorry they don't have a website). They have a great sized menu and from the comments that I have heard from my group of friends (who eat there at least once a week) they love it! It is a small place with maybe 10-12 tables and then a bar type seating area in front of the chef who makes the sushi. The staff are very nice and provide you with great customer service. They learn their customers names and remember their preferences. I have a friend who will only use low-sodium soy sauce and they remember that!

I tried the volcano roll. Now, you must remember that I do not like seafood and this was my first official visit to a sushi house. The volcano roll (pictured below) was cream cheese & crab meat rolled in seaweed and then rolled in sticky rice and then deep fried and then covered in a spicy sauce. (By the way, this is no where near what I should be eating since I am on Nutrisystem!) It was incredible! Not only was I excited to eat sushi & like it, but I was now "in the sushi club."

For my first blog entry about a place in the Lehigh Valley I am happy that TK's takes that number 1 spot. I will return to Kutztown, with my hubby, and eat there again.

We love to eat, so why not share our experiences

My hubby (who works in the food industry) & I live here in the Lehigh Valley and love good food. We are newlyweds and just purchased our first home. I am fairly new (about 3 years ago) to the area and have been learning my way around the valley by where we go out to eat. I have been reading food review blogs for sometime now (my favorite is: We Are Not Martha, google it, you'll find it and then love it too!) and thought it was time that we had something similar here. Currently, I am ending one phase of my life (graduate school) and moving into a new one (the job search) and thought this would be a good time to start something else new. I will state now that you will find spelling errors in this blog, if you don't like that, then don't read my blog, but you will know how I feel about the food I eat.
