Cafe 7

First the bad news. Avoid the nearby Disabled Parking spots. Avoid them like the plaque. While there is a nice spot right in front of the restaurant, the ramp ends with a level space that is not big enough to accommodate the chair. My son, who was pushing me up the ramp, had to hold on to the chair while he opened the door. Otherwise, I’d be rolling down the ramp backwards. Sorry, Café 7, that’s just not safe. Yes, somebody could open the door and another person could push me up the ramp and right into the restaurant, but, seriously….SERIOUSLY?!…

OK, there’s another Disabled Parking spot south a few spots. But that one is in terrible condition. Wheelchair wheels go spinning.

Inside, this is an order at the counter restaurant. You’re supposed to stand in an area right inside the door and fill out your order and then take it to the counter. They bring your order to you when it’s ready. And there’s a separate drinks/condiments station. Irritating if you’re in a chair. So make sure you have a pleasant helper that can fetch things for you. Back to that order form area – barely enough room for a party of 4 and certainly not for a party of 2, one of which is in a wheelchair.

There is room inside the restaurant to wheel around a bit. You can get to the bathrooms without having to move tables and people. And the bathroom is actually the best part of the experience. It does have a heavy door, but the room is large and there is a TP roll holder that you can move around.

Sorry for the Scream. But whenever there is a safety issue, the Scream comes out.

But take heart. If you enjoy their food, there’s a drive through window. Order your sandwiches and then go to the park to eat them.
