Cafe 128

Café 128 is a cozy little bistro only steps from the front door of the State House on West State Street. This charming little restaurant is the place to be and be seen. The food is always fresh and you can’t beat the food value. The ham and cheese special along with a hearty bowl of chicken soup is my favorite bill of fare. My frequent dining companion boasts that the tuna salad «is the best she ever had». They also serve a large variety of gourmet teas and coffees to complement the freshly baked pastries and desserts. The food is tasty and the service is hasty which makes Café 128 a place to visit when you are doing business in the Capital City.

Fresh and delicious food, friendly service and fair prices. This is my new favorite spot in Trenton when I visit for business trips!

Bustling new restaurant in downtown trenton. Get there early, or you won’t get a table. Nice selection of sandwiches, but I think they can up their seasoning. My friend got the grilled veggie sandwich, which had grilled veggies and fresh mozerella and olive oil. It could have used some spices, or a balsamic vinegrette, or some pesto or something. I had a grilled chicken sandwich. Again, it would have been better if the chicken had been marinated in something with a nice flavor. $ 10.00 for a sandwich and soda is a little pricier than other places in the neighborhood, but the quality of ingredients was high. I’ll probably go again, but will ask for something to jazz up the sandwiches.

The café has wonderful décor! The location is prime and the service was speedy. The breakfast menu is delightful! I would recommend this café to everyone ! My experience as a whole was grand :)

I was lucky enough to stumble into the Grand Opening of Café 128 one morning earlier this week. The new coffee house is located at the prime location directly across from the State House on West State Street, and situated in a walk down basement space that has been very nicely renovated into a subterranean cozy space. Plenty of exposed brick, wood and granite all around.
It was obvious they were still getting set up when I walked down the steps, but I was greeted warmly and welcomed to their new enterprise. They do breakfast and lunch and appear to have state of the art equipment, including point of service payment system that allows the customer to use the latest technology to cover expenses without the staff touching a credit card.
My order was a simple Everything Bagel with Butter and Swiss. While I did not ask for it toasted, it came out that way. No problem, as it appeared to have been pressed by a Panini iron that flattened the bagel, but also slightly melted the cheese and butter, but not enough to create a leakage issue. It tasted very good as I drove back to the office. The coffee was from the Small World Coffee people, and was a satisfying brew. The bagel was a good bite.
If this house can manage the flow of lunch customers in that small space, they have a great opportunity to do very well there. This stretch of West State Street in Trenton is very attractive these days, inviting people to walk and take their pleasures as they stroll.
The proprietors are accomplished in the food trade, with other shops in Pennington and the sushi bar at Trenton Social. They know «…Renton.»
Best of luck!
