Cumberland Cafe

Have only been here two different times but the food was delicious! Their main menu items are soup and sandwiches. The sandwiches are large! The soup I ordered was Stuffed-​Pepper soup and it was very tasty! The man and woman working the counter were friendly and patient while we decided what to order. There is very limited seating.

Small little sandwich shop on the first floor of the Allegany Museum building. This is clearly intended to be a «grab ‘n go» sort of place for people to grab breakfast or lunch during the workday rather than a true sit-​down restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables in two separate rooms to allow you to sit down and eat. Honestly, we were just downtown on a quick business call and so this worked out perfectly.
They have a fairly limited menu with a handful of custom sandwiches. The ingredients were fresh and the sandwiches we had were delicious. Service was a bit slow, but that was because of the three people working, one was in and out making deliveries, and the other seemed to be the first day on the job.
The atmosphere is not like you’d get at Queen City Creamery, or some of the other true restaurants downtown, but I’m hesitant to be critical. This sort of small business is exactly what downtown Cumberland needs more of, and hopefully more small entrepreneurs like this will be able to find footholds and help rebuild the downtown area.
