I love going to Cafe Lit especially to get work done or see friends! Food is great! I've tried most of their items and they're all pretty good! My favorite is the Smoked BBQ Pork pizza! The only downside is, there are not many charging outlets and their seats aren't the most comfortable.

Great local place to hang out or to grab a quick bite. There's plenty of seating to bring your laptop and do some work while enjoying coffee and a sammie. They mostly offer personal pizzas and sandwiches. The breads on the sandwiches and the crust on the pizza is excellent, but the toppings can be pretty bland or just weird on some of their offerings. The Smoked BBQ and Corn is my go-to pizza, but I've tried almost all of them. The sandwiches offer a good variety of flavors. The service is usually quick and friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic both inside and out.

Ate there today, highly recommend. This has been my daughter’s go to place as a student at Purdue and was her requested place for her last meal before moving out of the area. I’ve had their take out a few times which has always been good, but was even better dining in today! I am picky about chicken but tried the Caprese chicken sandwich. It was amazing and I ate the whole thing, which says a lot. Good portions, fair prices, fresh tasty food, casual cozy atmosphere. Love this place!
