Our experience at a restaurant may have a lot to do with timing. Go during slow hours, and you may be the only party there, as was the case when my brother and I went to Kaleidoscope Cafe. Arrive on a busy weekend evening, and you're much more likely to find yourself waiting for a table with exasperated staff miserably milling about and food that tastes like it was thrown together in a hurry because it probably was. Of course, that's just a general rule, and something tells me that rule doesn't apply here.\n\nThis was only my first time here, so I really couldn't say how things would be during busier times. I will say, my overall experience seems consistent with the other positive reviews Kaleidoscope Cafe has garnered.\n\nWith that being said, I have nothing but good things to say about this place and my experience there. The menu was interesting, the food was good, the staff were all very welcoming, attentive, and affable. There's a nice spectrum of prices. Definitely keep in mind it's BYOB and that can certainly free up some money to spend on food, which is really nice. It's casual, nothing fancy with an interesting mix of Yinzer along with that typical Lawrenceville hipster feel to it. Whatever it is, the place definitely has its charm, and it's so close yet so far from the comparative hustle and bustle of Butler Street, which of course is a plus when it comes to parking. \n\nI guess what I'm saying is, this is a very cool little place. Don't be afraid to give it a try.
