I ordered tickets online for a show. The information stated the doors open at 8:00 and the show was at 9:00. The doors never opened until 8:30 and the show never started til 9:30. So we stood outside for a good 1/2 hour. The venue has an indoor and outdoor space. It’s definitely a locals hang out. Casual dress, dress up and you’ll probably be the only ones all dolled up. With the understanding of the name being “Jazz club” we anticipated a wonderful tribute show from a band in Jazz format not a regular live show band. There was nothing “Jazz-like” about the entertainment. They were extremely short staffed and the wait on food and drink long. I had ordered a shot and never got it. Prices seem...
We were looking for a breakfast spot by the river when we stumbled upon a café inside the courthouse. Wanting a change of scenery, we decided to give it a try. It was my first experience going through a security check before breakfast (chuckles). The café is conveniently located just inside the courthouse’s rear entrance. I ordered my usual – a plate of eggs, toast, potatoes, and sausage. Others in our group opted for bagel breakfast sandwiches. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced at about $5-6. After our meal, we took a tour of the courthouse, which turned out to be a wonderful experience. The unique breakfast setting added to the charm, and I was pleasantly surprised by the hist...
We were searching for a breakfast spot by the river and discovered that the café was located inside the courthouse, so we decided to check it out for a change. It was actually my first time being searched for weapons just to have breakfast! (smile) The café is positioned just inside the rear entrance of the courthouse. I ordered my usual: eggs, toast, and potatoes, along with sausage. Others in our group enjoyed bagel breakfast sandwiches. Everything was delicious and quite affordable, around $5-6. After breakfast, we took a tour of the courthouse, which was a pleasant surprise—what a unique breakfast experience paired with a dose of history! The rotunda is filled with an impressive amount o...
A huge thank you to Donna and her staff for another great event for us! This is the third time we’ve used Center City Cafe to cater a party and she did another amazing job. Everyone raved about the “build your own taco bar.” My favorite part was that Donna came to set up for us (every time), which took so much pressure off of us the morning of our event so we could concentrate on other things.

As for parking, there is general public parking available in the garage across North Street for both the café and the Courthouse. The restaurant is also accessible for everyone, thanks to a wheelchair lift at the courthouse. If you display your handicap placard at the parking lot entrance, you can park right by the public entrance.
Center City is easily the best lunch spot in downtown Wilkes Barre. The food is always delicious the specials are so creative. The lady behind the counter is so sweet and nice to talk to! Btw get your sandwich on the croissant if you can. It’s the best.
As for parking, it can be a bit challenging since the restaurant is situated inside the Luzerne County Courthouse. However, don’t let that deter you from enjoying some of the finest sandwiches in the Wyoming Valley. It's definitely worth a visit!
Had the pleasure of eating the sushi last night. Wilkes-Barre Roll and Edamame. The sushi was absolutely fabulous. I will be back for more. Well done!
