    CLOSED...CLOSED...CLOSED...CLOSED

    Blue Flame Cafe is permanently closed.

    R.I.P. Blue Flame Cafe. Good food, good prices, good people, good bye!

    Brookfield keeps closing well liked tenants to cut down on costs. Why not take the clocks, close the restrooms and turn off the lights too!!!

    Prices have gone up too much. Management obviously changed and for the worse! Waited 15 mins to checkout today. Never again.

    The Health Department has closed this business due to roach infestation. It is very disturbing if the cafeteria manager knew of this problem and didn't resolve it.

    This café is right in the building I work in. It comes in handy plenty times. It is also easy to access even if your not a tenant of the building. Simply let security know you are going to Blue Flame and they will lead you in the right direction.

    The food at this place is pretty good. Depending what you are looking to eat. They have many options. They have a grill section, sandwich section, and salad bar which comes in handy to make your own salad.

    Prices are not bad either. Nothing too expensive although at times some of the lunch options are average in taste and maybe overpriced a bit (specially the salads).

    They remodeled this café about 8 month ago now and there's plenty of seating area for you to find a seat by yourself or with a group.

    I would recommend this café for sure.

    If you want decent food, for a decent price, and a good view this is your place.

    I eat here frequently because I work in the building. They have a weekly menu at the front of the cafe that mentions the weekly specials. The good thing is that your food is not weighted like most cafeterias but just a flat rate. You really can't beat the salad bar here. They have a choice of mixed greens, spinach, romaine, and lots of toppings including chicken, tuna, couscous, and a number of macaroni salads. All you can pack in your take away box for $7.25, which is pretty good for downtown standards.

    There is always a grill special for a very decent price where they serve anything hot and fresh made as you are there. They have served pastrami sandwiches, tuna melts, fish tacos, hamburgers and just so much more. Additionally, there is a deli where you can order just about any cold sandwich.

    Breakfast is good and cheap. My favorite is the eggs salmon with hollandaise sauce, so delicious!  They also have a variety of breads in the morning, breakfast sandwiches, your basic eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon with biscuits and gravy.

    The cafe is located on the 2nd floor of the Gas Company Tower up the escalators to the lobby where you need to let security know you are there for the cafe. The security staff is always very friendly. They will direct you to two elevators on the far left side that are marked soley for the cafeteria. These elevators will take you up two floors the cafe will be on the west side depending on what elevator you came out of. The menus are located right in front before you enter the cafe.

    I really love the views here, especially for the price of the food.
