Fantastic lattes, breakfast burritos/wraps, and bagels. Their veggie cream cheese is cream cheese with carrots, cucumbers and... tomatoes - it's delicious and they cook their eggs perfectly. Highly recommend breakfast here. They have a good selection forlunch. Read more
Nice staff and delicious sandwiches! Watch the door...it sticks a little.
Excellent coffee, great breakfasts on the go if you don't feel like deal with the crazy lines of the more popular breakfast... places. Their breakfast burritos really did a great job of tiding me over for a long time, especially as I generally have ahollow leg. Read more
To begin, I can't stress enough that the food and drinks were amazing, they tasted wonderful! There were only two downsides to... my visit. The first downside being they were out of bagels, yet they were still there on the chalkboard menu, a menu that caneasily be changed by simply striking it out, or erasing it. But this isn't really much of an issue. The second one being theservice. Most of the staff there was extremely friendly except for one. This was the woman who was at the register for mysignificant other and I. She had a complete lack of social skills, and my girlfriend said made "everything feel depressed."While nobody can control what may be going on in her life, she shouldn't be in a position that requires social skills. After mygirlfriend ordered, I was going to order and she simply stared at me, not any sort of "and what can I get for you?" She clearlydidn't want to be there. I was debating making my rating a 3/5 but simply because the food was spectacular I am keeping a4/5. My recommendation, put this staff member in a different position such as in the kitchen, a busser, or something thatdoesn't involve much customer interaction because it clearly isn't her forte.

Why do we punish ourselves by allocating breakfast sandwiches to just the AM hours? As if we needed to reward ourselves for... getting up early but make that reward really mean something by not having it at other times of the day. This place makes merethink that breakfast sandwiches for just breakfast policy, there breakfast sandwiches are simply are outstanding. Sure thecoffee's good here but where this place stands out is those amazing selection of sandwiches and baked goods. Ingredients alltaste, they use just the right amount and keep it simple as it should be. Combine all that with extremely fair prices and astaff so friendly they make you think about giving up your career and learning how to be a barista just to hang out with them,and you have a win.
