    The building caught fire and is heavily damaged. This location may never open again after just a few years of operation. This was a nice cafe when it was open.

    Came here on Saturday night around 8:25, All of the front lights were already off, but I was sure it said online they close at nine. We decided to go to the drive-through to see if anyone would answer, After a minute, a girl did and when we asked for a few minutes to look at the menu, she screamed “huh”. All of us could tell she was annoyed that she actually had to work, After we placed our order, we could hear her say on the microphone sarcastically , “ Imagine coming in before closing”. I don’t want to be a jerk as my family owns Restaurants, I know how it is when customers come in the last minute, but I would think that over 30 minutes before they close was reasonable. The food was decent, but it was sad to see poor employees treating customers that way. She would not have lasted two weeks working for me. The girls name was Desiree F as written on our receipt

    The past few times I’ve gotten food/a drink from here, there’s been something wrong with it. It’s a bit overpriced for the underwhelming products.
