- JSJustine SaganNov 15, 20251.0The baguette was hard as a rock. The meat was a brick and extremely chewy. I wouldn’t recommend and will not be back.
- JSJesse SalasNov 7, 20251.0Went in there, was waiting in line. No one else was in line. I heard the workers complaining saying “ughhhh another customer?” And another said “you get it” and the other said “hell no you get it” and another said “be nice just go get it” and then one of them came out of the back, no smile, no “hey how are you what can I get you?” She just said “hi what do you need”
