    Food is wonderful, service is quick and prices are affordable. However the space isn't clean and perhaps that has to do with the staff shortage. Other than that great breakfast 😋

    One of the best Einstein experiences Ive had. Great sandwiches and people Sunday morning. Fast with preparation too. Only downside was lack of seating, as it gets packed easily and they only had one high chair, but turnover was somewhat quick and we grabbed a table within 10 minutes.
