    This food is great….when they have it. ALWAYS OUT OF BAKERY ITEMS! I went there for a solid week and they were out of cinnamon crunch bagels every single time. You are better off going to the Panera off 14th street

    They charged me for a whole salad & wouldn’t even have the decency after MESSING up my order to give me a $1 soup with the half salad. The lady at the drive thru had no idea about the $1 soup add in so I had to tell her and she told me I could do it with a half salad. She then charged me for a full salad & the manger came over. She was dismissive & said she can’t give me a half salad with a $1 soup. Ma’am, it’s a $1. You just charged me for the wrong order & I have to wait 7 days to get my money back & you can’t give me a $1 soup??? Hahaha wowww
