    $9 for a bowl of soup? I ordered the broccoli cheddar soup. Came out to $9 , there is literally no meat in it . Such a rip off.

    I normally don't review chain locations like this but this was honestly a little disappointing. The service was awful. I understand it's New Year's Day, but the workers (save for one very polite man) were all apathetic and a little depressed. They were very monotone when conversing with my family, making me feel as if there was an inconvenience simply with my presence. It was very unwelcoming. I ordered a broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl with chips (as I was expecting to receive bread already as the bowl) but AFTER placing the order was when I was informed there was no bread bowls. I was unable to change out the order and received no bread. Disappointing, but even more, they refused to compensate with an extra side of baguettes. A little unfair, but we paid for extra bread anyways (which was sadly doughy and floury, just generally underbaked). The overall impression here was that the workers didn't care much for service, rather just collecting a paycheck. There was no green tea, though we were charged for some. The dispenser was empty and the sign completely gone. The bread was slightly burned (and as stated above, somehow underbaked as well??). The place was pretty empty, and for some reason it felt too empty and somber. It gave vibes of "you just walked in someplace you shouldn't have". Overall I feel that the workers act as though my family's purchases were an inconvenience, and we felt unwelcome. I hope those people find a little peace over the weekend, as they clearly need it. Shoutout the very friendly tall male worker. Probably the only friendly person in this place.
