    Ordered the 4 cheese soufflé. It was cold and the bottom felt more like cardboard, definitely not worth the price. The other pastries were fine, way too much orange extract, but fine. I think I enjoyed my drink more the food to be honest. Place is cold, no greeting, no one to take my order which you do on a pad, then they want a tip. The only human contact I had was when someone called my name to pick up my order, might as well bought my food out of a vending machine.

    Dasani helped get the sandwich I wanted by letting me know the same ingredients for the seasonal Italian sandwich were available with the Fontina sandwich. My sandwich with ranch dressing (modified) was even better than the original!! Thank you Dasani!! You’re the epitome of excellence in customer service!!
