    I paid $18 on new year and never got to pick up my food. Food was ready but employee took it to the back and ate it. Not allowing people to pick up their food so you can get free meal is unacceptable

    My order was ready at 4.55 pm on new year. They shut the door right before 5pm. Came at 5pm to pick up my food and they never let me in. Staff saw me knock and never open. Horrible customer service. Then i saw an employee pick up my food and go to the back.

    I know it’s an off time of day but this visit was very disappointing. Coffee is cold. Bagel is stale and they only have plain and honey walnut cream cheese now . $10 and the only thing drinkable was the carton of apple juice.
