    Review written 12/31/2025. Overly toasted bagel and even though email said order was ready, when I arrived there were no orders on pick up shelf. Waited at counter while employees completely ignored me. I asked if I could grab the bag myself and they said yeah and she seemed annoyed that I asked. If they are going to have a pick up shelf, why not use it? Yes someone could walk in and steal order BUT that could happen on the counter too. 💯 Also cup was not included with the order for my Sip Club membership. Even though I ordered it. So I had to grab and separate cup from a stack which I shouldn’t have to do because then I touch other people’s cups rims. Also to note: there is NO drive thru at this location

    I loved the healthy menu options and that you can choose your portion sizes with soups and sandwiches. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. The service was good. The Cashier answered my questions and was polite. There's also option to place your order on the computers in the store. The prices were affordable.
