    Outstanding, just an outstanding experience. I called in a last minute order for 10 people. I explained I was coming from Bucktown and that it was going to take me an hour to get to the location. Not only was my order ready, Gwendolyn can see I was experiencing a rough day. She made it better with her customer service and smile. Thank you Gwendolyn. 😊 This will be my go to for all my future orders.
