    The photo speaks for itself. I just found the dead fly after eating more than half of the fruits. Is this considered a health hazard or is it OK to have a fly in your fruit salad?

    I wish I could give 0 stars but I can't TLDR: If you have allergies or a dietary restriction do NOT come. I ordered a bacon tomato egg sandwich because it was one of the only sandwiches without cheese. I have a very severe dairy allergy and I have to carry an Epi-pen. When I ordered I let the worker know of my allergy and to clarify asked if there was any butter, cheese or cream cheese, to which she responded "no it's dairy free". Once I got my order I noticed a creamy white and red sauce, feeling concerned I decided to just make a quick double check online and see if they had an allergy menu. On the online allergy menu I noticed it said the sandwich and tomato spread sauce both contained milk. So I went back to the front and asked again if it had dairy and what kind of sauce was on my sandwich? She assured me it was dairy free but when I asked about the sauce she said it was indeed tomato spread. Then she made a snipped comment "do you even know what dairy is?". This shocked me, as if I haven't been dealing with a life long dairy allergy. Of course I want to exercise some caution when it comes to my health and I did not expect this kind of demeaning remark to come out of the worker. Nevertheless I was still worried and she said she could ask her manager, so I asked if she could check the allergy menu as well. Once the manager came out and checked, it turns out the sandwich they served me did have dairy in it. Not once did I get an apology for the snide remark or their mistake. I even heard the same worker making jokes like "oh what if the avocados have dairy". I will never be coming back and I recommend anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions to avoid this place as well.
