    I went there for breakfast, but the available soups were quite limited. The sandwiches we ordered were okay, but the bell didn’t ring, so we didn’t realize our food was ready. The place was quiet though, which made it nice for a calm morning meal.

    Ordered online- food was ready about 8 minutes late and they were out of my wife’s Kitchen Sink cookie (bummer), but the super friendly girl at the window made up for it by tossing in a few extra cookies in the flavors they had. For me, that kind of customer service goes a long way! Food was hot, fresh, and made perfectly, and everyone we dealt with was sweet and professional. Even with the little hiccup, this location always delivers. We like this spot and will definitely be back!
