    Chipotle Avocado Chicken Melt is the best. They gave me bread when I asked for chips but other than that they have good service.

    This is my go to spot in btown. I absolutely loved coming here while i was in college. The bagels are excellent. The coffee is great and the coffee subscription is such a good deal. Itโ€™s easy to get to with a big parking lot. My food is always delicious and made quickly. I became very loyal to this place when covid shut down almost every other restaurant so i did most of my studying here.

    The restaurant was busy, but it looked like it had never been clean; every surface down to the floors were dirty. There is a fake fireplace up on a wall in the dining area that had about an inch of dust covering it. The vents had a lot of dust as well, and not once did I see any employee wiping down tables after people left; the customers had to wipe down the table before sitting down to eat. It appears to have very poor management, and a serious lack of communication. As for service' there is no service, as the customer has to order on a screen and then wait to have their name called only to squeeze through a crowd of other customers who are waiting on their food. The customer does all the work. The overall experience is that I would NOT recommend this restaurant. Where are the local health inspectors?
