    Easy to order. Plenty of parking. Order was out and ready for pickup on time. The orange scone and asiago bages were fresh and delicious.

    I ordered soup and salad ,the salad It was shriveled and old. Please do not give customers stale merchandise. I wish there was some oversight on this matter. We pay a sum of money to buy this food, and it is not our fault that your merchandise is spoiled and you sell it to us.

    Hopefully this reached to whom it may concern. I was emailed a survey, but I was unable to complete the survey but overall service with the staff. They’re pretty nice. I just don’t like the idea that the pastry the bread were out where flies can pitch on it. That’s very unsanitary that should be all be covered as we know it fly does leave droppings on your food so you should cover your food. Thank you.
