    As soon as I entered, one of the workers named Nancy was so welcoming and lovely. I noticed her interactions with many of the other customers. She is so kind and friendly, immediately makes the atmosphere feel so welcoming. Nancy’s customer is top tier I had to write a review about it

    Another failed rapid pick up ordering experience at this location. Not sure who manages lunch during the week but needs serious improvement.

    Ordered 3 bagels and they took 15 mins to slice and toast them, and there was no line when I ordered. Can the Asiago bagels are tiny now!
