    It's a chain restaurant with counter service, good bagels, pretty good coffee, and welcoming staff. We like them.

    Music doesn't mesh with the clientele....seriously. Booths and walls are in need of cleaning....especially next to seat cushions.

    Ordered hot crème brûlée latte, got iced latte. Didn’t taste any coffee in it. Ordered hot Madagascar vanilla latte and it wasn’t the same as I ordered before. Very disappointed.

    It's extremely annoying to place a rapid to go item and then have to wait in line to speak to a cashier to get it when there is a place already assigned for pick up. If I wanted to wait, I would have waited to order.
