    Nothing is really wrong here, and that’s kind of the problem. The food is fine, predictable, edible. Service is okay. The place is clean. But the vibe just isn’t there. It feels more like a waiting room than a café. You come in, eat, and leave without any urge to linger or come back soon. No warmth, no character, no small detail that makes you think “yeah, this place gets it.” Not bad. Not good. Just aggressively average. If you need something quick and safe, it works. If you’re looking for atmosphere or a reason to stay, keep moving.

    $9.37 for half of a chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich. That price is unbelievable. Never coming back.

    35$ for 2 sandwiches and drinks. Garbage quality. Self check out has 100 pop ups and wants all of your information. No registers open. Dirty.
