    Ovens must not work properly here. Ordered food on the app and picked it up immediately. Went to my car to eat real quick before going back to work and sandwich was cold. Not warm. Cold. Went back in and told them the issue. I asked for a new sandwich or a refund. They made another sandwich very quick which was great but this time half the sandwich was warm and half was cold. Wasted $8 on a sandwich the employees couldn't get right twice. Very disappointed

    The person at the counter was very nasty and had a bad attitude! If you have customer ordering then you must present a proper attitude. The food was fine but not their kale salad taste a bit too sweet for my taste
