We visited this place for the first time, and the staff was incredibly friendly. They suggested the best option for a cold drink, which was very nice.
The staff was also very friendly and flexible with kids.
We will definitely be visiting again.

I had been ordering from this place regularly, but over the past few weeks I noticed the quality of their food getting worse and worse. Last week I ordered the Pretzel Melt - Spinach & Feta, and it turned out to be the worst breakfast I’ve ever had. The sandwich was moldy, old, and completely spoiled, and both my wife and I got sick afterward.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the only issue. A few weeks before that, I had an important meeting and placed my order 20 minutes before arriving. When I got there, not only was my order not ready, but the staff were casually chatting with each other even though there were no customers in the store. Because of their lack of care and attention to customers, I ended up being late to my important meeting. Truly unprofessional.
Because of the declining food quality, poor hygiene, and unprofessional service, I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone.
