I ordered a sausage and bacon croissant Sandwich to go. It had two little pieces of bacon and was covered with cheese. So I took it back; they made a new sandwich, but one piece of bacon was split in half. I'm never going back.

$30 for full basil, bacon, tomato, lettuce sandwich and a half stuffed chicken Caesar and 2 drinks. It was like $11 for the Caesar that she tried to tell me "there is no size" its HALF ok! For that amount it wasnt even fully stuffed. Also one half of my other sandwich had ONE little slice of bacon, 3 tomatoes, and lettuce, so basically $6 for bread, and lettuce. Place was also dirty.

Nearly 40$ for two pick 2 meals and a drink is WILD. 🤦♂️ the food wasn't bad, but i definitely can not afford to eat here regularly. Yikes. Good thing we're grocery shopping after we leave, because I'm still hungry. 🙁

My “grilled cheese” was raw bread with barely melted cheese and the tomato soup was grainy and acidic. I took one bite and immediately spit it out. A total waste of 10$.

Prices are insane and portions have shrunk. $7 for a quarter of a sandwich. The bread isn't even the same anymore. Cheap ingredients and high prices. My sandwich is the width of a fork.
