    Hey girlfriend, this is a great place to go for lunch. Good food plenty of seating sometimes it does get crowded but that’s what any place these days. They have a great assortment of bakery items. Also good coffee nice assortment of cheese to choose from and a good menu. They had had a little bit of a downswing for a while with their service but it’s gotten a lot better so it’s just a lovely place to have lunch with a friend

    I can't think of another restaurant that so consistently prepares your order wrong. 100% check it before you leave if you're doing takeout, and be prepared to flag someone down to fix something.
