What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"The cashier (Asian man) I’m not sure if he is the owner or manager but he is extremely rude and only care about taking your money. The food isn’t great it’s just convenient for employees/visitors in the Fairchild Building. The items here are EXTREMELY overpriced and not worth it. He display Costco brand items in the back that he uses. My final straw purchasing was I ordered chicken tenders & fries and he charged me 50 cent for dipping sauce. I will not ever purchase or recommend anyone here again. I’ve tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt but every time I come here he’s rude (throwing the food to you, just handing you the container with no bag until you ask, doesn’t give an receipt until you ask, placing the receipt on the counter instead of handing it to you). Customer service goes a long way I will say that. Bad customer service, overpriced food and items, not so great tasting food isn’t a great combo in my opinion."

"This is such a hidden gem. I love their breakfast sandwiches -- egg and cheese on a croissant? Delicious! Their service can be a bit slow, so only go if you're not in a hurry. And, they have a $5 minimum to pay with a credit card. But overall, I'm a fan :)"
