What People Are Saying
from Google"I am glad we finally stopped in and we will be back. The espresso alone would be worth the trip back. I am pretty picky and snobbish when it comes to my coffee and espresso and they are doing it right. My rice bowl was tasty and my wife enjoyed her salad. Call ahead for a quicker grab and go or enjoy a slower paced and relaxed atmosphere. I recommend to locals and out of towners."
"Lovely little spot with the cutest aesthetic and environment. This restaurant is in an old bank and all of the original floors and stands are still used which I find unique. There’s a few places to sit, you can park across the road as well. From the outside to inside it’s very cozy and vintage in a sense. They offer outdoor seating as well. I find it super kind that they also have a little kid play area as well. The food was simple comfort food. The only downfall is that in a tight area with many customers it can end up taking a bit of time to get what you need. Overall though, this is a must stop by type of spot!"
"The Vault is amazing. Don't let the location sway you from making the drive out. The place is wonderfully decorated and unique. The staff were awesome, friendly and really fun to talk to. They have a rotating menu and this week I tried Almond French Toast and Corned Beef Hash. It was perfect - I have no complaints. My chai latte and black tea were great too. Great prices, great food, great staff and great ambience makes this a must visit. Highly recommend!!"
"Delicious tea and homemade cookies! Can't wait to try more of the food! Great little place in Gilbert!"
"I work close by, so eat here ALOT. Generous portions, great prices and exceptionally fresh....always. I'm one of those people that pretty much never wants it quite the way is comes, but they always accommodate my wishes, without eye-rolling about it (well, at least to my face:-). One of my top ten places to eat in Story County."
