What People Are Saying
from Google"Amazing Rueben Sandwich with Gluten Free bread option! Loved it soo much went back twice in the same day to get another! Reasonable prices and nice smiling faces behind the counter when I ordered. Ate my meals on a comfy leather couch there and just basked in the perfection of this unexpected gem of an experience!"
"Super cute cafe with a small but delightful menu. Coffee, sandwiches, snacks... you shouldn't leave unsatisfied. I had a turkey club with fries. Very tasty!"
"Nice place in the middle of McLean. The service was good, handled by teenage kids, but they forgot our drinks and didnt offer any condiments for sandwiches. The food was completely boring. If sweet stuff is open, go there. Your stomach and your wallet will thank you later!"
"Haven't been to the restaurant personally but have ordered delivery a couple times. First few times I had the burger and chicken sandwich which were actually great! Both items tasted fresh and flavorful. Just recently ordered a burger and I don't know what happened but I've never had a burger so gross. The patties were super thick for a "Smashburger". Terribly dry and just an awful taste. Resembled a school lunch burger but worse. It's a shame because before, it tasted really great. Unless they switch back, DO NOT get the burger."
"Cool place with good vibe , I heard lots of good things about this place unfortunately Maybe the people who work over there didn’t have a good day in time of my visit so it’s effect their service . Food was simple and they try to make it healthy as possible . Coffee and smoothies was good . To me sandwich and break fast dishes was average and a little bit over price ( but you are in prestige neighbourhood) . Thursday evening they have somebody to play guitar which make this place even more pleasant. Place is nice ,clean , simple and lovely !"
