The staff is always very knowledgeable as to what they offer on their menu and always share their recommendations on the meal and are usually on point. The restaurant is clean. Even on their busiest hour your food is still received fresh and hot. Crystal has awesome customer service skills and just about knows everyone in the building.

I had the Philly cheesesteak here. Very fresh ingredients and too greasy like most places.Side salad was fresh yes, but unimpressive.I can't wait to try more of their sandwiches

I got the club sandwich and turkey avocado. They were tasty but a bit small since we got the half.I would try the Angus burger next time.

Such a good place. The hot chai tea latte honestly the best I have ever had. Definitely recommend

Some food items are okay but other items are laughable. I ordered an avocado toast, I'll let you decide if it looks good.Most, if not all, their bakery items look like they come from costco's bakery section. They had a few times were they sold what looked like non store bought muffins but that was only for a short period.Coffee is pretty good though.

Apparently you can't access this coffee shop unless you're an employee of the building. There should be signs on the exterior signs stating as much. What a waste of my break!

Had to stop by the county clerk and the wait was 45 min. I grab a half sandwich and their home chips, So good service was prompt after ordering it only took 15 min. Staff was friendly and place seemed cleaned.

Updated:I was confronted by the owner while having personal lunch in the building. Joe was very kind, offered an apology for the poor service & sad bowl that was previously served. We had a nice chat about the person in question and they no longer are employed at the cafe. I was given a replacement bowl to make up for the last, it was made properly. Still had frozen berries, which I agreed to, as they were out of fresh. Kind of a disappointment as Joe assured me there were fresh berries available now.Previous, 1 star review:I work in the building & I order semi regularly from this cafe. Every single time, there is an issue. The "manager" charges differently, for the same item, depending on how she feels at the moment. I have called her out on it, but she'll make up random excuses for her actions. The order online option for time selection for pickup is more of a guestimation... I've waited 10+ min for orders on numerous occasions; all while they're not busy and the order is scheduled 15+ min in advance.Today was a new & fun experience, they're getting stingy with their acai bowls. They haven't had proper stock for the items included in the bowls for quite sometime but today, while waiting and watching my bowl be made, I noticed that the employee filled the bowl with excessive amounts of granola. I asked if this was new, she stated this is how she always makes them. I've ordered this particular bowl 5+ times and never seen that much granola. Photo below is after I physically dumped out all loose granola. Also, the 16 oz bowl will run you $9+... I've included a photo to show the excessive amounts of "filler"The staff are rude and inconsistent, the food is overpriced and mediocre... the only benefit is location but they're never open during the actual hours stated, either late to open and/or early to close.

What a cute cafe on the 1st Floor of the County Admin. building! Got a small Americano w/ steamed Oat Milk for an early am treat. I wasn't hungry @ the time but kept eyeing a picture of a breakfast croissant with bacon, folded egg, and avocado with cheese. After my appointment, I went back and ordered the breakfast croissant sandwich, adding avocado; I love it when a place serves breakfast all day. I told the lady "I want what is in that picture" LOL. And then with my little eye, I spy yummy desserts & snagged the last piece of the "Outrageously Chocolate Cake." The lady said that it sells out all the time, & having devoured it without breathing, I can tell you it hits the spot for all Chocolate Lovers :) All of the staff were kind and helpful; The lady packaged my cake separately from the hot item, with napkins and utensils included. I love a really nice cafe that has various options; I see they even had ready-made smoothies, along with a wide assortment of sandwiches & salads. Even a ginger beer - one of my favorite drinks- though today I opted for the Pineapple Perrier. They also have Mexican food and other snacks if you are craving some other delicacies. Thanks to the wonderful staff & excellent food.

Yum Yum and Yum. A little on the pricey side but always a great place to go. Even if you are having dinner, you can stop in for dessert and coffee first. ;) The service is always friendly and very good. I've been here a handful of times and never been disappointed.

This place gets 5 stars for two reasons...1) good food and 2) no matter how bad I'm feeling, this offering on their doordash menu gets me laughing every time. I've actually called them and mentioned it, but it never gets removed. Maybe it really IS an explosive sandwich?

This a hidden little gem we just happened to stumble upon. The Filet Mignon Crepe will bring you to tears. Highly Recommend.
