I've had a great time the two other times I came here. Today, I came here at 7:20 (40 minutes before they closed) for a sandwich and a beer. A guy that I've never seen greeted us with "we close at 8. Dining in? Take a seat." We ordered a beer, then we never had a server come by again. We were studiously ignored (all eye contact avoided. If they accidentally glanced at our table, they fully turned away from us). We tried to get our server's attention for 25 minutes before we gave up and went to pay for our beer. When we went to pay, we asked the man who greeted us what time the kitchen closed (because we hadnt had this kind of experience before), and he said "we usually stop serving hot food at 7:30, especially if we've had a hard day."I get the frustrations of food service, but that was no reason to actively ignore us until we left. We would have been satisfied with them telling us the kitchen was closed/closing. The whole experience was a real shame.I don't know if I'll go back, but I'll post an update if I do, and my experience changes.UPDATE: we went across the street to Farelli's, and apparently, the employee is a known problem. The bartender saw us come from across the street and asked why we left, then said, "Was it the tall guy with the dark, curly hair?" He's got a reputation for sending business towards Farelli's!

The customer service is top tier when entering or leaving someone makes it their responsibility to speak.The atmosphere is soothing and always welcoming.One key component, you receive a glass of ice cold water and don't forget to ask for a straw ?

It was my first time visiting this restaurant at 11am on a weekday and though I had been to that shopping center multiple times I didnt realize that cute little restaurant was there. The menu was excellent, the food was fresh and delicious, and it was a great place to do so work with a cup of coffee and pastries. My only complaint was that I seated myself and wait 15 minutes for the waitress to finally come by and check on me and ask my order even after I watched her greet folks who came in well after I sat down. Funny thing is that I say at the table beside their prepping station! Ha SMH but anyway, the food was good....service not so great. Not sure it's worth my vote.

Great service, Mary Lo, was very helpful and made great recommendations on what we should try. This was our 1st time here. I really enjoyed the coffee and salads as well as the freshly made bread. We will definitely come back again.

Just ordered on Uber Eats and I’m unsure if in-store it’s a similar experience but this tiny tiny technically side salad was $14. Can we figure that out? The cup of soup was half empty as well. Everything tasted amazing but I spent $22 on lunch for what…Vegetarian options: Tempeh add on for protein

All around great experience. We had a charcuterie and turkey Pesto panini, and some drinks. There were many items on the menu we are looking forward to ordering on future visits. Happy hour all day weekends, this place was super affordable for a beautiful afternoon.
