I am OBSESSED with this place. Tried it randomly out of convenience and haven’t stopped returning.. truly a gem! The sandwiches are so delicious. Not to mention - very affordable and the portions are generous! The cookies are great too. Everything is made fresh and with care. You won’t be disappointed…. It’s one of those places you could build a routine around.. sadly I live in NYC and am only here briefly for work - will be missing this spot when I’m gone

Very friendly, quick service. Employees had smiles on their faces and seemed to be genuinely enjoying being there. The salad was so fresh and savory, and the sandwiches were flavorful and filling. Will definitely stop here again next time I visit!

I usually get a salad or sweet potato fries which I always enjoy. But today I enjoyed a cold brew. Everything is always good. Once I placed an order for a salad and they called me to let me know that the dressing I choose had dairy because I noted I had a daily allergy. I was very impressed by this!
