Had autumn soup and half sandwich, everything tasty. They were out of the tea that I liked, but had a couple of other choices.

My husband and I had a rare breakfast date here and enjoyed every moment. We tried a selection of breakfast items, including baked goods, an egg dish, cold drinks, and hot mocha, and everything was delightful. While the prices were a bit higher than a typical quick breakfast, the quality justified the cost. The dining experience was comfortable, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the environment was clean, and the dining room was well-stocked with everything you might need for coffee, tea, or breakfast. This is a must-visit when in the area!

This location is our go-to. It is always clean and the food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly, and Tae is amazing! He makes the food fast, accurately, and it always tastes fantastic. He remembers all of the regular customers, our favorite orders, and chats with us as he works. This is now our favorite breakfast location in town!

I usually order Rapid Pickup. Food is almost always consistently good. There is more often than not something missing from my order either food or utensils or sometimes both. I have chosen to get into the habit of checking the bag before leaving. Whenever I ask for the missing item(s), staff are typically quick and apologetic to fix.

The restaurant offers an incredible variety of food and drinks. While I opted for a salad, everything was extremely fresh. I particularly enjoyed the soup and sandwich choices. It's a great place to grab a booth and catch up with old friends.
