I appreciated the space they had and the consistent friendliness of all who worked there. My favorite treat was the poptart still thinking about several weeks later! Looking forward to visiting again.

But my experience was not so. We were served our two chickpea wraps warm, they are traditionally a cold wrap made as an alternative to chicken salad or tuna salad. There were minimal chickpeas and they were thrown in whole. BUT being warmed up I could deal with, why I leave the one star is the mayonnaise was thrown into the wrap and the warmed up which liquified it. The wrap was put in our containers in a puddle of that melted/liquified mayo. The fact that the person that made it knew they had a dripping mess on their hands and still chose to place it into the container is awful. We paid $10 apiece for two soggy disappointing messes. One didn’t actually have all the ingredients included. We will not be back.
