Sometimes we come for a quick lunch or dinner. If you come for dinner, they don?t always have what you want for the pastry section. The first time we visit, we used the kiosk and it didn?t print out a receipt. The manager was very nice to help solve the issue. Highly recommend visiting this place. Lastly, food is good as usual!

When I picked up my food, I noticed at least five employees standing around at the pickup window, while customers were lined up waiting for help. The scene was chaotic, with orders piling up and no one attending to the customers. I get that there may be a shortage of staff, but it's still a restaurant, and patrons deserve to be served properly. The staff really needs to keep things organized and maintain a welcoming environment for diners.

The cashier told me they were out of baguettes and offered chips or an apple instead. I noticed two baguettes in the display case, but she explained those were for sale at $3.79 each, meaning I’d have to buy a whole one. I mentioned this to the young woman checking my order, who was not only very friendly but also kindly checked to see if they had any baguettes available. I believe her name was Paradise. Thanks to her, we were able to get a baguette for my wife’s soup. She truly made my wife’s day; it’s the little things that count! Paradise represents excellent service, and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge how much she improved our experience. – Jeff
