I watched this restaurant open and avoided it since I didn't need another sandwich shop. I finally broke down and went in. The selection of food was good , not just sandwiches. The food was fresh and the service was really good even for a cafeteria style place. I now go in a weekly basis and don't get bored by eating the same thing all.

I paid $4.75 and when I tried the smoothie, it tasted terrible - oily and watery. I went back down to the counter to speak with the server, but he just pointed to a poster and said that was the recipe. I explained that it didn't taste right, but he dismissed my complaint. I asked for a refund, but he rudely told me not to come back. He eventually gave me my money back, but not before loudly stating that I was the only one with an issue. If you want to experience poor service, go to La Prep. I will be filing a complaint.

Despite initially avoiding it because I didn't need another sandwich shop, I eventually gave in and decided to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of food options available, not just sandwiches. The food was fresh and the service was excellent, even though it's a cafeteria-style setting. I now visit this restaurant on a weekly basis and never get tired of the menu.
