Food is overpriced and small portions. Korean lady has a angry face all the time. Too bad it's the only cafe for the whole building where you don't have to walk too far

Do NOT eat here. It's very tempting because there is a nice area outside with trees, tables, a fountain or two but the little cafe is terrible. I ate with 4 other friends and none of us enjoyed our lunch. Bland tasting, too much mayo, stale bread and the little bit of a salad they give you on the side--yuck. It doesn't matter if it's potato salad, pasta salad, whatever...none of them tasted good either. And my sandwich was warm-ish, like the stuff inside it isn't kept cold enough. When I bit into my sandwich, it tasted like everything had been left out on the counter for hours before the sandwich was made. It's a shame because this place could make so much money right in the middle of a bunch of offices but the food is just terrible. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Garden like setting is the nicest thing about the place. Food with decent, cooked fresh. Basic coffee was good.

Overpriced for small portions. I go here occasionally when I forget my lunch and they do roast a turkey every day and seem to have relatively fresh ingredients. But they are just too stingy! $8 for 2 cups romaine and 1 small ice cream scooper of tuna. There is a reason they are in the middle of 2 full office buildings and never have more than a few people inside in middle of lunch rush. I have 14 people in my office and no on goes here anymore because they always feel ripped off. Today was last time for me unless they change their prices or menu or something. Your servings are too small for the prices you are charging. For $8 next time I'll walk a few blocks and get something else.

Very nice quiet patio setting with palm trees, ferns, and water fountains, old fashioned cup of coffee or cappuccino, no goofy Starbucks lingo here. Fresh food. The lady is not rude or mean, it's just her personality, she is nice enough when you are nice to her.

My neighbor loves this place. I went with her today to try it. I ordered the roast turkey on sourdough. Very plain sandwich with lettuce & tasteless tomato. The bread was so stale it crumbled. I asked for fresh bread on the untouched half. Would you believe I was given it back with another piece the stale bread? I gave up on the bread after that. Will not be returning. Also the server was very cold mannered.

The first day I went in there the lady was rude to the person in front of me and then rude to me. I wasn't going to go back. I went back in a week later. She was the opposite this time and nice. I don't know maybe she was having a bad day the first time I went in. Either way there's way to much competition to go somewhere and be treated rudely. I only went back in there because it was convenient.

My office is in the building next door so i enjoy eating here for a treat. Good food (they have a fresh roast turkey to make turkey sandwiches) and coffee is good. The staff are really nice and accomadating. Place is clean. The bathroom is in the building next to it which was different. I enjoy sitting by the fountains and trees too. Very peaceful!

The Grilled cheese with bacon is pretty good.. There's not much of a variety, but their pastas are well made and right portion (not too if, but enough to satisfy the carb needs). The chicken salad sandwich is IK, but came with fresh tomorrow's and greens. I've tried their chicken burrito as well, As far as texture, this burrito has it, but it can get too wet because of the chicken and beans smacked in their juices. Overall, not a bad place to eat during lunch, plus the surrounding is beautiful.

I love their breakfast sandwiches!!! And their customer services is the best, always smiling and super nice no matter what time of the day it is!!

The service is great, and the food is rock solid and always fresh. Try the turkey or the lunch specials.
