We observed an employee bringing food to other customers’ tables, so I tipped 15% expecting table service. Instead, my name was just called out by the same employee for pickup—twice. I don’t mind counter service at cafes, but why were we treated differently than everyone else there?
The coffee was below average, much better options nearby like Hidden House. My $18 salad was decent but overpriced. My partner’s French toast was over-soaked, so the texture was off. They’d also run out of napkins and offered paper towels instead.
The place seemed operationally overwhelmed. We won’t be returning.

How is this place not packed? I came in at 9 AM on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. The food is outrageously good. I feel like for what they give you, it’s reasonably priced though definitely not cheap. But the ingredients are really good. Everything tastes a little better than you think it should. Also, the shopping center is really cozy and cute. A lot of nostalgia. Feels like back in 90s America highly recommend. I had their breakfast bowl and their double chocolate cookie. Couldn’t go wrong with that. Can’t wait to come back and try everything.

Whether you’re gluten-free by choice or necessity, you’ll be thrilled with the variety and taste here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy spot with amazing food and even better service!

I’ve tried the tuna sandwich and the chicken Caesar wrap. They are both delicious. The chicken Caesar wrap is my favorite! I feel like the prices are really good for how healthy and clean all the food is. The vegan date Chia cookies is also delicious!
