Food was so flavorful and delicious! We just loved it!
Chicken Sumac is delicious on dutch bread. The bread is soft but a little crispy on outside. And sumac is unique tasting and mildly tangy. The staff keep everything running smoothly and all the items are delicious. Sandwiches are fresh and interesting. Desserts look good too. Will have to come back and try more items.
Absolutely delicious sandwiches and coffee.
