Got my orders completely wrong.. It wasn’t busy I was the only one there… I really don’t understand how you can mess up a simple order

9/15/24 Our book club meets at this location fairly regularly. We usually have a pretty decent experience. We all come in from various locations to meet at this central location to us. We’re a group of moms of varying ages, well over college-age. The food here is always delicious, which keeps us coming back.
On a recommendation, we were encouraged to try the Sweet Orange Bread. Two of us decided to share a slice. They had all of these beautiful inch-thick slices under a glass dome and they gave us a quarter-inch end piece.
We asked for a better slice of this orange bread and they refused to switch it. Instead, we were told that it’s the end piece so it’s a little smaller. “Same price?” No answer. They said if we want a real slice, we would have to buy another one. We walked away feeling like we were putting them out. They should have made this right. (This particular piece should never have been sold to begin with.)
We are all associated with many other clubs who look for places to meet regularly. We will think twice about coming here next time.
99% of my reviews are five ⭐️ to help small businesses. This place let us down with their inability to see that the slice they gave us was severely lacking compared to the large, beautiful pieces next to it. The hot chocolate had way too much chocolate and was not very good, but their lunches were great. Some of us had pizzas and some of us had salads. No complaints about anything else. Overall a nice experience, aside from the sweet bread incident.
Dietary restrictions: They offer you the end piece of bread for the same price of a regular slice. That will keep you slim.

Ate there today, highly recommend. This has been my daughter’s go to place as a student at Purdue and was her requested place for her last meal before moving out of the area. I’ve had their take out a few times which has always been good, but was even better dining in today! I am picky about chicken but tried the Caprese chicken sandwich. It was amazing and I ate the whole thing, which says a lot. Good portions, fair prices, fresh tasty food, casual cozy atmosphere. Love this place!

This is cozy eclectic cafe. I was craving pizza, I eat once in blue moon and they had the vegan option and made it so crunchy stone baked pizza.

Update:Every single time I’ve come here in the last 2 years I wait at the register area to order for at least 5-10 minutes before an employee casually strolls over and asks if they can help. The entire time waiting no one even acknowledges us saying they’ll be with us shortly or anything like that. The food is usually great, but not even sure about that anymore since everytime I go I end up leaving since no one is there to take my order. I’ve tried their ordering kiosk once and our order came out after about 30 minutes (there were only 2 other parties there and they ordered AFTER us) and the order came out wrong. So disappointing, this place used to be great.Great food and great atmosphere here. There are several seating options that you can choose depending on what you're looking for, and availability.
