I was so disappointed. My panni was wet and the bread fell apart. I asked for and paid 2 for extra cheese and didnt even have enough cheese for a regular sandwich. For 15 it was the worse sandwich ever. The chai latte wasnt very good as well

I went here with some friends for brunch, and the food was pretty good! I got a Sweet Temptation (mascarpone and strawberry jam) and a plain bagel with cream cheese! I also got an iced chai latte, but I found it to be a little too bitter for my taste. Other than that, it's a good place to hang out with friends, do some work, etc.!

The goat cheese salad was really disappointing. The lettuce looked dry, almost like it hadn’t been rinsed or refreshed. The chicken seemed premade rather than freshly cooked, and it was served cold. Although the employee was kind enough to warm it up for me, it didn’t make much of a difference. Overall, not worth $14.

The servers skip us multiple times and when we asked for our order we were told that it’s busy so we would have to just have to wait. The drinks were bad, we couldn’t even finish them. We dumped them out.

Our family’s favorite go-to spot for lunch or a coffee/work date 🥪☕️💻. My husband and I take turns coming here when we have to work and it’s too chaotic at home or when we’re meeting up with coworkers. Also, a great brunch spot on the weekends when the in-laws visit, but it’s so popular on Sundays that you have to make sure to get there and grab a table before they’re all full up! Also, they start serving lemonade during the Summer season and it’s perfect for me, not too sweet and not too sour 🍋. Kudos!
Great breakfast spot
Saw Phantom Gourmet decal, I needed to try. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming as soon as I walked in. Greeted with a smile always puts you in a great mood. Delicious plain bagel, soft and fresh to the bite. Had plain cream cheese, almost whipped like a cloud from heaven. Will be back to try their other items.

The only 2 (sorta bad) things that I can say about this are that the panini are huge, and the smoothies only come in one size. Other than that, great food fast service.
Worst chicken caesar wrap I’ve had. Was falling apart, dressing wasn’t mixed in so lettuce was dry, and I bit into a STAPLE. Nasty. I should have taken a picture but I was so shocked! At least they gave me my money back….after I asked.
