I love the sandwichs here. But I was very despoint with the mac salad teast and size for the price I paid. if I pay 7 plus the tax I would think I was getting a Fair size but it was an 8 oz for the price.

I eat here about once every 1-2 weeks and the food is decent but the service is worst out of all the SJ restaurants/ cafes I’ve ever been to. Usually have to repeat my order 2-3 times to different workers before they manage to get it right. Very poor customer service/ stiff attitude as if it’s a huge inconvenience that I’ve ordered something, which I know is a lot to ask…at a literal cafe 😅

So when in the area I loved to stop here for lunch. However, during my last visit during a non peak time period I found the staff to be slightly disinterested in serving me than in the conversation they were having in the kitchen.
Sadly that day the Mac n cheese was underwhelming and was below my previous experiences.
It isn't a great experience when you feel like your visit is an inconvenience to the staff.
