Was brought here by a coworker for breakfast and it was a great meal. The burritos and bagels are well made and a great value, while the selection of hot sauces on the wall are a nice touch.
I actually don’t mind the completely automated ordering system through tablet, but they could do a much better job presenting what’s on their menu. The slideshow on the nearby monitors isn’t the best or informative presentation.
Then, today, I tried their lunch menu. That’s a different story. The Mexicali cold cut wrap is very mediocre. Actually, “aggressively mediocre” is how I described it to my wife.
The unseasoned avocado dominates the sandwich that also had nothing but what appeared to be a mayo spread with the meat and greens. The fat on fat for dressings and vegetables decision left a sandwich that tasted simultaneously rich yet bland with a consistency that initially threw my stomach for a whirl.
For the side I chose a loaded baked potato salad that I could only describe as another interesting decision to use a simple mayo mix with no seasoning at all. If it wasn’t for the table provided salt and pepper, I wouldn’t have touched it beyond the first bite.
This restaurant has a bit of an identity crisis overall. You can get a buffalo chicken breakfast burrito with bold flavors and pair it with your choice of hot sauce, or you can get a Walmart deli level of flavor quality at lunch that had me wishing the hot sauce could carry it a little further.
Whatever they’re doing at breakfast they need to carry to lunch. Overall, the food can carry a certain kind of “hospital basement cafeteria” quality that doesn’t quite hit the mark.

Fabulous breakfast spot tucked away in an office building. Great bagels prepared right, and the waffle sandwich is bomb.

This cafe is in an office complex, most likely catering to local workers. But surprisingly, it had a great ambience and the food far surpassed our expectations. We loved our California breakfast burritos…they were so flavorful and satisfying! And they were very reasonably priced. The general manager even came from the kitchen to help me pick a hot sauce. Nice!!!

Great food! I came for the NY bagels, I was not disappointed. It’s my new spot while in the Morrisville/ Durham area.

First time eating here for my wife and I. I love how you can order digitally and just grab your food. The food was delicious. The Belgium waffle was amazing. The cold brew is self serve which I didn’t like but I could customize it how I wanted. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quaint breakfast/lunch spot.

Traveling from Pennsylvania, looking for some breakfast.. this place ROCKS!
I had a Greek omelet which I wish was twice as big, because it was so very good. Coffee was perfect.
Very nice atmosphere, clean, and the menu was very diverse. Lots of good food to choose from.
5 stars all the way!

This place is awesome, I can't believe it's not more popular. It's tucked away in an office building which is probably part of it but it's certainly a hidden gym. Great coffee and food, very affordable. Wonderful atmosphere
