OMG this place is delicious, cozy, fun, and just really special. The food is fresh and healthy, or indulgent if you want. It's a tiny local business where the service is personal, and it's becoming a community spot. I can't recommend it enough.I've started ordering the "Roll the Dice," where you list any ingredients that you want to avoid, and the owner surprises you with a custom entree. The suspense is half the fun, and so far it's always been wonderful.At lots of places, in order to get many vegetables, I have to order vegetarian. Here the carnivore menu items also have plenty of veggies (if you want them).It's a convenient stop during the Greenmarket and sometimes has live music.Outdoor seating. Clean bathroom. Free refills. Interesting lemonades, teas, and coffee drinks.(No, I'm not related to the owner, although I know it sounds like it. I'm just a huge fan. )

Terrible coffee (tasted like cloves) cup was chipped, dirty plates, toast was moist, and my everything bagel was not good (soggy). No salsa and the potato chips were soggy. Water was served in what appeared to be used paper cups. Bacon was missing or under cooked between two sandwiches. There was half an avocado pit in the avocado on one of our sandwiches. Zero Stars!

This is a fantastic restaurant in Schenectady. We eat here once a week. You can order "roll the dice", which is whatever she feels like cooking and she is very imaginative. Yum Yum

Stopped by here for a quick snack before a college tour. Amazing service, wonderful food, and even given extra to go. The lavender lemonade is to DIE for!!! Highly recommend.

Had the BEST Avocado Toast with egg sandwich. So fresh and yummy! Cute place with a nice look. Owner/Staff was super cool, too. Makes a nice stop after cruising the GreenMarket. They just opened I believe so definitely wishing them luck.

It was an okay experience. I think it is hard doing another sandwhichy spot when you have two pretty well known sandhwich eateries within the same distance and they are known for their own little quark. I had a smoked salmon sandwich which was good but I am not sure if I could go here during lunch on a work day right now. I think the restaurant is still in a groove and finding their way and that is cool. The vibe was okay and the food was okay, but there could definitely be a something more. I think take out is probably more the norm then sitting down here. I believe the owner is a one woman show right now so I definitely am taking that into consideration. Over all decently priced sandwiches . Maybe a good to go option during lunch time too if you are pressed for time.
