Pretty good breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Drip coffee is so so. Espresso bar pretty decent and barista good.

Went twice this week for the same salad...I let the cashier know the first time I didn't get onions in my salad..ordered the same today and the same thing happened..Lucky I checked my salad before leaving...the lady that put my onions in basically threw the onions in the bowl...I'd like to get treated like everyone else!!!!

Very good food and coffee. Employees are always pleasant and respectful. U may have to wait for food, but it's because it's always busy. But the wait is worth it.

They have really gone downhill. Portions keep getting smaller and prices going way up. I spent $10 on this sandwich, and the banana for scale wasn't included.

I don’t know if it was sanitary issues or the ingredients used but I ordered a chai charger and ended up with horrible food poisoning. Not to mention the drink wasn’t made the way I asked either but I was in a rush to go to class so I had to deal with it. Definitely not getting a drink from here again.

I really loved eating my breakfast there and beginning my day with a positive vibe! They always had some music playing which is amazing. The food has been excellent. The staffs are very welcoming. It felt like they were very happy to serve you no matter what you ordered (be it sandwich or coffee or scrambled bowl in my case).I hope to go there as much I can.

Very good sandwiches. Staff was very helpful. Great for a quick lunch. Not as fast as fast food, but MUCH better quality. We had the Cuban and the Full Monte.

Food and coffee quality are highly variable. Numerous times I have had to have my coffee remade (to little improvement). The website is also janky at times.
Food was good, but place is understaffed. Took 30 minutes to get my lunch...and it was just a bowl of soup and a sandwich. Soup was not very hot once I finally got it. I felt sorry for the overworked cook. They need to get more help. People need time to eat the food they go there to eat during their lunch hour.

Great place to grab a coffee headed in to work. They have good lunch options, too.
Best bagels in town!!
Good food.
Horrible food. Girl who makes sandwiches touch her mouth and nose with hand. Yak!I will never go there again
I only stop here because I work in the building. But the food and service has gone so far downhill since 2020 that I leave without ordering about 3 out of 4 times I stop in. I've been coming here since 2013 and I'm very disappointed in this. My food orders are constantly incorrect, sides are forgotten (chips, cookies, pastry items), and half the time they call numbers but forget to hand me my slip and the other half they call names. They've extended their hours a bit, but they only serve "express" items which isn't helpful when I've had to skip lunch because of a long lab experiment that day. Also, skip the app for ordering - it doesn't have the full menu and is lacking a way to select which side item you want. You're better off just stopping at the vending machines in the alcove right behind here if you want to know what you're getting.
