Unfortunate- this place has great food option but today I drove 15 mins out of my way today during open hours and it was closed. No sign no nothing. Hours clearly posted for Wednesday as open.

Place looked like it was made more from scratch, but the grilled cheese is nothing special; it used regular bread you get from the store, cheese was just cheddar, no mixes. The soup, while made for sure from scratch, tasted more like a crushed can of tomato’s like Mariana sauce, more than anything, and was sour; it could use heavy cream. I got no drinks. For two regular grilled cheeses and two 12-ounce bowls of tomato soup. It was 43 dollars. Insane rip off.
In response to the owner, I think 32 is an interesting number since when I check your own menu online, it lists one grilled cheese as $11 each, and one 12-ounce soup as $9. I stated that we ordered 2 of each. 11x2=22 + 9x2 = 18, 22 + 18 = is 40.Not sure how you crunched the numbers, and I can't imagine they would be lower than listed online, since usually most places don't update, and it's higher. I will put the photos down below.
Where I will correct myself and apologize is that I looked at the photo and we got 16 oz., which is 10 dollars. You don't deserve to have prices at your business misrepresented. However, the total cost is 43, with the 1$ included for a tip for two grilled cheeses and two 16 oz soups, with a mac salad, but a bag of small lace chips. Is that still reasonable? You can have all you can eat Korean BBQ for that price for two people. The bread, to me at least, still tasted pretty identical to the Fred Myers brand, though I believe you.
You also mention how you have 11 other cheeses, yet you conveniently left out how those sandwiches with other cheeses do not have simply those cheeses, but other ingredients like meat, veggies, and so forth that make it cost more. I was pointing out that your grilled cheese itself is quite simple, not the other sandwiches you call a grilled cheese.
I also wrote this review not on the day I bought the item; I wouldn't purposely lie online and not reach out.
While I understand your frustration of wanting feedback in the moment in order to fix the issue, going to be completely honest here, when we came up to the window, you were quite aloof and ignored us for a while, instead of at least saying just a moment. When we ordered, you had to have us repeat, and seemed in a daze, which I can get happen; it gave us the impression that if we were to complain, you wouldn't really care.
My review was simply that, a review, where I feel you overcharge and make well over a profit for subpar food. I do not believe you would have added other cheeses or heavy cream at the moment, due to cost. So I was entitled to my opinion. What I don't appreciate is the misrepresentation of cost or assuming my review was on the same day to make it look like I have it out for small business.

This cart is truly a hidden gem food! The service is truly incredible. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. This small cart boosts lots of flavor and options for everyone. Theres a covered patio and seating. Dog friendly if your dog is friendly! Support small women owned businesses.

High prices and lame crepes. My bf didn't even touch his spinach chicken one bc it was so doused in balsamic and not the kind of fresh made, real crepe he's used to at the amazing crepe place in bethany. They put this joint to shame. Every place in this cart park has been disappointing so far and we tossed it.
Great variety of food, all of which has been delicious, and the prices are excellent. Vegan options, gluten free options, dairy free options, and meat options. Something for everyone. On top of that, the owner is incredibly nice. We will continue to eat here :)

Vegan mac n cheese is the best - excellent menu options
Ordered for lunch today and their vegan mac and cheese with tofu and avocado was chef's kiss! Super creamy and delicious. The vegan garden salad was terrific as well. Thanks for making my day brighter with nourishing, plant-based gumminess! Will order from again for sure. 💖🥦

I love this place!! The food is so good and fresh and cooked from scratch to order. The menu is so varied. I've had several of the soups -- oh, the homemade soups!! -- and they've all been great. I've also been pleased with: grilled ham & cheese, salad, mac & cheese, bbq pork sliders. I need to try the crepes some time, they look scrumptious. I live in the neighborhood and walk down here at least once a week (weather permitting). It's my lunchtime fave.

Food truck. I didn't review this food truck when I ate here a couple of days ago. I'm back because the Vex Mex crepe was so delicious. The truck is closed on Tuesday and I am soooo disappointed! So here you go… find that truck.. Get a crepe!
