Delicious food and a very good coffee
This spot is super unique. They have just about anything you could want- wine/liquor, water and soft drinks galore, frozen meals, quick pre-made deli items, along with delicious coffee made to order and pizzas. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. I ordered a water and coffee which I sat and enjoyed for a minute. I will be back!
1st time. Got the Cuban w a tasty spicy mayo. Clean dining area, polite staff.
Love this spot the barista's are very friendly as well as thoughtful they have a great selection on IPA and I believe the only place that carries them downtown. The pizza is delicious price is reasonable as well. I feel like it's a ritual after work to travel downtown just for the great vibes and atmosphere.
I have been here twice, as research for our new property. I work as a new concierge at a brand new building in downtown, nearby. Both times I have entered, I have been “greeted” by either a male or a female who look absolutely miserable and possibly suicidal. There was no actual greeting just literally a stare from both individuals. I know that in their gen z mentalities they think that looking miserable is cool and trendy, but it’s not. So first off, you don’t get greeted by anybody, they stare at you as if you are an inconvenience for entering their store. Which is a common young people trait at the workplace, simply lackadaisical. I bought an eight dollar sandwich, which is crazy because people used to eat these little sandwiches when they had no money, now they’re charging almost $10 for one. This is OK, I’m paying for the convenience of the location. When you check out, they have the nerve to ask you for a tip before paying. Crazy. As you leave, nobody thanks you or says bye or anything, just an awkward interaction in which he and she acts like they hate me and themselves. As I leave, the middle school childlike emo vibe continues. As a concierge for a 300 unit building, I will encourage residents to go to another location for their quick items. I will also train the other Concierges, and discourage them from sending residents here. It’s sad, because it’s a nice little convenient spot, over priced, but nice. But I’d rather send our people to a nicer location with a welcoming vibe and we’ll also encourage grocery delivery simply to avoid places like this. If you are the owner or management, and you don’t believe me, simply look at your cameras. But since the staff act like this consistently, and more than one visit, it appears that nobody cares. A simple look at the camera which show consistent lackadaisical staff..
So happy I found this place. I visited 6 times in 4 days. The Pizza Bianca, homemade pop tarts, and strawberry frozen lemonade were amazing. Nice selection of drinks, snacks, and deli items. So convenient and love that they are open late!
Nice little grocery with decent assortment of essentials. Came in handy while I was staying in downtown on vacation.
Cool store for convenience products. There is also alcohol and hot sandwiches. Everything is fresh and the employees are very friendly. Has been up for a long time.
Great food. They have most of my favorite stuff. They even play black metal on the stereo this is heaven for me

Extremely overpriced convenience store items with rude girl demanding tips at check out for ringing up 2 items!
DO NOT SHOP HERE -
More than AIRPORT like pricing for downtown convenience store.
$30 for just a couple items that would normally cost less than $10 bucks!

Way over priced convivence store! If you ever thought airport prices were high for everyday items you will be shocked this place could charge even more!
Everyday small refrigerated drinks that would normally sell for $1.99 in a grocery store were marked between $6.99 and $9.99 - snack items were $7.99 and up this store was the worst value I have ever seen. I purchased 1 small drink and 1 small chocolate bar and the total came to $18.97! The payment screen even asked for a Tip! - When I declined the tip, the unfriendly surely girl threw my items in a bag with an attitude that said "never-come-back" - well, I will not be returning. Save yourself a lot of money and skip this rip-off!

The barista and server showed no hospitality, charging for a cup of water. The latte did not meet expectations. I wouldn't recommend this place

Went around 10pm on a weekday - ordered a white mocha iced latte and it was delicious! They also have lots of cute little Knick knacks and lots of good snacks you don’t easily come across
