I absolutely love this places food. Everything is very fresh and perfect. What I am not comfortable with is how the men here talk to women. They're very short, rude and disrespectful to a lot of the waitresses and its really gross to watch. I watched the man at the front desk snap in a waitresses face and talk very rudely to her, when all it would've taken for him was to say excuse me.

Great food at super great pricing. Manager friendly with great service.

Fantastic!

The food was very good overall, the atmosphere was nice, and the experience was enjoyable. The server did a solid job, although some interactions felt a little odd at times. Overall, still a solid place and easily close to a 5-star experience. I would definitely recommend giving it a try, and I would return in the future.

The people here were wonderfully warm and kind but the food is just okay. I have celiac disease and there wasn't much I could have, so I ordered the chicken salad cold plate. The chicken salad didn't have much flavor (could use some ACV, salt, pepper and dried cranberries), but the fresh fruit was plentiful and fresh. It also included cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, and some sliced deli cheese sprinkled on top. The cheese on top was flavorless and unneccessary. The portion size was enormous, but I would have preferred a smaller serving size and more focus on flavor of the chicken salad and higher quality parmesan shavings than some sliced cheese.

COUNT YOUR CHANGE AT THE REGISTER. The girl shorted me 5 bucks and I didn't notice til I walked away and didn't have time for them to count the drawer. Shouldn't have people that can't do simple math working the register.

Great food and great ambiance. The prices are a bit high, but that's because the portions are very generous, so easily enough for two meals. The fresh orange juice was great. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: Their waffles and French toast are delicious! Try the waffle flight if you’re feeling like something sweet. They use fresh berries, which I love! And the variety is so fun. They have lots of jellies, butter, coffee creamers, and sugar options at the tables, which is nice. The staff is friendly & attentive, and the place always seems clean. I think there’s a lot of disabled parking, although that’s unclear? More on that in the cons. There are many vegetarian options, and portions are filling!

Needs Attention: Their avocado toast needs some workshopping. The avocado seems like the kind you get pre-smashed in cups at the grocery store; the texture doesn’t seem fresh, and they spread it very thinly over the toast, like butter. Then there’s a bunch of dry arugula piled on top, they don’t even hit it with a bit of olive oil or balsamic. It doesn’t come with any sides, but their grilled cheese comes with soup and fries while the cost is also less. Doesn’t really make sense to me. For the cost, I expected it to be great avo toast piled with freshly-smashed avocado. I didn’t get the grilled cheese because none of the three soups available were vegetarian, which was also disappointing. I’m surprised they don’t have a standing tomato soup option to go with the grilled cheese. They also need to clarify their disabled parking. The spots closest to the door should be reserved for the disabled rather than making them cross the lot. They should review ADA laws on where they should be located, as they may be in violation. There are two spots nearer the doors painted with faded disabled symbols, but without signs. Signs need to be posted if they are for the disabled; every time I’m there, people without placards are parked in those closest spots.
