"Stopped in to pick up lunch and decided on soup and half a Turkey Apple sandwich on sourdough. The potato and ham soup was fantastic!! The turkey apple sandwich was very tasty but next time I will get it in a wrap as I wasn't a big fan of the bread. The atmosphere is nice and it feels cozy and welcoming. I'll be back."

"Both breakfast and lunch sandwiches are great. I frequent their green tea and hot coffee depending on the mood. They use Live Oak coffee beans which are full of flavor. Don’t skip the baked goods. They’re baked in house."
