They have a really great lunch menu with some awesome desserts. A friend and I went here during lunch one work day. It kind of took a long time to actually get our food, but it was worth it. The atmosphere (at least during lunch on a workday) was bustling and a bit noisy, so if you like quiet places... More

I went here for lunch, and I got a toasted sandwich with tomatoes, mozzarella and pesto. It was delicious! The pasta salad that came with it was great too. It is like panera bread but WAAAAAYYYY better. I wish I was staying longer so I could try more of what they have to offer.

I have discovered this bakery/eatery with thanks to my daughter who goes to school in the area. Wonderful treats for those of us who can no longer eat Gluten. Almond horns and extra large macaroons, plain and raspberry filled with chocolate stripes. Yummy and delicious!! and very reasonable!

Located in upscale shopping plaza. Convenient parking. Love the bread varieties (sliced to order) and pastries. Also nice for a sit down salad or sandwich.

A good alternative to local fast food restaurants. Sandwiches and salads are made to order, great bread and bakery items. Good variety of beverages. A good place to pick up a tray of cookies as a treat for office or other, too. GREAT soups!

I truly enjoyed the Jamaican sweet potato chowder--creamy, delicious, and comforting on a cold February day. The bread is fresh and delicious. I did not enjoy waiting nearly 25 minutes for my sandwich as others who came after me were served. My companion's salad was huge and flavorful.

There are too many salad choices to complain about lack of diversity in the menu. There are pannini choices as well. And don't forget the sinful bakery products.
