I visited on a Monday with my husband for a little birthday date, and let me just say... this place is TINY! We were able to park nearby in a paid parking lot, so parking wasn't an issue. But once we walked inside, we immediately realized seating was VERY limited. It's definitely giving "grab it and go" more than "sit down and enjoy."
It took us about 15 minutes just to place our order at the counter. Thankfully, while we were standing around waiting, a table opened up, so we grabbed it!
For drinks, I ordered the Banana Pudding Latte, which they normally don't offer during the week, but they had some extra available. My husband got the Peach Tea. Both were okay--nothing that had us planning our next visit around the drinks.
For food, I ordered the Classic Egg Drop Sandwich, and my husband went with the French Toast Egg Sandwich. We were given a buzzer for the food, so we sat back and waited.
Now... this is where things got interesting.
The drinks came out in about 10 minutes and were called by our names, so I'm assuming the buzzer was specifically for the food. The sandwiches are made to order and cooked right in front of you, which I actually liked. I thought, "Okay, at least these are going to be HOT and fresh."
Well... surprise!
We watched sandwich after sandwich come out and just sit there. At one point, there were at least FOUR sandwiches waiting while several employees were busy making drinks. We kept looking at each other like, "Are they going to come get these sandwiches?"
Our buzzer finally went off after about 25-30 minutes. By that point, our sandwiches had apparently been enjoying a nice little rest on the counter for at least 10 minutes.
The good news? Both sandwiches were actually flavorful and good. The bad news? They were lukewarm. And that was frustrating because they were literally made fresh, so there was no reason for them to be served that way.
There definitely seemed to be a disconnect between the cook and the staff. The food was ready, but the focus appeared to be on getting the drinks out while the sandwiches waited patiently for their moment.
I want to say we spent around $60, and honestly, that felt like a lot for what we received.
Overall, I think there's potential here because the food itself had good flavor. But between the VERY limited seating, the long wait, the communication issues with getting food out, and the price, I'm not sure this one is calling my name for a round two.
Cute spot for a quick grab-and-go, but for a birthday date? I'll probably pass on the sequel. read more
