They offer seasonal and special drinks on the menu, many great options to choose from. Barista is friendly. Tried Raw coconut latte - only available in cold, it was delicious.

If I'm in the area again, I would return and try other drinks.

It's your average lox bagel with tomato, capers, and red onions. The wait was about 10-15 minutes but there was a small line shortly after I ordered. Overall, I wouldn't come back if I were craving a lox bagel to this place because the total for 1 lox bagel came out to be $15 with tip, but it was convenient as this store is located near the highway.

I would like to updated my previous review. I went back here wanting to order another one of there amazing tri-tip sandwiches. They said they had no tri-tip so I ordered pulled pork. Then they tell me they had no pulled pork. I finally settled for a pastrami sandwich and was very disappointed. The pastrami was 90% fat and the service this time was mediocre at best. I have to say I will probably NEVER return. I uploaded pictures this time to bad the experience was so awful. read more
