Knocked waited for a bit then walked to the drive thru to ask them to see if they can open the door or order from the drive thru without a car. Luckily a lady in a white car let me cut to ask. When I walked inside, I saw two people working. Busy. I suggested to them they should get an only drive thru open sign. So when lobby closed, new customers don't get confused. They said they keep the door lock because of creeps. I totally understand that. That's why I suggested the sign or tell the boss to look into moving the front door to the other side. I had to walk all around to find the front door too. Basically waste of time. Close lobby if you can't keep it open. Hire men or get better security.... Keep it drive thru only.....Best one!

Ordering from a microphone, with the menu right behind it, is very ergonomic, and one's drink is often ready by the time one drives to the window. This location has a small amount of indoor seating, and they can make sandwiches and the like, which admittedly I have not tried yet. I don't care for the prepackaged scones. Longer open hours than the Vista location.

Quick friendly service with a smile. Taste great and really helped me get my too early of a day going! Will be back again!

The pork nachos with their pickled onions and jalapeños were delicious too. The wedge salad and salad bowls are huge. This is the only place I'd order a salad because it looks and tastes amazing. Burgers and fries are fantastic. They have gluten free fries (however I think they're cooked in the same oil as the other fries, just double check) and they're fantastic!

I tried the bees knees which had honey, lavender, rosemary and simple syrup with a dash of black pepper. I did not see nor taste the black pepper but I was a huge fan of this drink. It wasn't overpowering in any of the flavors and the rosemary sprig made it look so cute. I got the breakfast potato hash with no tomatoes and it was a delicious and filling breakfast. The potatoes were so good my group wouldn't stop helping themselves to them. I added some hot sauce as it was in the dryer side but still really good. I also tried the matcha coconut scone. It had a pretty matcha green color but it was hard to taste the matcha or coconut and it was quite dry. Service was quick and friendly. The inside is really beautiful and we couldn't help but do a little photoshoot, so many fun backgrounds! Things to note: Restroom shared with other businesses close by businesses and metered street parking only.
