    Lamb Kabob Sandwich
    Lucy M.

    I wanted stuffed grape leaves for lunch and found this place close by. I ended up having the stuffed grape leaves and a lamb kabob sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the meal came with dolmas as a side! The food was amazing. The grape leaves were nice and tender. The lamb was grilled to perfection and presented beautifully. It was the rice that stole my heart. It was as soft as a pillow! Not sticky with just enough chew to it so you knew you were eating rice. The service was on point as well.

    Beef kebab platter, kofta kebab? So good!

    5 stars for the food!! I couldn't get enough of the Baba Ganoush!! I would come back just for that alone! Really kind staff.

    Gyro

    I hate that they changed owners. This sandwich is not the gyro that is shaved but rather frozen and placed on a grill to be heated. It has 0 flavor. I'm very disappointed. If I could give it no stars I would do just that. I don't recommend it at all.

    Hala platter
    Kim D.

    I love finding little hole-in-the-wall restaurants and this is a good one! The inside decor is clean and well-kept. The menu is small, not overwhelming. We split the platter between 4 of us and we all loved it. The platter gives a nice variety of dishes to try. The platter comes with 3 appetizers, and we chose hummus, baba ganoush, and falafel. The falafel was some of the best I've ever had! Everything was deliciously seasoned and good. Service was a bit slow, but it appeared that there was only one person waiting tables that night, and he was very friendly. Definitely a great little find!

    Hummus
    Chandan K.

    The food lacked flavors and I mean basic salt in every dish that was served. We had to add salt to everything. They served bottled water without informing us that they charge for it which we found at the time of payment when we saw a charge of $6.76 for 4 small Sams club brand water bottles. They also charged us 3.99% customer service fee for a party of 4. I have never seen any Mediterranean place which does that. The fries that came with the wraps tasted bitter as if the oil in which they were fried was not changed for weeks. I would not visit this place again.

    Fattoush salad with chicken shawarma
    Darria C.

    I've been here twice and love their fattoush salad! I always add chicken shawarma for some extra protein. The lady who served me both times is so sweet and welcoming. I'll be back again.

    Falafel
    Rashmi S.

    I must say their hummus is really good. Food tastes fresh and made from scratch. It wasn't crowded for lunch time so I was surprised with slow service. Place is clean and nicely decorated.

It's the best airport coffee shop I've found so far. Yes the price may seem high, but for what you get (AND at an airport!?) this is a good deal. My go to is the coconut milk strawberry matcha. The matcha actually tastes like matcha, not the strange chalky stuff people use. The coconut milk option is fantastic for those of us who have sensitivities. I'm looking forward to trying the coffee options next time. Service is really quick, and ordering is super easy via the kiosk.

When I asked why, I was told for remodeling and because they are short staffed. Neither made sense. I believe I saw 3 or 4 employees and while there could have been remodeling behind the scenes, we watched them close up and saw the employees all leave. We had to go find another coffee shop, but it made me wonder, if I was the owner of this coffee shop I would want to verify they were not closing early just to go play. ***revized review*** Business reached out to explain they are making improvements and scheduling those is tricky. It would be great to update on Yelp, which is how we decided on this coffee shop (based on closing time). Coffee and offerings we had were very good. Atmosphere prior to the unexpected close was a good vibe.

This place is great, they're definitely a hit different that your other coffee places so the Black Sheep name isn't just that, which I appreciate!

My sister got a triple chocolate frappe and it was solid! I got the Spanish latte (half sweet) I heard it was sweet, but I would probably do the normal way with and extra shot and be happy! Anyway, they way were nice, happy to answer questions after we told them we had never been there before. We didn't try any pastries or the waffles that looked absolutely fantastic! So in a return visit, which I will be making I'll have to try them! Absolutely worth stopping by or even going out of your way to check out!! I promise you it's not like the others!

All my past visits to this location have been fine, but tonight was a little disappointing. First thing I noticed was all the barely filled gelato containers. I understand a few but there was enough to catch my attention and not in a good way. The products itself looked disheveled and unappealing. Tifa has always displayed high standards for their products in quality and quantity. Tonight I was sad to see that was lacking. Every time I make the drive here, we stock up and buy multiple quarts. Tonight's purchase displayed lack of training. Employee is sweet and very polite, but I think he could've used a little more training on how to fill these quarts. I'll let the picture do the talking. This was opened as soon as I got into my car. My quart felt much lighter than usual. So I had to put it to the test. Went home and transferred it into a used pint container I had and what do you know? I paid for a quart and got a pints worth.
