There is one closer to me so I think I will be visiting there real soon. I got a toasty Big Chicken Shawarma wrap. It was stuffed full of fresh ingredients. Every single ingredient complimented the other I can't even describe it. It was a nice size and I ate it all. Absolutely delicious. I don't think I've had a toastier wrap ever. It was perfect. Pics included! A nice relaxed atmosphere with apparently several locations. I would encourage you to try one!

OH. MY. GOD. I am STILL thinking about this place to this day!!! Simone might actually have the…read moreBEST Greek and Mediterranean food I have ever had in my entire life. I am not even exaggerating. Everything was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! We ordered the mixed bowls with chicken and lamb, and every single bite was heavenly. But can we PLEASE talk about the roasted potatoes?!? OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. I genuinely don't know what they put in those potatoes, but I could eat an entire bucket of them and still want more. I wanted to come back a second time during our trip SO BADLY, but unfortunately, we ran out of time, and I'm still upset about it!! That's how you know a place is good when you're already planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Seriously, if you're debating whether to eat here, JUST GO. I would come back in a heartbeat. 1000/10, easily one of the best meals of my life!!!

The staff were professional, pleasant, and coffee/tea focused! My wife enjoyed a black tea chai latte and I loved the reserve pour over coffee experience! I order pour over pretty much every time it's available at a coffee shop. Jacob Alejandro's pour over service is pretty much ceremonial! They serve it on a tray. The tray has the "pitcher", a glass for service, and a glass of palate cleansing jade tea in the middle. (I did have to ask what the jade tea was) The palate cleanse was the perfect start. The Costa Rican coffee was heavenly, one of those drinking experiences where even my amateur palate was engaged. It was truly nice to sit for a while and enjoy a great cup of coffee at Jacob Alejandro! Yes, they would fit in a larger city but smaller cities deserve great coffee also!

The cashier explained everything they offer and gave me a printed menu to look over before my friend arrived. I couldn't believe how much seating they have. Tons of tables to choose from! When my friend arrived, we ordered the hummus appetizer and she got an iced latte while I decided on the strawberry matcha without added sweetener. For my meal, I got the grilled shrimp pita wrap and my friend got a build your own bowl, which she loaded with chicken and fresh vegetables. My wrap was great and had a nice flavorful sauce in it. I also love the variety of toppings they offer - there's truly something for everyone. The strawberry matcha was great too and I love how good it was without adding sweetener to the strawberry sauce. My friend really enjoyed her latte too. Overall, it was an awesome experience! I've driven by this place for a while and I'm so glad I finally stopped in. I've been missing out and if you haven't been there, I suggest you go ASAP!

I was excited to try their Mediterranean and Afghan cuisine based on so many good reviews that were posted. The place was cozy but clean and I was greeted immediately as I approached the counter area. It took a few minutes to look over their meal options and my questions were answered completely. I decided to dine in and ordered a strawberry refresher, a pistachio matcha and several soft drinks. Then, a badenjen (eggplant) appetizer that came with naan. A lamb kebab wrap, a Zafire (spicy) burger meal with fries, a chicken kebab bowl as well as a barg kebab (steak) bowl. I especially loved the choices I was given for toppings for the bowls. To name a few, there was hummus, baba ghanoush (eggplant tahini spread) various sauces, olives, cucumbers, pickled onions, beets and more. I was also able to ask for extra on the toppings that I really liked too. Everything that I had, tasted fresh and was made to order. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a tasty quality meal that's well balanced and healthy. I will be back again soon, as this is definitely a place that I would go to regularly.

My friend came another time and she has a vision problem and they refused to help her figure out what was in the menu. When I went in today, I sat at the counter and waited. There were three people congregated, talking. No one else at the register/ordering counter. Instead of greeting me, the guy waits several minutes at register waiting for them to approach him. Then he puts in their order and started clearing dishes off tables. Still no one has acknowledged my presence. Finally the chef turns around and I have my opening to ask for a menu, and he snaps at me"Go to the counter and look at the menu!" So rude! He then apologized for not seeing me but it was too little too late for me. I walked out immediately. I'm a grown ass woman. I'm not going to be barked at by some random dude on cocaine or whatever his problem is. Edit: hahaha! he immediately clapped back at my review. Very defensive. I worked in food service for YEARS and I never found it necessary to scold or argue with a customer.You might want to read Title III of the Americans with disabilities Act. It's a law that your menu has to be accessible to People with a vision impairments or you at least have to help them verbally know what u serve. You might want to ask yourself why you think it's okay to unleash your anger on women too. It's all women you try to humiliate, isn't it Brandon? If you're not careful one day a disabled woman you try to humiliate will file a discrimination report or ADA violation on you. Those are very very expensive Brandon. Maybe don't hate women so much?
