In traditional grocery stores, 97% of the products are genetically modified or filled with chemicals or preservatives.

I started a new job in Sparta, and as I drove by I saw there was a Salad house next door to the new…read morejob! I was very excited to try it, So I did today. I ordered the Cobb salad, online ordering was super easy but they also have an app. I usually wait until I taste the food to download the app. The add ons are not expensive and neither are the premium substitutions. I love edamame and only $0.75?! Niceeeeeee. The store is located in a beautiful complex called the North Village. Very nice little shopping center. The store was not busy when I arrived so parking was available right out front. My order was right there available ready for me to take it. I got home and the presentation is beautiful looks so fresh. They definitely give you enough dressing for non excessive people. I am very pleased with the taste of the grilled chicken and the dressing because lettuce you can't really mess up( well normally) I totally recommend to give it a try!!! Enjoy!!!

This was a very pleasant experience. My top-tier chum and I stopped by this past Sunday afternoon…read morefor a little pick-me-up and a palate cleanser after a mediocre lunch down the street. I was a little startled when I walked in; it almost felt like a warehouse or something - there is a TON of empty, unutilized space in Pennyrose and despite music playing in the background, it's almost too quiet. There's a few upholstered pink chairs throughout the establishment, but mostly it's just square footage to roam around in. Not much of a ding if at all, but they definitely could use a little more furniture in here to make it more comfortable. Easy problem to fix - just hit up a few estate sales and you're golden. My chum (this is what chums are for) noticed that they had rose flavoring, which is my absolute favorite; why lavender is getting so much traction in the floral genre is beyond me. I ordered a rose latte with skim, and it was very tasty. The barista told me because it was a hot latte that it had to be a size large (not clear why) but perfectly fine by me on a nippy, overcast November afternoon straight out of Folklore. Perfect amount of rose without being overwhelming and really hit the spot. I also grabbed an intriguing looking blueberry lemon iced scone. Also really good though one corner of the scone had too many blueberries so I avoided that, but that's a total palate preference on my end. Would absolutely gnaw on that again. The service was excellent. Beyond receiving pretty much a dictionary definition perfect latte, the barista just let us hang out by the front window for a few hours people watching. Coffee houses SHOULD be communal spaces to just chill out in for a while, so if it had been an issue that's end game for me, but we both felt very welcomed and easily could have lingered for a while more but SOMEone (cough cough chum cough cough) needed to buy soy candles in Lafayette or something. So it goes. Just a little more interior decorating, and I think you really have something here.

I was excited to try a new coffee place but this was not up to my standards…read more The initial vibe is cute with some couches and comfy chairs but it feels empty and without character. The French Toast latte was yummy even though they ran out of whipped cream. The carrot cake scone was pretty good, but they are refrigerated, so maybe ask for it to be heated up a bit to take the chill out. Hubby said the cappuccino was ok. I think what troubled me was the employee's indifference to our being there. We wiped down our own table because they all needed a cleaning. Then they said they needed to replace the napkins, they did but couldn't be bothered with bring us a couple. They were carrying in stock items and my husband held the door for them but they were like don't worry about it. We can just push the door ourselves.

It's brightly lit inside thanks to the tall windows, and I find the food here picture perfect…read more Like at many Paneras, I get a clear sense that the employees would rather be somewhere else. The back of house staff, handing off food at the plane, gives off this feeling the most. In contrast, the front of house manager actually goes through the motions of asking each table how things taste. I find the outdoor seating to be a nice touch. I do wish the food temps were more uniform. My strawberry poppyseed salad today was cold, as though it had only come out of a refrigerator an hour ago. My cream of chicken and wild rice soup was too hot. I'm not sure where else in Newton you can reliably get this quality level this rapidly, though, so for now it's in the regular rotation.
