The space is absolutely adorable--bright, clean, and full of charming touches like floral decor and cozy seating. You can tell they put real thought into creating a welcoming atmosphere.

There were plenty of fresh, flavorful options for both me and my kids, which made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Everything we ordered was delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients. The service was friendly, and everything--from the food to the presentation to the cleanliness of the space--was on point. This is a place I'd happily visit again and recommend to others.

Cool higher end culinary items for purchase and some other weird but welcome items like handmade soap! Good community posting board! Chill vibes and surly baristas that make you feel like you're in a bigger city! What I don't love: there are never signs telling what the baked items are, so you literally have to ask one by one at every visit- as does every single person in line. It makes me feel guilty for the people behind me and I often rush before fully exploring my options. This is made worse when I bring my small indecisive child, so I go elsewhere when I have him with me. Also- 90% of the time that I have asked, the attending barista isn't certain what the baked items are and says something like "I think that one is an apricot and cheese danish. Or cheese and some fruit. I'm not positive." At Crust's prices, I'd like to know what I'm buying and I would appreciate time to make a decision. Why won't you tell us what your yummy pastries are?? Lastly- the automatic tipping options are so high (this is coming from someone who never tips below 20%) that it makes me wonder if you're paying your employees appropriately, or expecting tips to make up the difference. If you were to change one thing and one thing only from this feedback, PLEASE consider labeling your baked goods! I truly cannot think of a good reason why not to.

Ziggy Bombs is a revelation for anyone looking for both quality and quantity in their meals. Their sandwiches are like culinary magic tricks because you essentially get two meals in one. The portions are incredibly generous, and you'll find yourself savoring every last bite, then realizing you have enough for a satisfying second round. The flavors are bold, and the ingredients are fresh, making every bite a mouthwatering experience. Ziggy Bombs has perfected the art of turning a sandwich into a culinary adventure, and for that ingenious feat alone, it undoubtedly deserves a 5-star rating. Don't miss the chance to enjoy the best of both worlds: incredible taste and value for your money! read more

The fries tasted stale to me, my bf liked them but it was a no for me. The slaw was also pretty good, but they put way too much on the sandwhich which left it kind of soggy. The number one reason why I won't be back is due to the fact that they charge .50 for sauce... while i completely understand business need to make money, we ordered $60 worth of food and tipped - they couldn't have spared ONE extra sauce? seriously? To make matters worse - We ordered two tenders on the side - come to find out the ONE sauce that "came with the tenders" was half full LOL. very odd to not give one extra sauce and not worry about the two quarters... such a turn off. service was fine. food is made fresh. lots of places to sit. overall not super impressed.
