This place is a hidden gem! The hot sandwiches are top-notch—always fresh, flavorful, and made to order. Their wraps are packed with fresh ingredients. I’m also a big fan of their salads. The staff is friendly, and the whole place has a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or sitting down, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!
Great staff very friendly, awesome historic location! Breakfast sandwiches were great! Highly reccomend the Denver and Florentine! Iced latte was perfect flavor! Highly recommend!
- I only tried the latte but it consisted of too much milk to be enjoyable - in my opinion of course - The employee helping me wasn’t exactly mean, but she wasn’t exactly friendly either - Not a lot of dessert options - Locating the business took a little while because the sign (pictured below) wasn’t facing correctly at first, but everything made sense once I found it - Overall, mediocre — hence the three star. - Will possibly visit again to try the food and then retry their latte as well
Intimate experience. Some of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. The hazelnut dream latte is incredible. Kind staff. They can be busy with mobile orders. Embrace the extra time and settle into a nice experience :)
