Also, when there is a long line of more than a few people, instead of taking one order at a time, its more efficient to take everyones order then start preparing them rather than doing it one by one

Stopped by for a quick lunch and tried the Turkey Pronto sandwich. It was fair — fresh ingredients, good bread, and a decent portion for the price. The café has a nice neighborhood atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of menu options for coffee and sandwiches. Good spot if you’re looking for a quick and simple lunch in the area. Would come back to try some of their other sandwiches and coffee drinks.

Placed a pick up order through DoorDash order and it was ready within 10 minutes, it was super fast and convenient to get in and out. Everything tasted fresh, and the prosciutto was quality! Recommend!

I actually live in Alabama but was able to order cookies from here with the help of the owner. She actually sent me an email with a link to order the cookies. I ordered 2 dozen cookies and she weighed them, and packaged them, and shipped them via UPS, and sent me the tracking number. My sister sends me a few of these cookies every year around Christmas and they are all delicious. Best cookies I’ve ever tasted. You should try them out, you won’t be disappointed!!

The food was not as good as I was expecting. In addition, the servers behind the counter were not aware of what allergens were in their food.

My sandwich had literally 2 thin slices of salami and cheese on the entire thing. I folded all the meat and cheese up onto one quarter of the bread so I could ear an actual mini-sandwich. My fiance had to do the same with her chicken sandwich.
