“I was on the hunt for a light lunch and stumbled upon Ain’t She Sweet—so glad I did! You can tell it’s a local favorite because the door was constantly swinging with folks coming in and out, which is always a good sign. The cashier gave me a great recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is cozy and welcoming—perfect for grabbing a classic sandwich, wrap, soup, or smoothie. I didn’t get a shake this time, but I saw so many people walking out with one, I’ll definitely be back to try it. Highly recommend! And as always, it feels good supporting a Black-owned gem in the community.”
“I forgot to tell y'all about my experience. When I got there, it was 2 people in line before me. By the time I ordered the line progressed to about 10. It can get a little tight because its a somewhat small place. However the wait time was not what I expected. I got my food and dined in. To my amazement, the staff got the rest of the customers in and out. I ordered "The Steve" in a spinach wrap w/ chips and a Wild Rice-Chicken soup. The soup was only ok, it wasn't worth the price I paid. It was watery and bland. Because I dined in, and wasnt home yet, I ask them to exchange the soup for the Tomato Basil and they did. I don't think the lady liked the idea of me switching it out, however, it was really delicious. Next I tried my sandwich and it was good but not as good as when I got home. It was like the sandwich was so homemade it was too fresh, like it had to marinate and sit for a minute. I was really satisfied because the sandwich may not seem like a lot but I was able to eat it the whole day. So good. I usually try the jerk wrap but that day I wanted something different. I liked the fact that the food was light. I didn't feel sluggish and sleepy after eating. They serve ice cream and smoothies as well. My food was worth every penny. Very clean environment too.”
“First time there was a success! I enjoyed every bit of my grilled chicken cheddar sandwich.”
“PORTION SIZE & PRICES ⚠️ THE PIC BELOW THE PART ON THE RIGHT ALL THE MEAT IS RIGHT THERE AND BEHIND IS JUST THE WRAP NOTHING ELSE JUST AIR This use to be my favorite place I’ve been at least 6 times this past five months and I alway get the jerk wrap and ever since they have this new guy making them the portion size is small on one side of the wrap EVERY TIME I mentioned this to them everytime and they say the portions are the same or they’ll make sure it’s done right and it’s not I don’t see the guy that use to make them all the time but this new guy they need to get him up out of there or put him somewhere else The prices of the food is not the same nor did they make people aware of price increase because the pieces in the wall is not the same as what I’m being charged and I get the same thing every time but I will not longer go here unfortunately I’m not getting my money worth”
“I've tried this place twice and was disappointed both times. My recent order, the fiesta salad, looked terrible. I asked for extra eggs, onions, and cucumbers, but was charged an extra $5 for a small amount. The chicken was supposed to be crispy, but it was grilled instead. I want to support black-owned businesses, but this feels like a rip-off.”
“WARNING ..Check your receipt they are over charging you for your food. The menu say one thing and you receipt say another. AND NO I paid cash for my food so no credit card fee.The food portion is NOT worth the price . A chicken Caesar salad was $12 and on my receipt they charged me $12.44 so just think about it if they over charge EVERY SINGLE customer , the jerk salmon was $13 and my receipt said $13.50 a cup of soup was $6 and once again on my receipt it was $6.74 . Never Again”
“They usually have good food and good portions, but today when I went I ordered 2 jerk salmon wraps and a smoothie. The smoothie was good but I did not opened the food until I got home and the wrap was so little with barely any meat so I called them and spoke with a nice lady named Veronica who told me to bring it back. When I got there it was big dark skinned guy that was making wraps and he said “what she say was wrong?” So I said there is barely any meat, so he says “all of them made like that” I asked him to just look at the wrap and see. He takes the wrap and unravels its like a big kid and says it’s the same. I asked for my money back and he says “yeah give her her money back” with an attitude! Sir how u gonna get mad because y’all shorting on the meat now! I informed the lady at the register he is very rude and he should not be working there. Anyway here’s my salmon wrap compared to the photos and videos others have posted. I took a bite and tasted nothing but lettuce lol I will never be back.”
