“Fantastic food!!!! Don't miss out on this GEM! Incredible food at incredibly good prices. We had the harvest chicken salad on a croissant which was full of cranberries and pecans and topped with a fresh spring mix and ripe tomato. You get a choice of spice and I choose the cup of broccoli cheddar soup which was a very generous portion of cheesy, broccoli goodness. Very tasty. We also had the 6in Italian sandwich with potato salad which were both amazing. Really good potato salad with egg and topped with paprika. We splurged on the carrot cake and let's just say I'm really happy that we each decided to get our own slice. Hands down one of the top 3 carrot cakes I've ever had. The staff were attentive and friendly. Wish I lived closer. Id be here all the time! The menu is really diverse. I'd love to try it all!”
