I unfortunately have to write a review to warn all possible patrons of color that we are not welcomed here. I work at the law firm in the opposite building and was in disbelief with how disrespectful an Asian man was who literally kicked me out after trying to buy a gatorade and some gum. He told me they were closed and wasn’t giving me eye contact and when I asked him why others were in there he literally told me to give him the gatorade back and told me to leave. These people came in after me and were allowed to make their purchases. He literally locked the door when I went outside with aggression lol My only regret was I didn’t record it but I’m surprised that I didn’t react as any human would this day and age to des domination. I must say it’s never a bad idea to push the pen and inform the world of places like this because maybe I can prevent others from this experience and not support a place that has employees upholding a hateful standard in these establishments.

UPDATE: The owner responded to me after this review and apologized for the negative experience I had, and clarified his position. I feel that a little courtesy goes a long way, and I appreciate the owner taking the time to respond, so I have edited my review accordingly.

Cute and convenient location, a good selection of to-go snacks and an excellent selection of hot paninis and sandwiches. The cook was friendly and courteous. However, some major issues. Rude cashier/manager. Tasteless coffee.

Detailed pros and cons:
PROS:
1) Cute spot, plenty of sitting room.
2) Clean.
3) Lots of choices of to-go snacks, including a lot of protein bars that are more or less keto-friendly.
4) Friendly barista.

CONS:
1) Their cappuccino was completely tasteless. Just awful coffee. 2) The prices on the menu don't include service charges. It said $3.71 for cappuccino, but I ended up paying close to $5. The coffee was tasteless and awful, and not worth any of this money.
3) You could see that they are overstocked with bread for their sandwiches. They don't seem to be getting that many visitors, so I would be concerned about the ingredients being stale.

Called in for a sandwich.. extraordinary. The choice was mind blowing and did not disappoint when it came out. I had the chicken BLT. So tasty would recommend xx

Environment was good, however the food could use some help.

Very chill environment. All the employees are very cheerful but they don't make you uncomfortable. Delicious food and very big selection of sandwiches, drinks, teas and snacks. Low lights and nice music is an added plus. We will definitely be coming back.

Ordered two Croissant Sandwiches that were priced at $4.77 however there is an extra charge for purchasing a Croissant. I indicated they should indicate that with a star or parenthesis and not a small indication at the bottom with other extras. Buying a Croissant is not an extra. Just at another line item or place a star. The sandwiches were great. The manager refunded me the difference, but didn't want to listen to my suggestion. I gave 4 Stars because I like Cafe's and the food was good. Customer service can be improved.
