JustinApril 21, 2013They "won't make a quesadilla with just cheese." Sucks for us vegetarians who don't want chicken. Cute place, tho.
Divya MoolchandaniOctober 22, 2013My experience here was miserable. I was so annoyed that I was paying so much for bad food & bad service. I was genuinely happy to leave.
- Sunday mornings read your paper over coffee, then (in season) browse the farmers' market
Terry SallSeptember 29, 2012Very confusing ordering system, unnecessary. Average food, store-bought bagel. Paying for hipster atmosphere rather than food quality.- Get the delicious chicken pesto and mozzarella sandwich - possibly the best evar.

"The veg dish w/ tomatoes, butter lettuce, corn and chickpeas was incredibly flavorful: crisp lettuce with melt-in-your-mouth tomatoes and mild feta compliment the contrasting chickpea/corn textures."
