    Chicken Milano & Tomato Pesto soup is great. Expect the wait to be at least 5 - 7min but worth it. Update: I like their veg options too. In 2016 I switched to vegetarian & in 2019 to ethical vegan.

    Everything is baked from scratch, a fact few customers know. It's a totally green business too. Love the remodel.

    Some vegetarian options, especially the tomato pesto soup... Literally makes me want to melt. So good. A bit expensive for lunch but worth every penny.

    Believe the hype about the tomato basil soup. Split it with 1/2 Cuban sandwich.

    Comparable to Panera in price and quality. Plenty of healthy options.

    Build-your-own salads can mount in cost but offer a healthy customized option. Other menu items are standard but well made and fresh

    Resembles Panera Bread, but is better in every way imaginable. Great lunch spot, plus wifi after 2pm for work/studying.

    The ordering system is stupid. If you need 3 signs to tell people where the line forms your organizational system is inherently flawed.
