Love their macchiato here - rich and bold.
The breakfast food choices are also good --- if they have it in stock. About 30% of their food menu was out of stock - very disappointing, including my favorite calorie cholesterol shocker corned beef hash. I then ordered the pumpkin soup - while visually appealing, was bland and starchy; could barely taste the pumpkin. Sad.
The staff also seemed at a loss as to what was in stock, or ready to serve (some were "still frozen"). They need a bit more training.

I wasn’t even planning to dine in, but I think it’s still too early to turn customers away 30 minutes before closing. If it were 5–10 minutes before, that would be understandable — but 30 minutes is just too soon.
It’s a shame because I genuinely like Toby’s Estate in other branches, but this one really needs improvement in cleanliness, product quality, and...
