The reason I am giving this a 2 star rating has nothing to do with the food. I find everything I’ve had to be absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, the service is not. There has not been one time I’ve gone and things have gone smoothly. It should be a quick in and out process and there’s always something wrong- whether it be my order all together or rudeness from the staff when I disclose the problem. For instance, I ordered a smoothie in advance for the pick up time of 1130 assuming it would be made around that time, I could avoid waiting forever for a smoothie that should take no time at all, be in and out. When I arrived to pick up at 1130 the smoothie was frozen. I mean rock hard. The woman behind the counter was angry with me that I asked for a new one. Needless to say they made a new one but she was shaking her head the whole time. Very disappointing. Another time a little boy of one of the employees was at a countertop watching a show. I understand babysitting issues and her needing to bring him. No problem at all. But he then began to scream bloody murder for his mother. She did not address it until many minutes later. I had to go make sure he was ok along with other patrons. It only made it worse. She acknowledged nothing anyone did to try and help and continued on. Not sure I can continue to support...

I’ve been here three times and feel like I can now give this place an honest review.

First, the food is too expensive. Close to twenty dollars for a piece of toast with a ton of tomatoes on it, or $11 for a smoothie they have gotten wrong 2/3 times. The toast price wouldn’t be so bad if the portion sizes were decent, but they’re also very small!

Second, food service is terribly slow. If you’re lucky there’s two people working there. One running the register and one making food. So be prepared to wait 20 minutes for your piece of toast.

Third, customer service is poor. Two times in a row I ordered a smoothie and paid extra for some peanut butter. After fifteen plus minutes they got around to making it but not only was there no peanut butter, but all of the ingredients weren’t blended. They were just a big ball at the bottom of the smoothie. The first time I was in the restaurant so I complained and they made a new one, but the second time I had taken it home already. I reached out to them several times through email but never got a response.

It’s an interesting idea and I’d like to enjoy the place, but for what you get it needs to be 50% cheaper. They’re marketing toast and juice as something worth spending $60+ for a two person breakfast and it’s just...
