Ordered online for pickup. Was told order was confirmed and given a pick up time. I got there 5 mins after pick up time and there was nothing on shelf. Was greeted by staff and i said i was waiting for an online order. After about 5 mins they asked what the name was for the order and she went back and I could hear my name repeated. She returned to say since my order was over $50 it was considered catering and it didn't show up on their screen and they were barely going to start on it. After a few minutes I said I'd be right back so I could go across the street to pick up another online order for my husband. The gal there said it would be another 10 mins and if they closed before I got back it would be up to me if I was locked out without my food!! I was speechless. I wouldn't take 15 or even 10 mins to go across the street for a pickup and I told her it wasn't my fault they didn't "see" my order and if I did take longer, couldn't they just open the door to hand it to me esp since I already had paid!!! She then said, ok..yeah I can take it to the door. 5 mins later when I returned, the food was ready and we checked it just in case and of course a soup was missing. We knocked at door and they went to get it only to return to say it's that they had run out of it. So I guess they thought we'd get home and find it missing but then i couldn't call them and that would be that. A simple, were out of this soup and given another option would have been the correct...

I heard nothing but good things about this place but have never been till yesterday... So I decided to bring my wife and kids for are first time... The minute we walked in we where greeted which was a sign of good customer service..... But right when my kids walked up to the glass were all the pastries and cookies, bread there was flies flying around all over on them..it was really nasty! And there staff didn't even do anything... But say sorry about the flies, and waves her hand around..... But what made it more nasty!!... She didn't even bother to take anything down from the shelf that the Flies were on...just left it there for the next person to buy... and the manger came out... And didn't even say or do anything, but walking back and forth.... It made me sick! Never again , my family and I won't be...
