We live near this place and want to love it. But it feels like some things were not thought through. I hope these comments are taken in the spirit of wanting the business to thrive.

They are situated on a pedestrian path with dozens of people walking by at any moment… and they don’t offer lids for to-go coffee. And politely asking for one seemed like the first time they’d even thought of it.

You think, OK, maybe they’re cutting down on single-use items, but they exclusively use disposable plates, cups, forks, etc. even if you’re dining in. Which creates a lot of waste and feels very “cheap.”

Additionally they are closed on Sundays, yet leave their sandwich board out on that same path 24/7. I saw probably 5-6 people looking inside confused on a beautiful Sunday morning, obviously drawn in by the sign, only to find out they were closed. So many people take walks on the weekend… seems like such a missed opportunity for breakfast.

The ordering flow of the location is odd too. Not obvious where to stand, create a line, pick up the food, etc. Considerations like that really make a place feel easier to frequent.

I will say I have no complaints about the food or coffee, but neither stood out either.

Overall I think this place just needs to optimize for its location and do better with drawing in customers. Make it impressively cozy, dim, and warm in the winter. Bright and breezy in the summer. Make it a destination to walk to on the weekend. Hire a sign painter to make your branding eye catching and charming. Would love to see this place thrive in this community.
