There’s a reason they’re always empty.. I drive by everyday around 8 am on my way to work, there is never a soul inside. My biggest red flag was that they were empty at 9:30 am on a Sunday but I decided against my better judgment to try it on a whim with my wife, I was under the impression it was still West Bean quality, I ordered the breakfast burrito and espresso over ice, espresso was sour and burnt and the final nail in the coffin was the tortilla wasn’t cooked, very white, no brown spots like it was on a pan, very over priced, and because they’re so slow the baristas are always just standing there.
