$3.89 for a bottled coca cola. I understand locally owned businesses charging slightly more, as I literally own a business here in downtown. $3.89 for one coke is greedy and you should know better.

Breakfast and lunch food that works in a pinch, but a little pricey and food quality isn’t the best. Chicken wraps are a little dry, breakfast burritos are soggy, salty, and not warm, and coffee is too watery and overheated/burnt.

After wanting to come here forever, I finally made it in this morning and became a firm believer in the miracle of this wondrous gem of a restaurant. I’ll only ever be able to enjoy breakfast here unless my work schedule changes. The vegetarian breakfast burrito, however, is large enough to tide me over way past lunch, chocked with all sorts of fresh things, seasoned just right and leaving nice, lingering flavors on my taste buds. My spouse’s Bagel Deluxe was not too shabby, either. They feature Peets Coffee (which somehow tastes better here than at an actual Peets!). The owner is super nice, hospitable and gives great service. Outdoor dining area, fully covered, is also a plus, though the entire space looks bright, cheery and inviting. I can hardly wait to return!

I just started going back after initially patronizing them when they opened. Turns out, the breakfast burritos are good and so is the breakfast bagel. They are kinda pricey and the service is slow. You would think that they would have a full staff during the morning rush. Not sure what the service is like during lunch, but I would be hesitant to go. The worker in the morning is really nice and accommodating.
