Todd G.October 15, 2014Interesting. It's a bit like a more airy Panera on the inside, and deceptively looks like a seen-better days mom n' pop on the outside. Try the butternut squash soup with cilantro and rosemary bread!
Justin LisenbyDecember 3, 2018The chocolate chunk cookies are amazing. Very nice place for a quick breakfast or lunch.
Snickerdoodle. It's all about the snickerdoodle. Breakfast of latte and snickerdoodle. Lunch of sandwich with snickerdoodle chaser. Or just by itself because, dammit, snickerdoodles are da bomb, yo.
The cinnamon & sugar pastry (what the folks there call a morning bun) is very delicious! The cinnamon bun isn't too bad either! :-) Add a egg/cheese/bacon sandwich and it is the perfect lunch!
Milestone Inc.August 3, 2011The online advance-order system works amazingly well. Great way to avoid the lunch rush lines!
When ordering from the iPad and it's time to choose your assigned pager, swipe the center screen and scroll down to access the higher numbered pagers ;)
Lately they’ve been playing classic rock every morning, so...make of that what you will.
Katerina VlachopoulosOctober 16, 2016The BLT here is so good I forgot to take a picture 😂 Try the pumpkin latte during fall.
Ellen McGrodyJune 1, 2015Turkey pesto! I've not been to any others in this chain, but this one is nice.
Electronic ordering by iPad ensures you get exactly what you want.
The Mediterranian is what it's about. And the semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies are totally worth an extra gym session.
3 times I've been here in 2 weeks on non-rush times and I'm waiting 12-15 minutes for 1 sandwich!? Losing interest coming here... Late or work
Peet's coffee is now served here. You can now order coffee only in the revamped coffee station.
Their pastrami sandwich is good, as well as the bread they give with a soup order
Naris VipatapatJanuary 3, 2014Make sure to sign into your account so you can get the baker's dozen discount.
Aya MiuraJanuary 13, 2013Order ahead. This place doesn't make your order quickly enough and I've just witnessed mistakes on their to go orders 2 in a row (wasn't mine) good thing front ladies check before wrapping the orders!
Peanut Butter & Stuff may seem childish, but it's awesome!!!
order online in advance to avoid the line at lunch. fresh bread, great brownies and snickerdoodles!
Jack ChanDecember 17, 2010Super easy to place order yourself with the checkout terminals right at the door.
Order online and in 15 mins, you can walk in and pick it up off the shelf!
Mix the House Blend with the Diablo for a superior cup of coffee.
