Don’t let it’s small size fool you. This small cafe delivers big with a wide variety of fresh, delicious food. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I recommend the fresh baked peanut butter cookies and classic turkey sandwich!

Awesome food and people!

I used to love this place but in recent months the food quality has not been the same. I stopped getting food here because it's either not prepared as asked or ingredients changed. Example, I ask for sourdough toast with butter. The bread is never toasted anymore and just blob of butter on it. I'll see the girls at the register selecting toasted but it doesn't to the cook i guess. Their potato soup used to be thicker also. Last one I got was so watery and the potatoes were hard. I'm really sad because I used to love this place and it was so convenient, but wasting my money is not something I want to keep doing. The girls at the registrar are great though
