"Absolutely loved the sandwiches here! Pastries were also delicious!"
"The Turkey Boursin Spinach Sun-Dried Tomatoes on Multigrain Baguette lacked turkey meat and the Boursin spread. Felt like I was eating mainly bread. The bread was delicious and some of the best I've ever had but didn't order a sandwich to only taste the bread. My teeth were sore after eating the sandwich. Overall good taste but I wouldn't order it again."

"The lavender lemonade was too sweet I wish it had more lemon added but over all tasty!"
"The Chorizo Tacos tasted good but were tiny for only getting two for what they are charging. The Fresh Salsa was indeed fresh but lacked any kind of seasoning, they were super bland and weren't worth eating. The Chicken Supreme Quesadilla was the best thing in the order, but is was pretty much exactly what you would expect to get at any Americanized Mexican restaurant, nothing to write home about. A side queso container also leaked out entirely empty inside our takeout bag making a mess of the other food containers. Ordered takeout from here because they had some of the highest Google ratings in the immediate area. I feel bamboozled, would not order again, too many other options in the area."

"Overall everything was good, but the pizza was more like a flatbread and kinda light on ingredients. Needed a side of marinara for dipping. Speaking of marinara...instead of dropping the 3 squares of fried mozzarella on top of a dollop of it, consider putting the sauce in a separate container so the fried cheese doesn't get soggy. The carbonara was perfection! Thank you kitchen staff and whoever put the order together."

"The pizza was cold, greasy and the crust was a bit chewy but the sauce was good. It's still better than Grottos though. The carrot cake was very disappointing. It was supposed to be a 2 for 1 special for $ 7.99. I received one very small piece that came in a small wedge shaped container that they literally sliced the bottom of the piece to fit into. Something I have never seen before - ever. The cake itself was meh. I wouldn't order from here again."
