"Took a chance on this place for the first time- ordered the Avocado Chicken wrap. 100% impressed, soo good. Packaging was great, still hot when it got to me, good portion for the price. Will totally be ordering here again!"
"Protein Pack Smoothie arrived nearly half full, seems odd for a $10 smoothie to not fill the cup. Steak Sandwich ok but not worth it for the price. Felt comparable to a Starbucks sandwich. Wouldn't order from here again."

"So good I loved the granola they used it was the gluten free version so fire. The actual açaí was really enjoyable great taste definitely would get again. New favorite spot plus it's super healthy so that's a plus. Gonna also add that the presentation was really nice looked like they put effort which I appreciate."
"Very fresh, delicious and good portion. I thought when ordering it was a little overpriced but once I received I saw why. The large bowl is actually very large and I would go with a medium unless you're super hungry. The Power Panini is delicious and was well toasted. Would reccomend with roasted tomatoes. "

"Was very tasty and packaged very well! The Iced Pumpkin Latte with Vanilla Dream Top was great and not overly sweet. Only complaint was the Smoked Ham & Cheese Crispy stuck to the paper package and ripped some of the bread off the top, but that's honestly no one's fault. It traveled steaming inside of the package."

"The Chicken Breast Sandwich chicken was flat, overcooked, and greasy. Very rubbery and not worth $10, let alone $18.

"LOVE this place. Amazing Mac and cheese. I add pulled pork sometimes. Deviled eggs and wings are amazing. Can't wait to try to calamari."
"First time ordering from this place and I'm so happy I gave them a try. I really enjoyed my Rock Cod Sandwich with homemade chips and my Guinness Chocolate Cake. Everything was extremely fresh and you could see the attention to detail everywhere - including the fresh slaw on the sandwich, the housemade pickles, and the very fresh bread. Same with the dessert - as soon as I opened the package it was so obvious how fresh it was just from the appearance and aroma. Also I had to mention how extremely generous the portions are! At the time of this review (3/31/26) it feels like everyone is cutting portions and jacking prices everywhere, but this place did just the opposite - tons of chips with the sandwich, they didn't skimp on the fish serving itself, and the cake serving as HUGE. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to return once I finish my spring cleanse :)."

",Beef/Lamb Gyro Pita Combo . Good food. The fries were great! Crispy, not soggy, lots of garlic, onion, and just perfect. The pita had tons of meat in it."
"Ordered the beef/lamb gyro, it had barely any tzatziki sauce so it was very dry. The beef/lamb was small chopped up pieces of meat instead of long slices which added to the dryness. Also though they could have cut back on the amount of meat in the gyro. Asked for fries on the side and paid for the extra fries option, got a total of 11 fries!?!? (See photo!). This happened the last time I ordered the "extra fries option" as well, I called and complained and was promised a refund but never got it. It was only $1, but it is the principle of not getting what you ordered. At least this time I ordered a side of fries, used a previous order and didn't realize it had the extra charge for extra fries on the side, still think that should be more than 11 fries!"
