Comedy night is my favorite. Love their parmesan fries! They were a little slow bringing out the orders due to be short staffed but they did the best they could do. They have great smoothies too! Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible ramp

I waited 20mins for plain oatmeal and butter croissant. A guy came in after I ordered and got his smoothie before I got my oatmeal that Had to add more hot water to. Paid $5 for a plain croissant cuz you can only order it as a croissant w/ cream cheese.

Good food but if you can’t reserve a table through OpenTable, please take it down, it’s very misleading and frustrating.

So I’ll start this off by saying I have been here a couple times mostly for take out, smoothies, bagels etc. It’s ok but kinda high prices for the quality. Staff haven’t been the nicest but I can get over that. I came here to complain because I use the laundry mat in the same parking lot and every Tuesday they have some sort of event where drunk people come here in droves…IN THEIR CARS. The amount of times I’ve watched my own car or other cars get dinged, scratched or literally hit by drunk people coming here is astounding. It’s a small parking lot as it is and they take up every spot in the evenings despite there being street parking on the road right next to the place. Seems like they’re encouraging people to drive drunk to or from their restaurant.

I'll note the one negative up front - their service gets slow if it's packed because late nights appear to only have two people on staff. I don't mind that, though, because the food is an excellent accompaniment to some of the best live blues music I've ever heard, Dave Good (and many friends)'s tribute concert-shaped outpouring of love for Robert Cowan. It's a cozy place you genuinely want to be in and are reluctant to leave.

What a disappointment. I popped to check out the place after taking my cats to the vet because of a BOGO coupon I had on a paid coupon site. I ordered a latte and cake, and the staff had no idea how to use it. They asked me to wait. 10min later, no one had helped. An alternative staff member came and made my coffee. Another 15-20min passes, and I start to worry about my cats, so I pop out to check. Orginal staff woman runs out to tell me to pay, as if I hadn't been trying to pay for half an hour. We get inside, and she rings me up again, then tries to refuse the coupon because I hit "redeem now" IN FRONT OF HER , and it showed redeemed, along with the date. The woman accuses me of trying to run out on the bill when I went to check on the cats and tried to charge me full price again. What a racket. They have no idea where their own products come from (I asked the source of the baked goods), no idea how to redeem their own promotions, and NO idea how to treat people.

This place is a real mixed bag. The food and coffee is great, though expensive. The number one problem though is their hours are EXTREMELY inconsistent, closing early, not being open at all, etc. Not a reliable option in the slightest. There doesn't seem to be communication about when they will or won't be open, and I've even seen them ignore people knocking on the door instead of just explaining that they're closed. While service is with a smile, you can often be waiting for unreasonable amounts of time at the counter before they even notice you standing there, due to inattentiveness. Ambiance is nice, except when the place has been inexplicably taken over by some super loud band, transforming the environment into something radically different than what's typical or expected. In short, I *want* to like this place, but I can't bring myself to recommend it.

I’ve gone twice to this establishment within a few days. Both online orders. The first day, I got a veggie panini, a club panini, and an order garlic fries. When I walked in, the hostess was eating fries off an order and approached me..talking with food in her mouth. I brush it off because the location was serving an event towards POC. The environment was nice to enjoy even though I arrived at my orders pick up time. The paninis were good. The garlic fries were old and didn’t taste good at all. A few days later, I was able to place an order and given an ETA despite the establishment being closed. Instead of calling me when they opened to rectify, I reached out to them and they refunded the money. No customer service or calling to see if I even wanted the order anymore. The coupon they gave me wasn’t even good after I had used it on the refunded order. Incredibly disappointing and such a waste of time/gas.
