Diner notes
5 out of 5
I ordered the chicken soup and sandwich. It was reasonably priced and it’s the perfect weather now to sit outside on the patio. The tea options are really good and taste amazing. Place was clean and I enjoyed eating here. I recommend to others.

I work a block from here so I visit for lunch. I like the lunch variety but the breakfast not so much. The wait time for your food during lunch is not so long, you can get your drink and condiments and then your food should be ready. I've never had a dish I didn't like so far. The pineapple tea is really good and I love how they have the mix ins for your tea. i.e. mint, orange slices, lemon, etc.

Clean bright interior with quite a sophisticated fast food menu. Counter service only except at the bar for drinks. Food is prepared quickly for counter pickup. Great salads and soups, pastas and roast chicken. Many swear by the big juicy burgers as well. Comfortable for early evening dining as well as lunch.
