"Tela's was my favorite place to get coffee and get some work done pre pandemic! Also loved their grab and gos. Things have changed since 2020. It's definitely a sit down and have a meal vibe and less grab and go options/sit and do your work. I randomly stopped in for lunch on a Friday and it was quite busy. I wish there were more options on their lunch menu but I got the Roasted Turkey Sandwich and a Chardonnay. Both were very refreshing. The side salad was drenched with olive oil which was a shame because the greens were really fresh. I did get a grilled chicken sandwich here before that was very dry with nothing extra really on the sandwich so I was hesitant to try a different one but the Turkey sandwich was moist, flavorful, and neat. You have to pick your own utensils out of a basket/they don't bring that to you when you receive your food. They also don't bring you/offer you water. Pros: Same great ambience and decor as pre pandemic. Great location with large windows. The addition of the bar is fantastic. You can purchase wine, cheeses, crackers, etc. There is a lot of seating inside and outside. You can pick your own seating.Cons: If I'm sitting down for a meal I would like to have some basic things like utensils and napkins brought to me/on the table and water offered. It's not a big deal but it was annoying to get my food and realize I didn't have what I needed to eat it. Also, I had to ask where to find those things so it's not obvious. The register is behind the bar so it's a little tight if the bar is full. Overall, of course I'll go back. Great place to go solo or meet up with friends. I did come here once for dinner and the service was different so if this experience doesn't reflect yours that may be why."
