"Cafe style restaurant with bakery and fresh ingredients you can taste. I hadn’t been here in a very long time so I had to refresh myself as to how things go. You order your food at the counter first either at a kiosk or with a service person. We opted to talk to someone since we were unfamiliar. The man at the counter was nice however, every time a pick up person walked in, he turned away to help them even while I was answering his questions. Then he would turn back and ask me again what did I say? There was another person at the counter to help but he just wanted to be I charge of everything I guess. Although it was annoying since it happened three separate times, it was nice because I wanted to know if they could make my tuna sandwich into a melt. Which they were able to toast it at least. We were given our drink cups to fill ourselves and a pager. The service guy gave us a free drink since he probably could tell I was a little annoyed by his lack of attention. We sat ourselves and waited for the buzzer. It was only 5 10 min wait and we found our food waiting at a counter. Nice and hot and eye pleasing! The tuna had arugula, tomato, red onions no cheese which is why it’s not a melt. Lol They ran out of bread that usually accompanies the soup to dip so they subbed kettle chips which was fine. The chicken tiki Marsala had so many wonderful flavors and spices. It was nice to have a contrast with the tuna and broccoli cheddar soup! They were both so very delicious and perfect for a rainy day as we planned to walk to the Showare center to watch the Thunderbirds game after. We didn’t know what to do with our dirty dishes so we sat a bit and watched other customers pick up their dishes and take them to a station where you throw away your unfinished items or trash and stack up the dishes. Easy peasy. It was a great place to grab something quick with a healthier vibe. Definitely worthy of another visit soon!"
