My order was not on time for pick up. I was able to see the employee making it and had my iced coffee sit and melt while she had finished every thing else for another online order. I understand orders take time but there was no communication. This was my first time ordering a yogurt parfait and I saw her grab a premade one from the fridge, it tasted very sour and I didn’t even finish my bite. My iced coffee had no flavor that I could taste. I was very disappointed.

Great place for peace and quick service with a consistently good product for your hunger. They dont miss! And their service is wonderful!

Where's the sandwich fixings!?? Only one bite had peppers in it half of my sandwich had no meat! No tomatoes or arugula which is what the description annotated. And I was given a small drink for my drink club!

I have not had issues before but during todays visit, this is the lettuce that was on my sandwich. After finishing what I could I spoke with manager on duty, Amber, just wanted her aware of the lettuce. She smiled, said she would speak with them. I walk away with the plate of lettuce. I can see how the conversation went. "It was a little brown, not bad." Advice from one manager to another, show them! Overall my son and I's meal did not taste well, and was not worth $32.

The food was delicious, however, the clerk had trouble ringing up the coupon, so we used another code.. ( later found out it was app only) but, lunch for 2 WITH the $5 off was still over $37... that's too high for us when it's basically self serve .. I picked up beverages and another trip to get sandwiches.. I didn't feel like I needed to leave a tip ... my husband was still hungry ( 🫤) We had the soup and 1/2 sandwich each with a coffee latte.
