Joseph values taste. Joseph values ingredients. Joseph values quality. (Quit talking in third person, Joseph! My wife says this ALL the time 😅) Now how does "The Porch" shape up? Well you see, as for my three top values, they succeed in only one. Now before diving into this food critique... might I add that this is in a furniture store. A FURNITURE STORE! So before Joseph gets all critical on ya (😅)... bear in mind, people... the standard is low! So as a whole, I am thoroughly impressed. However! I ordered the Turkey sandwich of sorts. The wife got grilled cheese. The daughter got a ceaser salad. The wife is currently in an argument with me (one sided, might I stress 😐. Don't let her see this!!!), so she didn't let me have a bite of the grilled cheese. So we will ignore the fact that I cou

Surprisingly good—quite good, actually. The food they offer is mostly pre-made (including the sandwich shown), but for it being pre-made, it tastes pretty good. There was no strong taste of frozen after-taste or chemicals in the sandwich, which was again surprising. The cookie was good as well; it was also pre-made and sealed. There was a sizable line around 12:30 p.m.; it took 2–5 minutes from the back to ordering. The restaurant itself is like IKEA’s small sitting areas, not a full-sit-down restaurant. Overall, a great option if you’re shopping around Wayfair.

Visited on Grand Opening Day around 6pm-ish. Enjoyed their hot Tumeric Chai (subbed Almond Milk). Busy but not as busy as we heard it was earlier in the morning. Friendly staff and quick-ish service all-around. As you can see from the photos, not a whole lot of bakery items in the display case, likely because it was almost towards end of day. The milk/sugar/napkin area can use a bigger garbage/recycle bin - only a small, tabletop trash receptacle.

Food was good, and the place was well organized and clean.

The porch is a great addition to the Eden’s plaza. I work at one of the facilities in the same lot and my coworkers like it too! The iced coffee with Carmel sauce and flavoring was sour🥴👎 The chipotle chicken sandwich is chef’s kiss! I wish there was an option to add onion. The Mac &cheese is very good but, needs more noodles added to it! It is extremely cheesy which is awesome but, the container is so thin where you’re just eating cheese. For $10 we were expecting a filled container and there are barely any noodle's in it. My team at work has tried it to and we all feel the same about the mac&cheese. Other than that if they make a few changes it will be a great food experience!
