So happy they are open again, food is even better than before. Good selection of salads, sandwiches and drinks here. The coffee is a special blend and they have an espresso machine too, so no need to go elsewhere! Don't miss trying the Chicken Pesto sandwich. They take credit cards and have a couple of tables inside too.
These guys rock!! The sandwiches are delicious and made with love. The coffee is actually good and not pretentiously overpriced. The people are amazing and so nice. 5 stars no question.
First off I can’t believe how on point my bagel with salmon was. It was loaded with salmon and the perfect balance of capers, red onion, cream cheese, and tomato. Staff is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ll be getting breakfast here again next time I’m in town.
My favorite spot in the Bay Area for brunch and coffee! owners are super nice, and go the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience every time you walk in to their shop. In addition to the beautiful location, prices are convenient. They also offer healthy choices such as gluten free bread, and use quality ingredients. Highly …
I’ve driven past this place 100s of times but never stopped. I was in the mood for a sandwich and this place popped into my head saw a finally decided to try it and I’m glad I did. They make a great turkey club sandwich and are nice people.
Deli offerings are excellent and ample, the welcome is genuine, and they have treats of chocolate and candy in a bowl to top off meal. At long last, a deli that when asked, makes tasty gluten-free bread sandwiches (two small ones in an order) and they sell little loaves of g-f banana bread. Best ever!
