    I am in bo way shape or form a health food junkie or aficionado, but this place may change my mind! A great sandwich, delicious juice and fast service never made eating healthy so tasty, delicious or affordable! Will come back and leave with a full stomach and no guilt on my conscious.

    We really enjoyed our meal here. I ordered tomato soup and the vegan smoothie, my husband had orange walnut salad. I felt the portions were reasonable. We were surprised and happy to learn that kids meals are free, so my son got pb&j sandwich, fruit, and almond milk. It was nice to find a place that offered him almond milk rather than just cow milk or sugary juice. He enjoyed it too. The atmosphere was very fresh and clean. They even had live orchid flowers on the table. I guess the only downside for us was they closed promptly at 7 and we met a friend there that was stuck in traffic and couldn't arrive until almost 6:30, so our meal felt a little rushed. We tried to go out to talk in the parking lot but couldn't stay there either due to an alarm system. So it might not be a good place for you to go for dinner to meet friends unless you go earlier or have takeout. Aside from the early closing time, I definitely recommend this place and hope to visit again!

    The chicken panini sandwich with pesto was delicious. A small little part of the chicken felt a bit uncooked, but the majority of everything else was good. I really enjoyed it besides that small part being uncooked. Next time, I ll ask if they cook the chicken a little more. The brownie was delicious. Drinks are delicious. I would come back again.

    Great food at a great price. I got the walnuts pesto sandwich with vegan chicken and it tasted fresh and flavorful. The fruit was really good too and a great way to start the day. Iced mocha was okay. Comfortable space with lots of seating. Fast free wifi provided.

    My yummy pesto, red peppers, avocado, turkey on sourdough panini with a spinach salad was a lovely healthy change from the usual fast food. I will go back soon and I highly recommend this for your healthy eating pleasure. Very reasonable and worth it at $10. 9/8/22 Who puts walnuts in their sandwich? It IS SUPER GOOD! This is the Walnut Pesto Panini, it has sour dough bread, basil pesto, walnuts, sweet pickled onions, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and agave mustard vinaigrette. Only $10.20. I'll keep you posted :)

    Not sure how much parking is available cause I walked over. There is a big lot nearby though. It’s super cute inside and still has their iconic beautiful green chairs!! Pricing is outstanding!! $10 something for a sandwich and it includes a side (fruit, salad, or chips)!! Kids eat for free!! Amazing!!! I ordered a pesto tri tip sandwich and it was delicious!! I chose sweet maui onion chips to compliment my meal. They also have a lot of different teas and lemonades! Their jackfruit tea was pretty good and super unique! Employees were friendly and use a microphone to announce your order if you are deaf like me and can’t hear them un-miked. He he he

    Been here twice, I love the walnut pesto sandwich. Their iced teas and lemonades are delicious too!

  • 2/5 Jessica 9 months ago on Google
    This is one of those places that has a hip ambiance to lure people in, but the food is meh. It’s great to take pics for social media but the food leaves much to be desired. I got the chicken pesto panini w a garden salad. The panini was barely grilled so bread wasn’t crispy and cheese wasn’t very melty. Which are pretty much the only two things I ask for in a panini. They boxed the hot panini with my cold salad. I had planned on biking home and eating at home but had to stop and eat the salad really quick bc otherwise the heat from my sandwich would steam the salad :P Also the salad was pretty sad, it was just a pile of spinach (not even chopped or anything) w some carrots chunks on top accompanied by a vinaigrette that was ok. I guess leaves and carrot is technically a salad. Don’t be fooled by the Claire’s-esque ambiance, the food is not great. Service was good though. Restaurant seemed very clean, at least.

    I love the color schemes and decorations. The sandwich I got was so delicious it was insane. We also got the Greek salad and that was amazing too. Kids eat free with a meal I believe. <3 I would def come back here and recommend it to others!

    Came here for the first time. I had the Italian sandwich. It was delicious! The bread was soft and the meat had flavor. I can’t wait to try the other sandwiches and salads.

  • 4/5 Dan H. 10 months ago on Google
    Lots of good options for vegetarians and vegans. Friendly staff who double checked which cheese we wanted after ordering the vegan chicken on a satisfying Pesto Sandwich. I sampled some of the teas and lemonades, all of which I will consider getting next time I go, though the smoothies also looked good. We walked there from the park a couple blocks to the north, so the light food was very refreshing in the summer warmth.

    Awesome and healthy smoothie! But one of the men that work there, (manager? Owner?) Rudley came up to me and my girlfriend and claimed we weren’t customers there when we hadn’t even sat down yet. Staff there is really nice except that one employee really left a bad first impression of the restaurant and we likely won’t return because of that. It really is a shame because the smoothie was great!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth R. 1 year ago on Google
    A great local fave of mine. And, indeed, everything there is rather healthy. Great sized sandwiches under $10, incredible salads, under $10. Coffee with mint leaves is my hero. Keeps me wide awake during by busy work days!
