    I love their baked fresh cookies and pasteries. You can get breakfast and lunch,soups and salads, hot or cold sandwiches. But No DECAF coffee!! Hot teas or regular coffee. I will stop in here after my doctor appointments. Before the Pandemic they had outdoor seating.

    Nice joint, what you'd expect from the chain. Food was good, as expected. Nice veggie options and lots of soups. Right across from swedish covenant hospital and lost of staff were stopping by, so that's a good endorsement in my humble opinion.

    Clean with a very polite and pleasant staff. Street parking can be difficult to find. I signed up for their emails and came in for the complementary coffee and travel cup. I poured out the coffee and kept the cup. Their pastries are delicious, but the coffee was awful. Very watered down and cold. Maybe some flavor creamers would help, but for now I don't reccomend the coffee.

    Soups, Sandwiches, Salads and Pastries? Mmm. Sold. This place has light, healthy eating. They have at least 6 soups a day available for their customers to choose from. They have a variety of sandwiches or wraps. Whether it's breakfast time or lunch time. Then close to closing time they put all their pastries that have not gone out for sale. Red Velvet cupcake is scrumptious. You can even call in your order ahead of time. Their Lemonade is also very good.

    This used to be one of my all-time favorite places to grab a quick bite. Not anymore, the quality of the food and the service have both decreased. What happened?! Also, make sure you get a receipt and know what you’re paying for. The free bread with every entree, is Scam.

    One of the better "midscale" (better than generic fast food but not a full blown restaurant) places I've been to. Plenty of choices in terms of stuff you can order and they probably have some of the best coffee I've had at a place like this.

    Very good food, great coffee. But can be noisy due to being in very close proximity of the hospital. But overall good place to go.

    We have been their customer for years. We love the pastries, soups, sandwiches (too long to list :) ). Ladies, who work there are nice and helpful. They are always really nice to our kids and always have something nice to say. Please keep up your good spirit guys and thank you for highlighting our days when we stop by.

    I've been here several times. I concur with the opinion of others about most of the workers here having attitude and obviously not wanting to be here, don't mind showing it. They are loud. Once, an employee moved between working and her son, about 7-8 years old. He was making a lot of noise, too. However, the food is the same quality as other locations.

👍👍 Worth the wait (5 min. In the early morning) for a memorable Starbucks experience. Staff members were incredibly polite and nice.
