I have coming to this place for years and years now. Sandwiches and snacks are great and coffee is reliably good. Staff is friendly and service is reasonably quick.

Family owned cafe, that serves a good selection of freshly made smoothies, sandwiches and salads. The personnel are very friendly and make effort to accommodate you food preferences. The price is very reasonable compared to Subway or Starbucks. Highly recommended.

Always a favorite spot to get a coffee and a sandwich to sit in the lawn and read! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Worth the wait of the line is long!

Cash only for purchases under $5 FYI, but the prices are reasonable and the service is decently fast. Be aware that the lines can get really long during the times between classes. I've only ever gotten the coffee but I've heard the sandwiches are good. The ladies that run this place are really friendly!
