Solid spot. The Mediterranean Bowl is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Quinoa Power Bowl and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Caesar Wrap stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Mixed feelings. The Buffalo Chicken Salad was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Buffalo Chicken Salad hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Great salads & bowls option for the area. The Harvest Bowl was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
