Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Caesar Wrap was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Solid spot. The Caesar Wrap 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.
Great salads & bowls option for the area. The Mediterranean 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.
Mixed feelings. The Quinoa Power Bowl 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 Mediterranean Bowl hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
