WTF?!?! This is the saddest excuse for a cafe that I have ever experienced. We ate here tonight because of an Amazon Local voucher I convinced myself to buy...that and my never-ending optimism when it comes to patronizing local establishments. To begin with, when we pulled into the parking lot we actually wondered if the place was still in business judging by the uninviting outside appearance. Once inside we were greeted by the waitress, who promptly supplied us with menus and took our order. Thats pretty much where the positive part of our dining experience ended. Once the food was served it was all downhill... While my husbands sandwich was satisfactory, I had to personally walk my lukewarm crabcakes back to the kitchen and ask for it to be thoroughly cooked. The chef was very polite and cared enough to prepare and personally serve me a whole new dish. Unfortunately, even the second attempt smelled and tasted like it had been in the freezer far too long (not to mention that the main ingredient looked, smelled and tasted NOTHING like crabmeat) -- not the chefs fault by any means and certainly not the fault of the waitress. However... I do believe that when the owner is not on the premises, the onus falls on the hired help (assuming they are properly trained) to ensure that the customer is happy. Once our initial meal was served we never saw our waitress again. My husband had to go to the counter to pay the bill and no one seemed to notice or care that my meal sat on the table uneaten. I have no clue what keeps this place in business or what makes people want to come back, but I sure as hell know its NOT the crabcakes!!!

2/10 I ordered the chicken wings under the Burgers and More section of the menu. On the menu, it promises a side with the wings. When I ordered a side of pasta the cashier seemed dumbfounded and confused. I pointed out that the wings came with a side and the cashier says, "Oh sorry it shouldnt say that; it doesnt come with a side." Strike One. He said they only had ranch and no blue cheese dressing, then asked if I wanted carrots or celery and I ordered the celery. When I was served the meal, I received carrots and blue cheese with the wings. The server took it back to change the errors to what I ordered. The celery I got was not crisp and was easily flexible. Strike Two. After I ate the wings, I ordered a Melon Mania smoothie. I was sitting down and the man who was making the smoothie says he did not have any sort of melon and he already had put the other ingredients into the blender. He says I need to substitute the melon for other ingredients found in other smoothies. The man says, "We have mangoes and raspberries and orange juice..." and he mumbled the rest of the ingredients at a pace too quick to understand. I didnt want to create a problem so I just ordered the mango and raspberry. When I received the smoothie, it tasted like straight milk and cream. I didnt want to start another issue so I drank the whole thing. Strike Three. The only good thing was the karaoke with friends. I will not be returning for the food soon.

Very tacky restaurant, felt like maybe a Spanish vibe but I really didnt know what kind of food they serve healthy options for healthy people, smoothies with wheatgrass kale and fruity combinations on the menu board. They need to work on their Cuban sandwich. Other items were pretty good

Great place to stop in for a casual bite to eat or takeout. The staff are really friendly too. Be warned though, they do sometimes have live music. Drives me crazy since I like to have conversation over a meal, but Ive learned to work around it. Definitely recommended for lunch.

This place is wonderful The sandwiches and omelets are DELICIOUS and made to order! The coffees are equally as good. Every single person that works there is friendly and very cool. The music is usually jamming. This is an awesome place.

Check your orders because they are not paying attention!!!! I just ordered a sandwich and they didnt use the bread I asked for and not even toasted!!! The sandwich was dry and more bread than meal! Very disappointed :(

Best place to hang out at evening on weekends with indie music and great food. The place is always full so if you want a seat on weekend, you might want to get there a little early. The price is also reasonable.

Went there this past Sunday for Brunch on a whim and for the first time. Had an awesome breakfast burrito and a mimosa. The owner and staff were freindly, the atmosphere was fun and funky. Highly recomended.
