Decided to try this place because the food looked good from Google. And the website looked like it was a nice cozy cafe.

4 of us came in for lunch, we were not greeted by anyone. The guy in the kitchen saw us but didn’t say anything. Then one of us had to go over and get his attention to ask if it’s ok to sit and ask how to order. We grabbed our own menu that was on the front table on our way to a table. When it was time to order, a girl comes back to punch in our order, it seemed like she didn’t know anything as she wasn’t familiar with the menu items and asked the chef constantly if they had x item (she must’ve been new). The weird part was that she would ask the guy questions and he would sometimes answer because he had his headphones in. In any case, ordering was a painful process. I understand it could be due to short staffing/ having new hires. But the general vibe that we felt that the chef was upset and did not want to help the girl out. And it was just awkward for all of us.

On a side note, I also noticed the menu pages were all over the place. They were not consistent between booklets.

The food looked good, but if you look closely, it’s a health hazard. The coleslaw is visually not fresh, you can see the cabbage is black. I didn’t touch the coleslaw… the fries were a bit salty (personal preference, doesn’t matter) and then the wings…

I was down to my last few wings and I had to suddenly spit the wing into my napkin. It tasted like mold. There’s nothing else out there that has that has the same distinctive taste as mold (if you’ve had moldy bread before). Never been to place where there was such a lack of concern over food safety. Will not come back again purely because they still serve ingredients that have literally gone bad. Disgusting.

I ordered off there Uber Eats profile “The Patty Shack” and it was disgusting.

the first picture is what I ordered. The Rise and Shine Melt, the second picture is what I received. greasy, soggy bread, with 2 store bought flat fake patties.

If you look up false advertising in the dictionary, you’ll find the meal I ordered from here

EDIT: I hope you do look into it, because this was highly disappointing.

EDIT2: 2 months later and i never heard back from Karen about “Looking into it” obviously not surprised

Very friendly, great food seems to all be made from scratch. Always fresh. Sometimes a little confusing at the cash for your order but stop always make up for it in customer service. Definitely recommend going My only recommendation would be for the price of coffee does not match the size or the quality but that is the only true improvement I truly can offer. Their patio is incredible The restaurant indoors is quite large very spacious providing lots of privacy if wanted from other customers with the ability to choose wherever you want to sit. Their million dollar dessert squares or bar is phenomenal.

Cozy location, wonderfully strong hot chocolate, friendly staff, and fantastic quality in-house baked gluten free bread that made my BLT taste amazing. Can’t recommend enough! Also a nice array of baked goods.

Absolutely delicious food at an affordable price.

I was able to study for an exam while eating a delicious BLT with housemade vegetarian bacon (made delectably seasoned, crispy rice paper); a bean taco, taking advantage of the Taco Tuesday deal; and a lovely egg sandwich with the aforementioned bacon.

The staff were incredibly friendly with phenomenal recommendations. I love this cafe, and will return!
