. We walked in and the first person we heard was a very loud female voice. We have not been to this restaurant and were looking at the menu. Instead of feeling welcomed, we felt rushed to place an order by her. Once we were ready, she took out her pink iPhone to answer a call. That's when a cashier came and was very helpful and pleasant but then came the manager saying that it was the cashiers fault that I waited and said I would get 10% off which made us feel uncomfortable because the cashier was nothing but nice and actually smiled not like the manager. I don't have complaints about the food and the drinks are very good but the manger is very unprofessional, rude, and a demeanor not appropriate for customer service and hospitality industry. read more

It saddens me to leave this review! This is my go to get a fast delicious breakfast spot. But lately it has been populating with some soliciting people that you can't enjoy your meal at peace! The store has a sign of "No solicitude " and yet see their own employees providing them with food, which is kind of them to do l, but they won't leave. They would continue to ask for food, and while politely you say no, they would just stand there and watch you eat, making it un enjoyable to eat. It will sadden me, because I won't come back until the management staff decides to do some thing about it to make it more enjoyable to dine in! read more
