Having located this great place recently, I keep on going back to try different items. It's never a…read moredisappointment. I had their chili about a week ago - It was deliciously meaty, and included an assortment of beans and chick peas in a sauce brimming with wonderful flavours! Today I treated myself to their beef barley soup and found it to be rich and satisfying. For dessert I had a slice of excellent carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting. So yummy! Sweet enough, but not cloying. And it's carrot cake - carrots are veggies! I felt quite virtuous while I scarfed it down.

We got the Turkey Focaccia, peach bbq pork buns and Mediterranean eggs. Everything we had tasted was super fresh and delicious. The soup of the day was tomato, and you could really tell it was made fresh and not from a can. Their bread and focaccia are also made in house, and the focaccia was soooo good super light, fluffy, and super flavorful. The staff was super quick and everything came out fairly quickly. Overall, everything tasted fresh and yummy, and I would definitely come back. I also want to try their coffee next time.

They were willing to switch the bread out on the sandwich for a focaccia, which came with no additional cost. Our glasses of water were always filled, and the server was friendly and checked up on us throughout our meal. On a weekday afternoon, the place was still relatively busy with diners, but it wasn't loud or crowded at all. The space is large and well decorated; they even have a shelf with ten different toasters on it as decor! I've been here before and I would definitely come back again. The sandwiches are always fantastic.
