We sat outside in what they call the "garden room." The ambience and lighting were cozy and…read morepleasant, and it was comfortably warm despite the 30°F temperature. Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

The croissants were a crowd pleaser, the Caesar salad crisp & tasty, the fruit was so fresh, but the blueberry lemon almond cookies stole the show! If you need a caterer, drive out to their location & talk to the owner. They are very busy & can't always answer the phone. They're worth the trouble it will take.

Only 3 other reviews?!? People must be trying to keep 29 Cooks a secret! :)…read more You can order lunch for a group, catering to events, or order prepared meals for pickup on Tuesdays only. My experience is only with catered lunch in a corporate setting, and it is always hands down the best lunch I've ever had, every. single. time!!!!! How does she find fresh veggies year-round!? Incredible! There is so much care and thought put into this food. They must be very particular about their food suppliers. Any fresh ingredient is always perfectly fresh/ripe. The cherry tomatoes and really any veggies are always delicious, bursting with flavor (maybe they use organic which tends to have more flavor?). The salad dressings are all incredible. Apple Cider Vin, Citrus Vin.....o.m.g! The Power Up Salad will make you want to eat salads for every meal - seriously. Also, I was never a fan of pasta salads until I started being adventurous and trying the pasta salads from here. The Bruschetta Pasta Salad - OMG. Also, recently had the Bacon Parmesan Ranch Rigatoni salad.....wowza. Cupcakes, cookies, or other small desserts from here are to die for. I've used a lot of cliche "review" terms here.....trust me, they don't even begin to describe it!!! :)

So let's start by saying the majority of the 3 stars is because for me this dish was mostly…read moreinedible for me. I ordered the Korean Bbq Pork bowl. This traditionally comes with purple rice, napa cabbage, kimchi, cucumbers, spicy broccoli, carrots, spicy sprouts, fried egg, slow-roasted pork and Korean BBQ sauce. I struggle when a dish has too many spicy ingredients and specially kimchi is just too much for me to be able to handle. I requested the kimchi on the side so I could try the dish as it was meant to be tasted but without the commitment of having all that spice in my bowl. They did provide kimchi on the side but what I did not realize was that there was kimchi covering the rice under the other layers. The heat was just too much for me and I was unable to eat the majority of the dish. That being said, what I could eat was delicious. Grains cooked to perfection and tossed in the bbq sauce. Broccoli that was crunchy and had the slightest kick. And tender and juicy pulled pork. If you like the heat, this is a good one. And if you are like me and a bit more sensitive, keep a close eye on the dish as they make it. The place is your run of the mill chain restaurant, nothing fancy and very casual. Service is at the counter much like a chipotle or subway. The restaurant was generally clean with a few dirty tables. The highlight for me was the lemonade/drink bar. Fresh juices and lemonades with unexpected ingredients like cardamom and red beets. I will definitely be going back and giving this place a second chance in the future.

The price of the meal was very inexpensive too. Enjoyed our meal tremendously.

We are pho snobs and this spot blew us away!…read more We were craving viet food on our trip to the poconos and found this spot close to our hotel. We came here family of 4 on Sunday around 4:30. It was empty but filled by the time we left. The inside is bigger than expected with plenty of tables. Service is excellent. There was only 1 waitress and she got very busy as more ppl came in so I hope more staff joins her for prime dinner time. We ordered pho, bahn mi, and wings. The pho and banh mi were excellent. Very authentic. Pho broth is spot on. Flavorful but not heavily seasoned or sweet. Noodles were perfectly cooked. The only thing missing is tripe! The bahn mi had perfect amount of cold cut to pate ratio and the bread was the right amount of soft/chewy. The wings were tasty too, cooked perfectly and not dry which is rare for wings in an Asian restaurant if you know what I mean. Overall such a great spot. If you're in the area I highly recommend you check pho bowl out!

It's like grandma's house (grandma was in there teaching her granddaughter to clean up - so cute!). The day we went, they had little specials in each corner. They had a gardening educational table for those interested in it, and They might have partnered with another eatery that advertised mango with sticky rice and boba. **They also serve Mary Ann Donut Kitchen Fridays and Saturdays, so two yumminess in one! They don't have all the flavors though... We all ordered a latte, almond milk and oat milk. Not bad. My friend and I ordered from the children's menu (LOL) and got a biscuit with egg and cheese, whilst her husband ordered the 610. We shared the biscuit French toast.

The dish reminded me of a Vietnamese Fao meal and came loaded with an array of seafood: mussels, clams, lobster, shrimp, squid, octopus, fish, fishballs, and three types of mushrooms. I also asked for medium spicy and it was spot-on. The meal was absolutely delicious. We both took food home and it was amazing the next day.
