Both were delicious but I think I may go with a lighter drink next time. The display cases also had plenty of to go options and bakery items that I will venture into next time. Ordering is straight forward. The wait is not long and I had my order within a few minutes. I chose to sit outside and the tables were tidy and clean. There is also the option of sitting inside with a few tables between the counters and cases of merchandise and food items. I will add this to my rotation when I need a little treat outside of bringing my lunch to work.

I walked by this place while I was in the area to grab a coffee. I ordered the banana date latte,…read morewhich was amazing -- a perfect blend of banana and dates that added a nice, healthy sweetness. I also got a croissant. The place has a seating area too. There's also a small vendor inside selling cool things like candles and other unique goodies. Definitely a must-try spot!

DELICIOUS.... EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!…read more First... I was incredibly stressed out running through the hotel trying to find a quiet place to get online for a meeting. I was an absolute mess dropping phones, my calendar, my mouse... just looking completely flabbergasted! I somewhat "fell" into Sugar Bliss asking if I could come in and sit for this meeting and the manager invited me in! My AirPods weren't working and my WiFi had disconnected... so she came over and asked if she could help. She was AMAZING, even offering to turn down the music so I could just use my laptop speakers. She was so helpful, but I ended up having to talk about a client, so I excused myself. After my meeting, I came back in and she was still there. I bought some delicious mini cupcakes and headed out the door, thanking them for the amazing service and being so helpful when I was a hot mess!

The space is very nicely decorated with few tables if you wish to dine in. They offer macaron, cupcakes, cookies/brownies and coffee/tea drinks in the store. I got the banana banana and the cinnamon carrot cupcakes and a dirty chai to go. I honestly did not have high hopes for the cupcakes as I have tried many that had rave reviews that end up being dry, too sweet or simply not worth the dollars and calories. I was pleasantly surprised! Both cupcakes were moist, spongey with good flavors. The best part is that the icing were just the right sweetness (also with a lighter consistency, not heavy at all) and a lovely balance for the cake portion. The dirty chai was just okay, I personally wouldn't order it again. However, I will return for more cupcakes!

I am trying Planta after almost a year. This place is 100% plant based. I had made a reservation…read moreonline thru Resy. We ordered the firecracker roll, gyoza, 1000 layer crispy gyoza and Dan Dan Noodles. My sister absolutely loved the firecracker roles. I honestly like the gyoza better. We absolutely loved our drinks-- mezcal may be, lych please, sake to me. Overall, I had a decent experience. Towards the end my server rushed us a little for the check which I did not appreciate, as I was style drinking and was not done with my food either. However, the server waited after I clearly told him that I would pay after I am done.

I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 because of service. The server we had wasn't the friendliest even when I asked about the menu and it seemed like we were bothering her when we needed something. They weren't that busy at 1pm.... Her answers were short related to the menu and we had to wait a bit to get the proper silverware to start eating our food. I'll probably do take out next time.

Of course I had to try both the turkey meatballs and the salmon, and both were a perfect 10 out of 10! So much food, All the vegetables looked so fresh and vibrant. From the sweet potatoes, tomatoes, whole roasted carrots down to the kale! Chefs kiss I don't think I'll ever visit CAVA again! Lol I highly recommend stopping by this place, you will not be disappointed!!! I see people complaining about the price in the reviews but this is basically the same price as a bowl at CAVA and you get a lot of food for one bowl. And Let's be honest, prices have gone up everywhere. Its's supply and demand!. Don't blame the restaurant... you know who to blame!

This place used to be a go-to for me, but it's declined significantly. Prices have gone up across…read morethe board, yet the quality and service have taken a noticeable hit, making it hard to justify coming back. The food is hit or miss at best, and often disappointing. I've had mac and cheese that was completely broken and greasy, and the meatballs are frequently cold in the center, which raises concerns about basic prep standards. For what they charge, the lack of consistency is frustrating. Service is just as problematic. Orders regularly take much longer than promised--it's not unusual to be told 15 minutes and end up waiting close to 50. That kind of delay defeats the purpose of a quick lunch spot, especially when it happens repeatedly. Accuracy is another issue. Missing items in orders seems to be a pattern, not an exception. And when something does go wrong, trying to get it fixed is a challenge. Getting a refund or even a simple resolution is far more difficult than it should be. Overall, the combination of high prices, long waits, inconsistent food, and poor follow-through has made this a place I can no longer rely on. I won't be returning.

Why is this most basic ask so difficult to deliver on?

The cookies are so incredible. Have to get a cookie with any sandwich…read more The sandwiches are good too, it's all of Boars Head's deli meat options and they've crafted some pretty clever sandwiches as well as some absolute classics. Appreciate that all the sandwiches come with a small side (pasta salad is the go-to). Warm sandwiches are the better option, more unique and more worthwhile. The line can get a bit long but I've found it moves pretty quickly and it's certainly worth the wait.

Perfect lunch spot in the loop…read more I finally made it to Boar's Head Cafe after walking by it countless times. It wasn't very crowded, so I walked right up to the counter. The young lady who greeted me was pleasant. The location is bright and felt very cozy. I ordered the chicken noodle soup and the chicken cobb salad. I didn't realize the salad was premade, but it was fresh and probably made fresh the same day. The chicken noodle soup was just okay. It was mostly broth with maybe a large spoonful of noodles and chicken. For $4.99, I wouldn't order it again. It felt like a bit of a rip-off, and it honestly wasn't very good. The salad was pretty good, though. I saved it for dinner, and the lettuce held up. I tossed the avocado because I don't eat avocados, but everything else was fresh and delicious. I had the balsamic vinaigrette dressing, which tasted like any vinaigrette dressing you'd find at the grocery store. The soup and salad was about fourteen dollars, which is typical for a non-fast food lunch in the loop these days. I was pleased with my lunch, so I'd give Boar's Head another chance.

We are NOT vegan and had no idea it was a vegan ice cream shop until after we ordered. It was delicious! The sizes are pretty big.
