| - Helen the owner gets an A+ for service. She is attentive and pleasant and just such a nice lady. Her baked goods are made by her from scratch every day and they are very good. I've not gotten "fancy" coffee drinks there, just the coffee of the day, which I'd rate as C+/B-. They also had just half and half at the "fixings bar", so if you wanted skim or another kind of milk in your coffee, my guess is you'd have to ask the barrista for it. Not a big deal, just a little unusual to have just one dairy choice.
I ordered a salad and I did get it right away but it looked kind of thrown together. The non-greens consisted of an assortment of these hand-torn, small "nubbins": chicken, avacado, and pepperjack cheese. With about a teaspoon of black beans, this constituted the salad, along with one pre-packaged Marzetti's salad dressing--kind of like what you'd get at the salad bar from a grocery store. It was good, the greens were fresh, but it was not a memorable salad.
My friend, who joined me after I ate, had a lemonade (which he said was excellent) and a frosted brownie (which is said was good, not great). While we chatted, the barrista gave me a complimentary refill on my coffee, which I appreciated.
While you won't get better service at a Lawrenceville coffeehouse/eatery, regretably, the food is not quite there.
