| - I'm going to base my rating on not just the food, but the experience as a whole. For the food... 5 stars. I came in for a quick bite between dropping off my son at preschool and a dr appt. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich. It was great. Nice crispy bacon, not the precooked stuff. The cholula I added to it made it even better.
My issue comes when I ordered my drink. I ordered an iced mocha... To which the person who took my order looked at me and replied "But you're pregnant!" Yes, yes I am. "And you're drinking caffeine?!?!" Again, yes, yes I am. I found myself defending my choice to consume caffeine while pregnant. This is my third child. I enjoy coffee in the mornings because I need the energy to survive my other 2 early birds. I told her I've always had happy, sleeping babies. But, it didn't stop there. I ordered a large iced mocha, which apparently comes with 3 shots of espresso. She asked if I wanted all 3 shots. I told her I wanted it however it is usually made. She replied "okay... If you say so." Had I requested a line of cocaine or an 8-ball, I could see someone giving me grief, but caffeine? Give me a break. I have one a day and I make it count by getting a large.
In a world where people are constantly giving unsolicited advice, please stick to what you are good at: food and drinks and stray from off handed, albeit well intended, advice.
