| - I really like this place. It's a nice way to break up the old Paradise Bakery menu with plenty of fresh offerings in the soup/salad/sandwich menu. The combos are a way better deal than paradise...soup/sammie you get a full sammie, not a half. I tried the spinach artichoke turkey sandwich.. really good with a yummy creamy dip like sauce on it. The paninis are a little flat after being pressed and although it seems like you get enough meat on your sandwich, I do kind of wish the meat was placed more dainty (folded or something) and not stacked like bologna. A few other cool things...you get a free chocolate dipped strawberry with your meal, large dessert offerings (million dollar cookie bar was WAY too sugary), and there are italian soda syrups for you to add to your coke products with suggested recipes like "rootbeer float".
The main thing I would change about this place is the staff. They're all really nice, but there is always something weird. While I like it when people open the door and greet me, I don't like it when they immediately try to sell me on the "soup of the month" or whatever. Like I haven't even been in the store for ten seconds and I'm being hard-sold on my lunch. I have also had like 3 different people try to serve me when I wasn't ready. It's nice that they're eager, but after I worked in retail, that is one of the first things they teach you...know who has been greeted. Also, I know this is really mean sounding, but there used to be a girl with an intensely screechy voice who greeted me at the counter and would then screechishly scream out my sandwich order to her minions. I actually feared walking in to her taking my order the next few times (which last time was different, thankfully). A few kinks to work out and this place would be a 5-star of a lunch getup.
