I can see how people like this place. It's cute, cozy and comfortable. It has free wifi and it's located in an ideal spot for the business lunchers. I was excited when I walked in because I'm totally a soup/salad/sandwich person. Even though there were about 10 soups on the menu, I was disappointed with the selection. And they only had one vegetarian soup--black bean. Everything else was chicken and beef based. I don't eat red meat, or pork. I don't mind chicken, but I'm really picky about it and it has to be whiter than white.
I ended up ordering a chicken salad sandwich on white and a cup of chicken noodle soup. The cashier couldn't hear anything I said for some reason and she kept asking me the same thing over and over again. What type of bread? White, please. What type of bread would you like? Um, white. Thanks. Type of bread for your sandwich? I don't get it. It wasn't that loud in there and I spoke clearly each time.
The chicken noodle soup was full of dark meat chicken, gross. I ate around and slurped up the broth and waited for my sandwich. It came, and was also full of dark meat chicken. Gross. The bread was soggy and wtf are those green things in my chicken salad? Grapes? Disgusting. I had to dissect the sandwich and scrape off all the gross shit and then reassemble it. I would have trashed the whole thing but I was starving.
The only reason I give this place 2 stars is because there's free wifi (but then again, I think that it's all throughout Tower City) and the guy that brought out my sandwich was really upbeat and always had a smile on his face, asking me a couple times if everything was alright and if he could get me anything--rare for a counter service type of place.
