| - I didn't like this place at all, sorry to say. I went there with my business partner the other day. My partner asked if she could taste the salad dressing, you know, get a small sample before she ordered the salad. We were told NO, they are under strict orders from the owner not to give out samples because of Health Department regulations. Really? Is this a joke? Why can I get samples of anything at Chipotle, or almost any other food establishment?
My partner also asked if they have gluten-free options. Guess what their GF options are? Yup... order any sandwich and they will give it to you without the bread. Do they wrap the hamburger in lettuce? Nope, they give you a patty on a plate with mixed greens piled on top like a salad. When I asked why they don't offer GF bread, I was told the chef doesn't feel there are any good GF breads. That's complete nonsense. Jules Bakery in Arcadia offers many GF bread options and they are all delicious. And hey, since this is a "bakery" (it says so on the sign), why not put together your own killer GF bread options? Perhaps that's being too innovative.
I do not recommend this place. It is not professionally run, they don't value customer service, and their bakery selections are unimpressive - all they have are multicolored macaroons. They should name it Essence Cafe and Macaroonery.
Oh and guess what else? They don't have wi-fi. That should have been my first indication that this place was not for me.
