| - Friendly service. Lots of different seating options with spacious tables and free wifi, perfect for studying! Apparently they'll have gelato come summer time! The food is pretty mediocre and a little on the pricey side. I got the strawberry and chocolate cupcake which was good though a bit dry . The canned mango spritzer was nothing special and the chai latte was pretty good. My friends got soup and gave it thumbs up, but I don't think I would get the salads again... If this place added Whole Food's salad bar for the same price or cheaper than Whole Foods, I would give it 5 stars, easy. But I'm just dreaming...
What I really LOVE about this place for now, is the pop and coffee.
UNLIMITED refills FTW!
Update March 10th 2011: I've decided to give this place 4 stars instead of 3 because, let's be honest here, there MUST be a reason why I just keep coming back to this place! I've been here every single day of the week and so far it seems as though Sunday afternoons are the busiest, so stay away if you're planning to study at that time.
More things I've tried recently:
1) Cranberry Protein Pillow ($4.99): it tasted very healthy, but also heavy because it's jam packed with lots of different things (cranberry, white and rye flours, soy beans, oats, sunflower and flax seeds, cranberries and almonds)
2) Ciabatta Bun (68 cents?): if you need a small snack, this bread is perfect. It's nice and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, perfect! It tastes much better with real butter, not the packaged whipped butter...
3) Cream of Broccoli Soup ($4.59): I definitely finished it way too fast, burnt my tongue in the process... yummmy!
4) Butternut Squash Agnolotti ($9.99): This one is definitely my favorite dish here so far (fresh agnolotti stuffed with a butternut squash puree, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, in a creamy blush sauce topped with parmiggiano cheese and fresh parsley).
5) Roast Beef Melt ($8.99): The bread and the horseradish mayo are what made this sandwich so delicious. It was also super filling, bonus points!! (Roast Beef, fire dried tomatoes, caramelized onions, swiss cheese and horseradish mayo). Comes with a pickle and a side of your choice (apple, chips or macaroni salad).
6) The Canadian ($8.99): It was a little too sweet for my taste but those who love Honey Mustard will love it.
7) White Chocolate Pistachio Cookie: Tasted very homemade, but not chewy enough.
8) Bacon & Cheese Focaccia Bread: It was like a pizza with a super thick crust and no pizza sauce, but I really enjoyed the distinct taste of rosemary in the bread.
9) Carrot Cake: It was pretty pricey at over $6 a slice, but it was gigantic. The mysterious chunks of fruit and other things might find itself to be a bit repulsive to others but I kind of liked it because it gave each bite a little surprise... a good surprise!
10) Cheesecake: It was pretty pricey but the size was decent (it better have been!). It wasn't amazing, but it was still A-Ok! Note: It has a thicker texture than the Cheesecake Factory's cheesecakes which are normally really smooth, and obviously much tastier.
