| - ??? Did I drop by on a bad day? What is with the hype?? Maybe my taste buds just reject super healthy food so I'm not able to appreciate this place like I should? Either way, I hated it.
A friend & I stopped in here for lunch on a Friday just before the lunch rush. We ordered the moroccan chicken flatbread with the broccoli kale quinoa salad, a pork loin bowl, and a waffle. The flatbread probably tasted the best, but was a WTF level when it came to cutting it. Honestly it was the worst, either they need to hand out steak knives with the flatbreads or present options for it to be cut up into bite sized pieces. The flatbread comes with a side of salad in a little bowl which we appreciated until we took a few bites & just bleghed at the level of saltiness. Whoever made the salad that day literally seasoned the kale with so much salt I felt dehydrated after having a few bites. The pork bowl was quite boring and the squash was seasoned with a very sour vinegary taste.... whether or not it was on purpose we will never know. The bowl was mostly untouched... we both were just not feeling the bowl that day. The waffle was also disappointing because how can you fuck up a waffle? It wasn't fluffy, it was quite dense & the whip cream it came with had coconut in it... ehhh was neutral on the coconut.
We also purchased a pressed juice, and an iced tea. The iced tea is literally just maybe slight steeped tea with lemon so it tastes like lemon water. I'm usually a huge fan of pressed beet juices but it was just very bitter and though I did finish it, I only finished it because I convinced myself that it's good for me and I paid $7 for it.
Bad lunch aside, I did really enjoy the atmosphere of the little shop, and their decor is quite clean, modern, and cute. Little succulents placed here & there with wooden bench tables. Maybe better to just drop by and sip a coffee?
