| - Good. The concept of this place is uplifting and the service is very accommodating and informative. They make almost EVERYTHING from scratch and in-house, in addition to sourcing local ingredients, but the product needs some culinary finesse to help the ingredients shine. The space is also really big and inviting. This trip, a smoothie and a sandwich was ordered. The smoothie was very good and every ingredient could be tasted. The sandwich revealed a couple kitchen mistakes. For the record, these guys are willing to pretty much make anything they have the ingredients for, as far as basic lunch sandwiches and salads go, so you're not limited to what's on the menu. I posted for one of their salads; a tuna salad made into a sandwich on house-made bread. The tuna salad is "made to-order," so that allowed me to omit celery, BONUS. The mixture was a bit watery though, which means the tuna was not drained enough. Nice, white, albacore tuna but the water took away from tasting it. The rest of the tuna salad included plump dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, onion, and mayo. Very good but lacked seasoning, maybe a bit of S&P? The only issue with making something like tuna salad "to order" is that it doesn't have a chance to absorb seasonings or bring out flavors like it would after sitting. The sandwich had beautiful micro greens and was on homemade bread but the bread was definitely over-baked. It was extremely dry and also lacked seasoning. While it was a pretty sandwich (see photo), it possessed watery tuna salad and dry bread. If they tweak those two mistakes, it would turn out really good. The prices are affordable here and I love the healthy options and fresh preparation concept. Definitely a return visit in store and lots more menu items to try out!
