| - Great menu and pricepoint, good location, working on the execution and service. Located downtown and offering a quick, healthy, and inexpensive alternative to the usual options around Fremont.
Menu has a variety of baked (offsite) goods, sandwiches (on bagels and as paninis), and salads, as well as beverages (hot/cold coffee and tea, smoothies). Specials include a $3 coffee-and-croissant combo offered 7:30-10:30, and a few daily featured sandwiches for lunch for $7. It's easy to get out of here spending ~$10/person with multiple items.
Unfortunately the execution needs work. Their vanilla chai was hot with a good sweet-and-spicy balance, but the apricot croissant was mostly hollow with a minimal filling, which tasted overly sweet and artificial. Chicken caprese salad did not match menu description or my expectations, but was decently fresh and a good high protein, low carb lunch choice.
Service was polite, but seemed frazzled despite there only being a handful of customers. Manager/owner was prompt about addressing issues and making corrections, but there seemed to be some confusion with orders between the POS and the kitchen.
TIP: They offer an awesome $25 for $50 credit Yelp deal, but prices are so low here that you'll need a large group to spend that much in a single visit.
