| - update: Added a star- went again and had a fruit crepe. Was good, but nothing to sing about. Still feel like the place is overpriced, but the service was friendly (although we did get the wrong sandwich again). Probably wont be back. There's way too many places in old town to settle for overpriced mediocrity.
Okay. Maybe I'll reconsider my two stars if I come back for crepes, but this review is based solely on a lackluster lunch experience.
A coworker and I decided to try this place today, and I'm seriously underwhelmed. Immediately upon walking in, the smell of the place made me want to turn around and walk out. I sucked it up and had a seat. It was disorienting having a waitress when the area is arranged deli style and there is a big "ORDER HERE" sign hanging above the glass case (think Subway).
My sandwich was okay, but nothing to rave about and it cost $10 with NO sides. My water was served in a tiny disposable plastic cup, and the menu was on xerox paper. If I'm paying ten bucks for a sandwich, give me some dang chips or a pickle... or a reusable drinking glass.
After leaving, I realized that the heinous odor of the shop had permeated my jacket, hair and clothes. I had to bathe in a friend's perfume back at work to get rid of the smell. Plus, I'm just now shaking really bad stomach cramps after eating there, so I ended up pitching the second half of my premium priced sandwich out of concern for it's integrity.
I know I wont be going back for lunch or sandwiches, but I'll possibly try again for crepes... but I'm not in a hurry.
