This is a stand in line cafe. There is no table service. The staff is friendly enough. I wished they cleaned the tables more often. The food however is consistently fresh tasty and well made. The cookies are delicious.

Great fresh food, helpful staff. The only downsides are that it can get really busy at lunchtime because of students from the high school, and if you sit outside, be aware that its a busy corner and can get quite noisy from the traffic. Otherwise its excellent. I love the Ahi Superfood Salad, ate every bite!
