"Lovely place for a relaxed dinner with a nicer ambiance. Enjoyed the caesar salad, arugula salad. I like the thick crust better than the thin crust. I wish the thin crust was more neopalitan style. The cocktail the bartender made for my friend was delicious (ginger, sweet, sour, balanced). The service was good. And for 6 of us the total was $215 before tip and 4/6 had alcohol drinks with their meal and 2 non alcohol beverages."

"Everything we ate was delicious! The stuffed falafel were a wonderful take on one of my favorite dishes. All the different salads and hummus were fantastic. We ended our meal with a delightful dessert that was impossible to resist.We also got to meet the owner and had a wonderful chat with her during our visit. The rest of the staff was equally charming."

"Coffee was good but breakfast sandos at this location are bad. The tiniest quarter slick of bacon on my Turkey Bacon Egg White Sandwich. Barely 1/4 my bun. Same with the Bacon Cheddar Brioche. Like some kind of bacon shortage of both pork and turkey varieties. So little you could barely taste it. Like if hint water had a bacon flavor. Also the buns were rubbery. The bread of the egg and Egg Cheese was hard like it was microwaved 3 times. Maybe because the dasher was so late they reheated it over and over? Very odd because it's not that bad at the Alameda location."

"10/10 The Laphet Thoke (tea leaf salad) is the best salad I?ve ever had. Got the eggplant shrimp and lamb Kebat, killer. Will return! Recommend coming during non busy times (we came Wednesday night). Expect a wait, but it?s worth it! Also, Chris rules (give them a raise plz)"

"Reliable good quality food, except the salad on the menu does not match the salad in my box and I frequently opt out of the green salad because its very soggy. All the other dishes are great and Im grateful "
