Didn’t want to go out for lunch so w stopped by this little place. There’s daily specials and they also have sandwiches and wraps. I ordered In the club, it’s a club sandwich. It had a lot of protein in it and was rather large and came with a bag of chips. It had ham, chicken, bacon, etc. Delicious!...

Great affordable food. All the food I have gotten here are very comparable to other fine dining restaurants I have dined at. They have weekly specials which makes things even nicer if you are craving something off their regular menu. Great affordable cafe, highly recommend. You can also eat out...
