bill breakdown:
sandwhich & soup/salad of choice $10.45
ginger peach tea $1.80
lemon poppy seed muffin $1.99
2 slices of cranberry nut bread- complementary
you walk in to see rows of baked delights begging to be eaten, the price tags however can throw you off if you havent tried the products yourself to know they are worth it.
the cranberry bread wasnt bad but im not a nut lover and i dont especially like crunchy bread thats not because of the crust. the interesting butter did help add a flavor to it and overall was a nice little starter- i loved that it was free!
my eggplant sandwhich was good but the oil they used soaked even the bread through in some spots- while still beingdeliciousit was messy and i was a little embarrased to eat it in public so i took the other small half portion to go. the ginger peach tea was good but i messed it up by trying the sugar substitute sweetner leaving a nasty after taste in my mouth. i didnt enjoy the spring salad at all, i tasted none of the dressing and though it was all fresh and not iceburg i felt like a cow chewing grass. the upside to brighten my plate was the small fresh fruit they include, a thick slice of fresh orange, and a thin but decent slice of juicey watermelon. mmmmm!
the food was decent enough i enjoyed it but i dont think ill be going back to eat there, however the lemon poppy seed muffin is sublime and i look forward to a future visit to explore more options- preferrably fresh ones first thing in the morning!
