I had a feeling as soon as I got my bag that this would be fire, and it was 😌 On a day when I needed the comforts of homemade soup I’m glad I stopped by here! I got the shrimp corn chowder and a turkey and cheddar cheese panini. The chowder was hot and flavorful and the sandwich was fresh and nicely toasted. They have a pretty big menu that I’m eager to try more of. I didn’t look thoroughly but did notice veggie panini with the option of vegan cheese that sounds amazing. Pretty quick and friendly service during the lunch hour. Will definitely be back soon!

ordered food from here on the most recent coldest day of the year! (1/23/26) and this lovely spot was open when all other businesses were closed! have to say the food here is so so so good!! decent prices, not too expensive and the amount of food you get is enough to fill you up! I ordered the turkey wrap and it was so delicious, the woman that runs the store is so lovely and nice, please make sure to bring cash tip as you’re not able to tip on your card, but this place is great! I highly recommend going here, you won’t be disappointed!!
