“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!”
