A new generation, for sure. No personal touch. Order from a screen with limited options and nobody to answer questions. Stand and wait until someone yells your name. Take your order and leave without eye contact or a thank you. Food was not great and what is to be expected from a chain of this type.

I go here many weekday mornings before going on my long commute to Seattle and the morning crew here does a very good job with greeting customers. The sip club program they have is pretty worthwhile and worth people looking into.
I do enjoy the pastries and sandwiches, by far better than the cafeteria at my work and in terms of price, is about the same but tastes better. The prices are a bit on the steeper side with a sandwich generally costing at least $12.00. I'd put their sandwiches better than a Subway or Jimmy Johns. I think the bread is why.
Also, shout out to the guy who works the food prep on the weekday mornings because he is just on top of getting the orders out including helping his co-workers out too. One time, I got a large coffee and normally I get a regular so that same guy is used to me and hands me a regular. Without realizing it myself, he ends up rushing up to me to switch me out cups and was very polite about it.
Anyway, I'd give the sandwiches a 8/10, the pastries a 7/10 and the customer service a 10/10. It's nice when you patronize a place that has employees that look like they hate their job like at other places I've gone to before.

I don't come out here a whole lot yet been coming recently for some meetings. This place is definitely popular and has its frequent visitors. We found that the ability to sit down, do some work utilizing their wifi and outlets to keep our laptops was helpful, not to mention grab a bite as well.
As much as I was hoping for breakfast, I came right when they switched to lunch. I went for the Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt, Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup, & Caffe Latte. The sandwich was pretty good and filling, so I had some of the soup but couldn't get through most of it. I heard that the water didn't taste clean so heads up if you need some water to go with your meal yet my coworker found the sandwich to be pretty good and her broccoli cheddar soup had a bit more cheese than she was hoping for.
One of the girls at the front counter is super sweet & tends to find me to give me coffee; the counter where they prep the food also has a screen with the approximate wait time of your order with your name on it which was helpful & something I hadn't seen before.
