As this place is no longer in business, I don't know how helpful this is, except as a "cautionary tale" to Groupon to vet businesses carefully before offering their deals to the public. This place must have been a front. Every time I went to redeem my offer, which was at least three times and at various hours/days of the day/week, they were always closed, even when their sign indicated open. I would even call ahead to make sure they'd be open before venturing over there. They never picked up the phone. Finally, in the final days before the Groupon expired, there was a sign on their door saying the business was officially shuttered. I feel cheated out of my money and can only hope others didn't get left in the rain like I did. I'd give it no stars if I could.

I honestly can't give an opinion either way, because the actual cafe (restaurant experience ) is being remodeled. So what they have open is really just a VERY small deli, with an extremely limited menu. I went during lunch hours, and the menu consist of salads and sandwiches (each a set price). Many ingredients were not available for what they advertised...no avocado or turkey, as well as many other things. But ingredients they did have was very fresh, and the young lady who made my lunch was very nice. I think I will go back once the actual restaurant is open. Oh, and they didn't have a bathroom for customers! :-(
