So...I want to like this place due to the convenient location. There were a couple of good experiences - coffee was pretty good, lentil soup was really good. Service was 'meh'. But the bad experiences were so bizarre, I don't think I'll be coming back.\n\n1: In a hurry to pick up my sister from work, I stopped by to grab a to-go snack for the both of us. Goat cheese/pesto/sundried tomato tart? Sounds delicious! It was delicious upon tasting it. However, there were bits of *sharp* broken plastic lodged in the goat cheese, (which, by the way, I chewed on until I realized that it wasn't a really dry tomato, but in fact plastic). I took a picture, then called to provide a friendly, \"FYI - this happened. I don't know how this happened, but you might want to investigate.\" She was friendly enough, but incredulous, (are you sure this didn't somehow magically happen inside the closed to-go bag/box while you were driving?) - lending to the worry that nothing was done in terms of investigation. I tossed the rest of it, (to the dismay of my hungry sister), for fear of destroying her insides.\n\n2: Upon the next visit, (a week or so later), I stopped in to have the soup, since the lentil was great the last time I had soup here. They didn't have the lentil, but they did have the roasted red pepper. When I came to order, the guy at the counter informed me that they only had enough soup left for one cup, and that he wanted it. I couldn't tell if he was joking, but after a long stare, he placed the order. When I went to pay, he informed me that I wouldn't have to pay sales tax today because their 'system was down'. Thanks? That sounds...a bit unethical, but okay. Soup finally came out, (was told the reason it took a while because there was work going on in the back). Delicious, much like the lentil soup. But as I was eating, I noticed the contractors working in the kitchen were on ladders doing something to the ceiling. Above where the food is being prepared. No bits of ceiling in the soup, thankfully. But wow.\n\nLike I said - very torn. The food is great tasting, but I shouldn't have to worry about ingesting foreign objects upon each visit.
