I come here from time to time. It's a favorite of a family member. The selection is great, the food is good, the service is unfaultable the prices are reasonable until you only get a small serving. I asked for a smoked chicken wrap, it was gluten free and absolutely delicious. The only thing was that there was a miserable amount of filling. :-( For the price, it wasn't good value. In saying that, the coffee was great.
