this cafe could be amazing. it's located right in the heart of a busy college and professional district of providence. it serves delicious sandwiches and salads.
sadly, the prices are a bit on the high side. not a problem when you know you're getting what you're paying for. however, the pricing and/or portion sizes seem to fluctuate on a whim. for example, there's no option on the menu to add chicken to their classic salad, but it can be done...at about twice the cost to add chicken to the caesar salad. i'm not quite sure how that works, but the worker who was once friendly to me will now no longer look me in the eye since i've questioned that arbitrary pricing. they've also apparently decided to serve slices of their pound cake that are roughly half the size of what they originally sold....only for the same price! not fair to the customer, choklad.
be prepared for a wait if you go in around noontime, though you can call your order in ahead of time. however, there is no system for separating pre-order customers from walk-ins, and i've already been cut in line by someone grabbing a muffin, who was simply too impatient to stand behind me while i waited for my call-in order.
finally, this cafe could be great if it had a little more variety, a menu that had specials for each day perhaps, and i think they could draw a larger college-aged crowd if they were open later than 4pm.
Pros: delicious gourmet sandwiches
Cons: pricey, disorganized, inconsistent
