Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I like that it is family-owned, and the menu is relatively unique but the price versus the quality that you receive doesn't match. The cashier was curt and disengaged, and right after we finished paying they turned to finish their conversation with their blond associate. No one called out when the food was ready, although we provided names for our orders, and I eventually went up to the counter and took what I was pretty sure was my sandwich. It wasn't that big a deal since it wasn't busy inside, but my food kinda sat there for a couple minutes while the employees socialized, before I took initiative.

First time here and O would definitely return! The sandwiches are SO GOOD! We got the So Cal with Italian wedding meatball soup and the Cranberry Brie with Tomato soup. I would recommend it all. The bread is just so good. We also got a double chocolate cookie that was warm and delicious.

I had the BBQ Tri tip with vinegar and lime chips. I ended up not being able to finish my sandwich so I saved the rest for the late. It was still good after a few hours of sitting! The location was really clean and the tables were whipped down. They had great juice options but didn't have traditional sodas outside of Coke. They were off-brand sodas, all still good!
