Order was perfectly accurate

Grocery pickup saved me more than an hour of weekend errands easily. Bagels were boiled right and had a lovely chewy crust around the edges.

Burnt coffee again

Meal kit arrived with wilted greens and a cracked egg leaking everywhere. Fish was obviously not fresh and had an unmistakable fishy smell on the plate.

Refund took forever

Hot chocolate was watery and tasted like it was mixed from an old packet. Soup was thinned with water to the point that it tasted like broth and nothing else.

Smoothie was unreal

Chef's special surprised me with an unexpected and lovely flavor combination. Pancakes were fluffy and the maple syrup tasted authentic rather than artificial. Quality of the meat clearly came from a careful butcher nearby.

Spotless dining area

Takeout containers were sturdy and kept the food neatly separated throughout the drive. Fresh baked bread was crusty outside and pillowy soft inside.

Great value for money

Specialty drink menu rotated with the season and felt thoughtful rather than gimmicky. Checkout was efficient even during a very busy weekend rush. Takeaway was packaged thoughtfully with sauces separate from the main dish.
