Going by Yelp's "Could've been better" label for 2 stars, I'd say that solidly fits my experience. It was so....weird.
First, we'll tackle the good: the food. Between two of us, we ordered two breakfast sandwiches from the case - a ham and swiss and a bagel veggie sandwich - and picked up some granola and cinnamon rolls. The granola was absolutely amazing - chai and orange flavored, and i've been really enjoying it. The ham and swiss breakfast sandwich was served molten hot (awesome) and the bread texture was great. cinnamon rolls were a great texture but too sweet for me. so... let's get to the not-so-good...
first, we went so my partner could bring in some treats for her team at work, one of whom is strictly gluten intolerant. we browsed the shelves as the woman behind the counter just stared at us, not responding to our hello. my partner asked if not served until a couple days, which was better - frozen or fresh cinnamon rolls put into the freezer at home? this prompted an incredibly awkward and tense conversation with the person behind the counter who was very unfriendly in general. the other person behind the counter just watched the interaction play out, arms folded, doing nothing.
after that weird back and forth, we ordered to go and waited. they gave us a number for the table, but also then served one sandwich and our coffees to go, correctly. we waited for the second sandwich... and waited... about 10 minutes later, they brought out both sandwiches, with fruit cups. we then told them it was to go, and that we already had the first one. they they returned with the other sandwich bagged up, our fruit packaged (would i not have gotten the second fruit serving if this hadn't happened?) and who knows what happened to the poor mistaken doubled sandwich.
we had an americano and a macchiato as well, and boy oh boy was i reminded why i hate lighthouse's coffee. their roast is absolutely burned to hell. i can't imagine why they even serve straight espresso. i took our drinks home and steamed up sweetened milk to add just to make them drinkable.
so... whew. would i go back? if i needed a reliably safe GF place for a loved one, yes. otherwise, heck no. it was unfriendly, poorly served and the coffee was terrible.
