a line for food, a line for seats...
4 Star Rating: Recommended

04/12/2008 Posted by freewilly7

felt slightly overrated as the soup/sandwich/coffee is just about what i expect at a decent place like this, but it's good regardless. the place is crowded as is, w/long order line; took us at least 20 min to finish the food-getting process, and then there's another line for the limited seating (about 25) there were! and there are people who just won't finish their very last bites (or sips) and get the heck out but instead took their sweet time chatting it up and giggling around as if they're at a fine-dining restaurant or something. yes, they have every right to do that regardless, but in my personal opinion i just thought people can use a little bit more consideration and compassion when eating at a small sandwich place like this, especially during peak-time. order out if you can, esp during peak times (weekend included). thought ms. chang started off as a pastry chef (and expect more items to that end on the menu), but all we had was just her sandwiches. have yet to try her sweet stuff. maybe next time. it's a cool place to hang--if you can find a seat first. :)

Pros: good neighborhood, park right outside for a little picnic!!

Cons: packed area, seat-your-self style (good lucky w/your tray of food)
