This review is more for the manager Gabby. I had an issue with a door dash order, and called the store directly since i dont believe doordash gives feedback to the stores when there is an issue. This person Gabby went above and beyond to handle the issue and make it right. I have great appreciation for all her help and professionalism

What nice employees. I was just treated with spectacular service by Jeanna and Alexis. They were both taking care of me making a burrito, and informed me not to miss free coffee day. They said I should make sure to get one. I informed them I had already purchased two drinks and I was OK. They made sure to make sure I felt welcomed and loved. Great job ladies

I was recently getting my lunch at this store, using food stamps to get a sandwich. In My own absent mindedness, I ordered a BLT, completely forgetting that bacon is a cooked food, (Food stamps doesn't cover that). When paying for it at the counter I apologized and asked to cancel it as I didn't have any cash. Then to my rescue came the very kind and generous associate Nick who was also behind the counter and whipped out his own credit card and said "I got it"! It's very pleasing to me in my old age to find that kindness and generosity is still running strong in these dark political days. Thank you Nick, Your Kindness will not go unnoticed.

Let me start by saying that these employees may be one of the most kind and generous people to encounter. They catered a huge amount of treats and goodies for Lakewood teachers on teacher appreciation week. The entire staff felt so special and appreciated. They couldn’t stop talking about how neat & perfect everything was. We felt so honored & we thank you guys so much!
