  • Quiet bookstore, 2 employees, 1 on phone so why did other person make me wait so long to take my order? Looked on menu on internet before went to shop and thought it was food supplied by a restaurant, not something from a grocery store. OK, but not what menu led me to believe

    The establishment replied to this review on May 08, 2026PR, We are sorry you had this experience! We are constantly struggling with the demands of online (or otherwise unseen) customers against those within the store. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this caused. Thank you for bringing the flaws of our menu to our attention. We will try to change it to reflect a more accurate description of "A variety of baked goods in the morning" and "A selection of snacks in the afternoon" Thank you again for your honest review, RQ Team
