"Ham & Swiss Croissant Stuffer is delicious! nice and warm and fresh and soft! yum! the donuts are ok they're good but I've te tasted better honestly Hot Chocolate is really good"
"Croissants was toasted too hard, which was actually kind of burnt. The little hashbrowns doesn't taste like hashbrowns they taste weird not really a fresh taste. The iced coffee was decent. I probably will order the coffee again. Overall, I'm not really a fan of Duncan food. I'll probably just stick to the coffee if I ever order again. The portion was decent "

"CARAMEL LOVERS WILL love The caramel ribbon crunch w/ XTRA crunchies & the cup lined with caramel NO EXTRA FEEs. & looks to TOP IT OFF ADD A SHOT for $1 to even out the sweetness& coffee excellent"
"They always forget something, be it straw, napkin, or knife, or the avocado spread. Other than that, the food is good. Sometimes, it's messy. The portion is okay. The food is fresh. I order from them often because I like the fact that the food is healthier than say McDonald's. The coffee is always good. I mainly order Frapps. I don't drink much hot coffee because I wind up having to reheat it, and I never get enough cream or sweetness."

"The Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki® salad was a smacker, they made that salad fire at a late hour, it was pure freshness and a perfect portion. I think this Subway location on taft hwy has a lot of other locations in town beat. I would definitely reorder, they did their thaaaang baybeee #bigbackinn"
"Food was absolutely disgusting. Next time I'll just go to Jersey Mikes or Firehouse Subs. Subway has fallen all the way off and they're too expensive for the quality of food they provide. The food given to me was bland and had a funny aftertaste. I couldn't even finish the 6 inch and threw it out. Chips were good thood though."

"I really wanted to order from a local coffee shop. So this is my first time ordering. I saw that they had a Honey Lavender Latte, which got me really curious about trying because l love the favor of lavender in my coffee or tea. I was blown away by how fresh the coffee was and the favors in this drink! It had a good balance of everything! It's absolutely delicious. You got to try it!!"
"502 Coffee has quickly become my Saturday morning must! This local spot serves incredible Guatemalan coffee, and you can truly taste the quality in every sip. The flavors are rich, smooth, and consistently delicious. Their customer service is always warm and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve loved every drink I’ve tried so far, but my absolute favorite is the Vanilla Cream — it’s a must-try! If you’re looking for a cozy local shop with amazing drinks and great vibes, 502 Coffee is the place to go. Highly recommend! ☕️💛"

It didnt taste bad just didnt WOW me for the price because the flavor was pretty tame the lettuce reminds me of walmarts pre shredded lettuce that comes in bags. This is real sourdough bread which i think they make themselves. I would eat this over subway but for the price id just go get jersey mikes. The portion was good a little less thn subways footlongs. I dont think id order again personally but im gonna leave a good review for this fresh business"
