"got all the items and the quality is so good. I loved that the croissant was big enough to cover the whole BACON & CHEDDAR SANDWICH and it tasted good with the avacado. Im saving the bagel for breakast but can confirm its blueberry. The orange juice is just a tiny version of Tropicana so nothing local but still good. Please stay this consistent forever"

The shawarma is where they really shined though.. absolutely perfect. "

I loved that they provide the option to communicate during the ordering process, adding confidence she will get a safe order.
I got a Ford Pizza, added black olives and meatballs. It soooo hit the spot! Crusty cheese, delicious tomato sauce, satisfying toppings. Craving satisfied! Just LOOK at these pies!"
