You would never know this place existed if you did not go into the citcorp(court square) building depending on which side of the building you are on. They make delicious smoothies. I used to order a mozzarella sandwich with tomato on a hero and it was to die for. Sadly, they no longer deliver to me but I don't mind walking down there and eating. The reason I give the 3 stars is because sometimes it is hit or miss with the workers. I have yet to try other things on their menu. The plus side is that you get your food quickly when you actually go there.
Pleasant service but come on now, If I'm going to pay $7 for a simple LTS tuna salad sandwich then the bread should be fresh. The roll was super stale
Prices went up again and the wisenheimer at the register tried to blame it on the "machines" for charging tax. Sorry, toots, that's the same excuse you gave when prices went up a couple of months ago. If you're going to raise prices, just say so, don't try to lie to your customers. You already started charging tax a few months ago, so I'm not going to fall for that, unless there's some new tax that nobody else in the world charges.
And I still never understood why they didn't charge tax on my takeout coffee for six years and then when the new management came in, they started charging it. But whatever, doesn't matter anymore.
I'm done…I hereby officially resign as the duke of this dump. They are no cheaper than anywhere else now and they're just not worth it.
This is really worthy of zero stars, but until they get some real competition, they're going to stay in business.
L.A. Gourmet is my go-to spot every morning I work in the LIC office. There are tons of options not to mention amazing customer service.
Even if there weren't as many options, this place gets a 5 because Julio greets me by name (and sometimes song) and remembers the exact meal I want when I go in (and it's a very particular request). And I see him interacting that way with many customers. How nice is that?
It is the best a quick, moving-fast, cafe can be. Good coffee and tons of fresh options for breakfast and lunch. At least a handful of people from my office order from it daily.
I wouldn't know what many of us would do without it.
I come here almost everyday for lunch because of proximity to work, and the price (if you buy the right things).
For me, the right thing is when you find a good weight of food at the hot buffet. The options are relatively diverse and it helps me control my portions, save money and pick healthy options. It's really easy for me to grab a decent portion of raw spinach and pair it with a protein of my choice. The protein rotates between variations of fish, chicken, pork and beef. They also usually have just a few options for cooked vegetables — i wish they had more here.
If the hot buffet is not for you, there are some meals for breakfast that are pretty decent in price considering the portion.
I can't say the service here is the best though…
