  1. I came here for soup (and the bright atmosphere) and I got some pretty good Tuscan White Bean soup with Escarole for only about $4.00. That was a large and with two pieces of "home-made" rosemary foccacia bread, I think I did pretty good here!

    Not only was I happy with the food, but the staff were incredibly nice and helpful – a smile here, a wink there and already my over-worked spirits were lifted. Come to think of it, I must have really looked pathetic the other day for the counter girl to keep urging me to take another piece of bread. Next time I'll have to remember to make a bathroom stop before leaving the dungeon.

  2. It's been about 20 minutes since I got back from Fresco on the Go to grab lunch… all I have to say, is that the place is really very nice but could possibly be better!  

    Pros:

    — The open and airy layout is much welcomed in the drab and bleek surrounding area.  It just brightens your mood the second you walk in.  There's a sunflower-theme to this joint, with yellow-painted walls and ceiling art of sunflowers and even sunflower images within the light fixtures (very pretty).. I also love the cafeteria-style seating area that sits slightly above the rest of the place on the elevated level.  There's a huge flat-screen tuned into msnbc for those who may have ADD and find it difficult to sit at a table and concentrate solely on just the meal.  

    — There are a number of options for food.. you can do breakfast, lunch or dinner.. there's a pasta station, hot foods section, wraps/sammies/rolls, and a coffee bar.. OMG, I saw a huge slice of carrot cake and a jumbo-sized chocolate-oatmeal cookie that I really wanted to snatch up while I was waiting on line to pay for my lunch, but I digress….  

    — Lastly, the portions are enormous and the ingredients seem clean and fresh, undefiled.

    Cons:

    — It's pricey!  My pasta dish set me back about $9.00.. and this is just lunch we're talking about..

    — The food is a touch bland and quite oily (this is based off of my whole wheat penne, with pesto, escarole, chicken, and sausage meal).  What could have been great, turned out to be just alright.  But I'd definitely be back again to try other things like their rolls which are gigantic-looking and very appetizing!

    I'm already thinking about my next trip back… it's definitely much nicer than a Europa Cafe!

  3. I stopped in once for breakfast.  Very nice seating area, much better than the typical deli or fast food joint.  Prices at breakfast were no worse than McDonalds.  $4.00 for a sandwich, $2.00 for a large coffee.  Coffee was better than most.  

    Looking at the menu, only one item was more than $10.00 – that was $11.95 for a caesar steak rollup.

  4. This place is above my pay grade.

    $10 for a panini and a drink is a bit rich for my blood.

    Note: When they say avocado – they mean green semi guac paste not freshly cut pieces of avocado.

    Place is bright, plenty of seating (probably because the prices chased away the patrons) and the people were friendly and efficient.
