The Turkey & Pesto Croissant Sandwich is a must have. I was asked if I wanted chips or salad. I said, "I want chips. But I'll have salad." Let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. The Balsamic Vinegar dressing was more flavorful than any I've ever had. And the oil to vinegar ratio was spot on. And the sandwich? The pesto completely kicked it off. I wish the cheese had been havarti instead of cheddar, but then I'd eat havarti on just about anything. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The place has a very down-to-earth look and vibe. It's located inside the IDS Center building and is worth a trip there. They are open Mon-Fri 8am to 2pm. If you're in the area, and want to try something different, eat here.

IDS tenants get a discount and the food has always been good and healthy, in my opinion. Have never had a bad experience.
