The young man manning the place said they were closing at 4pm, with no reason given... so I rushed to finish my coffee which he filled only 3/4 of the way & my turkey blt which had no vegetables in it. Definitely gave an idgaf vibe. Almost as bad as the girl who is almost too busy talking on her phone to notice you.
The big windows make the place nice & bright, but the floors are quite tired looking & make the place feel kindof grungy. At least the prices are reasonable for the area.

Great location in a beautiful old building in the Old Port, but unfortunately that's it. The food in the display case looked pretty stale, & the one girl working was taking a personal phone call while at the counter. At one point she got really loud & tearful; it was disruptive. Maybe staff up so people can take turns? Or train staff not to take personal phone calls while at the counter?
