Comfort food at its finest...who doesn't love a good grilled cheese! The staff is friendly and accommodating! The location has plenty of outside seating that is communal for the entire plaza that could get packed during standard business lunch hours but there are a few small tables inside the shop. The smash burger and the buffalo fries are also good!

The food was great but especially the tomato basil soup! It was delicious! The staff is nice and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoyed your food. It's a small place but nice for lunch with a friend.

Nice little grilled cheese place! Got the Philly cheese steak grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup and mac and cheese. Everything is fresh and hot. I like that there's customization and a set menu for ease of ordering. Parking is a bit busy but nice place to eat for lunch time. Friendly service as well :)

Great spot for grilled cheese. Nice thick bread perfectly toasted. Really like their new breakfast menu but I wish it could be all day because I love eggs. Tried their: Bacon Melt - I really liked it. On par with more egg focused places. LA pastrami - bomb pastrami grilled cheese. Really like the chunks of pickle in it Breakfast Mac - it was ok Hash rounds - really good. Would prefer some sort of loaded breakfast hash rounds. Definitely pull up if you're in the mood for a good grilled cheese!

Really great breakfast/lunch spot if you're in the area! We got their hash brown rounds which probably was my favorite thing, I could have eaten the whole order cause I love hash browns. We also got their Bacon Morning Melt, which is a really great solid, hearty breakfast sandwich. We chose to get it with the sriracha aioli, I believe, and it was really good. Their L.A. Pastrami Grilled cheese was bomb too, I love pickles and it had pickles inside the sandwich. Good amount of pastrami too! They were pretty busy with orders when we arrived, so we waited a little while for our food but it was worth the wait! They also came by and gave us cookies because of the wait and that was so thoughtful and nice. Great customer service. Will definitely be back!

Solid place for grilled cheese! I would have given if a five it my sandwich had way too much sauce on it, which kind of overwhelmed the other ingredients. Got the Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese and was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was seasoned. The pesto aioli tasted like mayo and there was a lot of it, drowning the tomatoes and arugula. Overall it was a tasty sandwich. My husband got the Mushroom & Truffle Mac and cup of tomato basil soup, both of which he enjoyed. You could even taste the truffle oil in the mac! Will definitely come back again!

Located in a plaza with ample parking and tables indoors and outdoors Quirky and mismatched decor but the food and service itself was great and pretty quick too. I got the birria Mac and was expecting it more red but it was still a light yellow color with birria meat, don't think consommé was incorporated - good regardless. They also have Happy Hour deals 2-6pm, 15% off mac and cheese and I think sandwiches? Some other options too

4.5/5 stars Build the grilled cheese of your dreams?! Yes please! I customized my grilled cheese with pesto aioli, arugula, tomato, onions, mushrooms, and lobster/krab ($17). It was huge! It was pretty cheesy, and the aioli sauce made it so tasty! It was a little greasy/heavy on the sauce and could have had more lobster/krab, but it was a very satisfying grilled cheese
