Love their food!! Is usually really subpar. This last time, the service was so messed up it was comical!! So I'm going to the time because it should be a script for a comedy and I like comedy's, no malice intended. So, I ordered a grilled roast beef sandwich (checked all the boxes checked w provolone cheese and did not check mayo) from the owner mgr.everything on it but mayo. It's a sheet you check boxes on so even less room for mistakes, so one would think. I asked where do I specify where to write Grilled and she said " We have our own system, if we had the option "grilled" listed then everyone would want their sandwich grilled" " I just tell the cook." Called my name in less than 5 mins, sandwich wasnt grilled, but decided to eat it anyway, bit into and it had cheddar on it? I looked at my slip yep checked provolone. I better ask for them to fix this so I can enjoy my 15.00 meal. I went up to end of counter and waited to receive the most annoyed look from a different women behind the counter after standing there 3 mins or so (it wasnt busy) she yelled down to me "ya need something?' To which I replied " my sandwich was not grilled and it has cheddar and provolone. She came down, to m end of counter and asked "who took your order?: I handed her my slip to offer evidence of what I ordered, and said " I believe it was the owner". There was a name I couldnt make out written on the slip.She ignored the fact that provolone was checked and I was given cheddar and said "well, why didnt you circle grilled?" I was like huh? I'm sorry I didn't see it and asked the mgr asnshe said she just tells the cook. To which she said well you could have circled the '"grilled" of the grilled panini and drawn a line down to roast beef". At this point in was thinking whoa! She was either meant to be a debate team captain or is just stuck in ego mode, and she didn't even take my order. She took and gave it to cook. "Oh by the way I asked for the Arnold Palmer, so could I get some lemonade in this please? After about 5 mins owner came back out and asked me what I needed, 'just lemonade in the drink" and that I was waiting for my sandwich she said I could go sit down someone would bring it to me. So i went to sit, my butt hit the seat as my name was called out. Went and got my sandwich. ' looks delicious, perfect, thank you!" I was all smiles, sat down looked at my pickle and it was literally the size of a shriveled up French fry!! Sooo drye I honestly thought the cook may have given it to me for sending the sandwich back. Anyway bit into my sandwich and Now it had Mayonaise on it! LOL!! The one thing I had not checked.... I ate it anyway, I'm not allergic or anything was just trying to eat a bit healthier when I was going to throw my tray away I asked the owner who I almost bumped into if the pickles were dehydrated now. She looked right at it and again it was the size of a McDonald's French fry and the skin was curdled! And instead of offering me a replacement her reply was 'No, we just are cutting them a lot smaller now". I was shocked. Arnold Palmer had more ice than drink,so I asked for a refill (they offer free refills on the tea not sure about other fountain drinks). She added even more ice and couldnt put much of any fluid in that cup then. 'Its a little full, sorry." I walked out spilling tea on my hands and sleeves. This all happened a week ago. I swear 0 exaggeration and wish I had taken a picture of that pickle!! I felt like a character I Love Lucy ! Anyway, yummy pastries and sandwiches 2 out of 3 times I've visited. Just dont asked for grilled, the other time I did it was almost burnt and sourdough was so hard the roof of my mouth hurt the rest of the day.

Very tasty... lots of ethnic European foods. A bit pricey...

Honesty is my policy. We went on a Sunday at noon and it was jammed. Although I live in Southern California I was born and raised in New York where the standard for baked goods is very high. We purchased both bakery goods and sandwiches as well as take home items. Judging simply on the actual quality of the items we received, I have to say it was average and adequate. Of course, I happen to know what outstanding really is. Unfortunately this does not come near that level. The bakery items at Vons and Costco is certainly better. I went during a visit to Tehachapi, a lovely place and as far as I know it could be the best place in town. That does not meet the standard for an outstanding rating. If I return to the city of Tehachapi for another visit I will try someplace else.
