I really like the atmosphere here.
The restaurant is pretty big, so the feeling is open and allows for great work vibes or space for good conversation.
The coffee is solid and the BAS (Big A$$ Sandwich) was delicious.
The employees were all welcoming and attentive.
I’d def go back.

First time here.
Stopped in after a nice bike ride along the lake.
Checked out the reviews before hand and everyone seemed to love the food/place.
I would agree. It's located on the ground floor of an office building.
During normal business hours you can access it through the building main entrance, but it was saturday and you enter through a side door on the south side.
The dining area is nice, but not especially cozy.
(why atmosphere is 4 stars) It was nearly noon and the place was starting to get busy.
The staff were friendly and helpful with the menu.
It was past breakfast we ordered a sandwich and salad.
A TAB, Turkey, Apple and Bacon sandwich, with curry spread.
And a Smoked Turkey, Apple and Cranberry Salad.
Both were excellent.
The roll with the salad was just okay (a piece of baguette would have been an improvement). Overall, a great dining choice.

I stopped in for an early lunch yesterday on my way back to Chicago, and was very pleasantly surprised to see a fried walleye sandwich on the menu.
It was excellent - freshly fried, good dressing, and a very good roll.
The combo with drink and a side was a great deal, and while I had high hopes for the German potato salad, alas...
too much sugar, not enough vinegar.
Service was good, albeit a bit perfunctory.
Next time I'm in Racine I'll go back for the tuna fish sandwich, which gets rave reviews.
