The restaurant chain will feature its classic menu including sandwiches, salads, wraps, baguettes, croissants and sweet treats, along with various beverage options such as juices, smoothies, organic coffees and teas at these two outlets.

The company’s teams at every store will create breakfast, lunch and evening menus in on-site kitchens to customers.
