I had been going to Bella Bru Carmichael on a somewhat regular basis, but then on two consecutive visits they messed up my to-go order. I didn't notice until I got home. (One time I ordered a chicken sandwich and got a cobb salad!) So then I started boycotting them. I thought I would give them a second chance after not going there for about 6 months. Well, tonight I ordered a sandwich and a cookie. I should have known better and checked the bag when it was handed to me, but the cookie was missing, which I didn't notice until I got home. If they had been swamped with business I would have been more understanding, but there were approximately 4 parties (3-4 people in each party), and 3-4 people working behind the counter. (This doesn't include those people working in the kitchen.) A business is only as good as its employees and it's unfortunate to say, but Bella Bru does not hire quality workers, and their attention to orders is poor.
The facility on Fair Oaks/Arden has an excellent menu selection for breakfast. I particularly enjoy the early morning coffee and pastry as they open at 5:30 am and it is quiet and relaxing way to start the day. Large variety of coffee blends are excellent and always fresh as opposed to the chain coffee. Staff are friendly which can be difficult for young people that early in the am. Have my vote!!
Remember going to the ball game with your dad when you were a little kid? Or maybe even when you were a big kid! And the best thing about the game was the hot dog? Well, now you can relive that experience even when it's ... The Dog Out
