Order tips
- · Dressing on the side — dip the fork, use half as much, still get flavor.
- · Half salad or half sandwich feels intentional, not deprived.
- · Fruit cup is the cafe side that doesn’t wreck sodium.
- · Soups and bread bowls look cozy; many are sodium landmines.
- · Skip the automatic baguette add-on unless you really want it.
