- GRGabrielle RedeemerNov 13, 20255.0Very cute, small dog friendly bakery with lovely drink selections and baked goods! Their banana bread latte was fantastic!
- KKKYONGSEOK KIMNov 8, 20251.0The staff member at the checkout counter (a young, White female wearing glasses) demonstrated a significant lack of engagement with customers. I observed no greeting, no thank-you, and no eye contact during my entire transaction. Initially, I wondered if this was targeted behavior; however, upon observing her interactions with some other patrons while awaiting my order, I noted that she treated them identically. During checkout, she was distracted, focused on biting her nails, which was unprofessional. Later, while dining outside, I overheard other customers expressing similar dissatisfaction. My recommendation to potential visitors is straightforward: if you see her when entering the store, consider seeking service elsewhere, as she is most likely to ruin your precious day. Fortunately, this town has several other bakeries and cafes offering comparable or superior bread and coffee, so I will not be returning.
- EGElizabeth GeorgesOct 25, 20255.0I go here every Saturday morning before my 12 hour waitressing shift and they never disappoint. The croissants are SO GOOD. My favorite is the chocolate and pistachio croissants but the almond is really good too. My only suggestion is that they need to have 2 percent milk because I hate having whole milk or nondairy alternatives. This place is like a neighborhood staple and everyone that works there is very friendly :)
- LMLiza MacFadyenOct 24, 20254.0The cheddar bacon chive scone and the blueberry lemon scone were fantastic! I also tried the banana espresso muffin which was good, but it was topped with salt and I think it should have been topped with sanding sugar instead. Lastly, I had the lox bagel sandwich which was good, but just average. I would definitely recommend this place for their pastries.
- KKKayOct 21, 20253.0Pastries were sold cold, no offer to warm up. Pastry would have been 10/10 warm Chai latte lacked flavor. Customer service lacking. Agree with others no greeting, thanks, smile; or eye contact given by barista.
