On the first day, I ordered the Taurus (spring seasonal menu), but I got it hot since it was a chilly day. This was tasty, but it was way better iced with the addition of the cherry cold foam, which I got to try on day 3. On day 2, I ordered the Almond Croissant Latte (also spring seasonal menu), which was definitely on the sweet side but had a nice flavor to it. Service was friendly and quick and all drinks were served in to-go cups. They also had a large selection of gluten-free pastries, which my friend enjoyed. Worth the visit!

I split a medium size and it was both affordable (less than $5 total) and the perfect amount of a warm and decadent drink. By the time we came in the afternoon, most of the pastries were sold out, so time your visit early or expect to see only the sad leftovers on the shelf. Besides that, it's a small but bright and cozy spot with limited seating. Perfect for a grab-and-go beverage.

However, there was a good amount of open seating inside. We shared a BREAKFAST SANDWICH which took some time but was very tasty. We also got two donuts: a blueberry donut and a fruity pebbles donut. The blueberry one was more cake like and I liked it much more than the fruity pebbles which was unfortunately not very good. All in all, a nice quick stop for breakfast.

Prices were a bit steep but expected for 'artisanal' doughnuts in a tourist town. Alas, all three were decidedly just average. Even more unexpectedly, all of them really just tasted predominantly like the same meh base doughnut. If you're craving a superior sweet treat go around the corner to Dolce Gelato instead, I'd recommend cannoli, espresso or pumpkin!

The bagels are a good size and they were not stingy with the cream cheese! It was loaded! The cream cheese was very creamy and smooth! There is not much seating so we ordered our bagels to go. The workers were very nice and worked very fast. The shop also offered coffee and cold drinks to go and they also had some goodies to buy such as coffee beans,/T-shirts. This place is super cute and cozy and perfect for a quick yummy lunch.

That's a huge plus and easy to miss if you're just skimming reviews. Now onto mine. Counter service with self serve coffee and tea. Good selection of bagels (they have rosemary, which not everyone has) and spreads (they have whitefish salad, which not everyone has), plus breakfast sandwiches and more ambitious lunch sandwiches. I found the service excellent, the pricing more than fair, and the bagels pretty good. Even though they're not cracking my greater Boston top 5 or my New England top 10, the bagels have a nice texture to them: chewy, but a lighter brand of chewy, kinda like a biscuit. That texture grows on you as you try more of them. The pumpernickel bagel was a little light on flavor but the onion bagel made up for it. The rosemary salt bagel was much heavier on the salt than the rosemary, but still good. I'd go back.

I brought it back and asked for it to be reheated before returning to my seat. Since I was only asking for the soup to be warmed up, I did not expect it to take more than five minutes. I waited patiently for about 15 minutes, possibly longer, and eventually had to walk back to the counter to ask about it. A staff member told me it would be out shortly. After waiting another five minutes, the soup was returned, but it was still not hot. The cheese had not melted and looked unappetizing. It appeared that the soup had simply been sitting out, causing the cheese to sink rather than melt properly. I brought this to a staff member's attention, but there was no apology. Instead, I was simply asked what I wanted them to do. The lack of customer service was disappointing. They asked if I wanted a refund and I decline. I was expecting an apology for the delay or at least an explanation of what had happened. Since it had rained earlier, we were looking forward to enjoying something warm, comforting and good vibes. Instead, we left with a feeling that our concerns were dismissed. An apology goes a long way, but good customer service is even more important. If you want customers to return, acknowledging mistakes and addressing concerns professionally should be expected.

I visited Chococoa Baking on a beautiful Saturday morning after stumbling upon it during my walk in…read moreNewburyport, and what a lovely surprise it was! This bakery has such a great and unique selection of whoopie pies and everyone is sure to find a flavor they'll love. I got a hot chocolate and a Boston creme whoopie pie and both were very delicious. The bakery was very busy at the time I was there and I did not find a seat, even as just one person. Luckily the building it's in has other seating which I found to be nicer and quieter than eating in the bakery. I will also say that the flow of the bakery is confusing. After walking in the door, you have to walk through most of the space to get in line, and then stand at the bar, in between seats to get any drinks you ordered. It wasn't too bad, but definitely felt a bit odd to me which was the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

The employees from the hotel are supposed to serve the food which is only catered by one choice caterer. Sweet peas, bakery. All the baked foods that we ordered, including the cake was delicious The service however at the Garrison serving the food purchased at the sweet pea bakery for the tea lounge was not worth the cost. Before the event and during guests from the hotel thought it was a free breakfast brunch and we're coming in taking glasses to serve themselves. Hotel employees did not say anything I had to say something. They should have a signed private event. 10 minutes later, the same thing happened with other uninvited guests from the hotel. 15 minutes into the function the urn for hot water for the tea was still coming out cold (you would think something called the tea room )would be able to have tea when the event starts? I knew the exact time because the party guest came up to me and told me it was still coming out cold and I looked at my watch. I do not think you should have to wait until 15 minutes into an event to start having the tea. It is a short event and expensive event. Everything should be ready at 11 not 11:15 the servers were supposed to replenish the multiple salads and fruit (I shouldn't have had to police it) when I saw it was down to the bottom I looked for the girl (she wasn't around)then I looked in the room to do it myself but I couldn't find where she had the extra two bowls of salad I purchased. I had to go to the front lobby of the hotel to see if I could find the girl. The woman behind the hotel lobby desk which I thought worked there because that's where she sat the whole time she told me that she must've went to the bathroom. I told her I have been waiting for her to come back for 15 minutes to refill the salad. She told me she would do it. I didn't even think she was part of the event. I thought she worked at the hotel because she was sitting behind the desk but I guess she's the manager. The bowl was not filled for 15 minutes. The event was almost over and I had a lot of extra food because it was not replenished as it should've been. The gratuity tip is automatically decided for you even if they didn't do their job the way it should've been done. I felt like I had to do a lot of the event myself as far as going back-and-forth to notify them not to even mention that people from the hotel were coming in thinking it was a free breakfast. Although it was beautiful and the bride enjoyed herself, I was disappointed in the final outcome. I did try to call the hotel several times that night after the event I did not want to do it in front of the bride. I finally got a hold of someone on Thursday and she denied all of it I had people with me that can confirm everything. Good luck if you book this place.
