My friend also recommended the Fancy B. I only ate half and that was enough for a meal. I ended up eating the order half the next day and it was still just as good. They were really nice and very patient. They were quick to get us our order too. Definitely coming back to try their smears and more of their bagels.

Food: We ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese. I don't have much to compare it with since I…read morehardly order bagels but I thought it was pretty good. Nice crunch with a soft chewy inside. There was a generous amount of cream cheese so much that it would ooze out with every bite. Service: its just a counter, but the order came out pretty quick and the workers seemed nice. Price: Again, I dont know a lot about bagels but $7 does seem a little high for a plain bagel. Maybe next time I would try one of their bagel sandwiches.

I loved: - the easy parking - convenient location (I may have bought the birthday gifts right before at Pearlridge!) - how this is a non-profit that supports people with disabilities and sweet animals - snuggling with the adorable puppies outside available for adoption (I was so tempted!) My daughter loved: - feeding cats - playing with cats I was a little worried because she had a bad experience at a puppy cafe in Japan, but the kittens seemed well behaved. We got to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and and apple juice, and some outside food like pizza, because we were celebrating a birthday party. We'd love to come back and play with the animals again!

The space is thoughtfully separated into two rooms: one for little kittens and one for the adult cats, which I really appreciated. You're free to wander back and forth between rooms, so it feels relaxed and never rushed. Your visit comes with a small treat for you and a variety of cat toys to choose from! The cats are adoptable, which I thought was such a kind and humane touch. It's clear they genuinely care about finding these cats loving homes. Just a friendly heads-up: scratches can happen. Pretty sure the owner does their best to keep those tiny murder mittens trimmed, but cats will be cats. If you do leave with a few battle scars like I did, they've got you covered with bandaids and lint rollers too, because the cat hair is inevitable. Overall, this place is cozy, thoughtful, and incredibly cute!! Such a lovely experience!! I'd absolutely come back again!!

When I finally said something at 12, they brushed me off, claiming they were waiting on "one more thing."

All of this would be forgivable if someone, anyone acknowledged the wait or just apologized.

I paid $33 for 6 brownies, and that was only because they were running a buy 3, get 1 free special.

Overall, great quality, just a bit pricey and could use clearer pricing.

Sweet cravings... In…read morethe midst of the holidays somehow the snackin' cravings hit differently as it seems like it's allowed for us to celebrate and be festive. I'm not one to make or bake any snacks so places like CeCe Patisserie is the place for me as they're located in Pearl Kai which is right across from Pearlridge Center and with lots of free parking the convenience is very easy and you can find them right behind Jiffy Lube. Walking in the vibe is so festive and bright with a staff who I believe is a family friend was such a delight describing just about everything in the shop and not missing a beat it was so difficult to decide and I needed quite a bit of snacks...6 to be exact and not refrigerated so it did illuminate a few which made the choices much easier for me. After much browsing it was the tub of Chex Mix as it came in Hurricane, Ranch, Tajin or Everything Bagel seasoning. Love the various flavors and I got three of Hurricane and Everything Bagel and with multiple purchase there was a little discount that's really appreciated :) There was quite a bit of baked goods many are a bit more sensitive and wished they had more of the snacks as they do make great gifts as well but there are cupcakes, banana bread, brownies and cheesecake...so many options is incredible. It seems like they have a food truck as well making this little shop a busy spot in so many ways. Thank you!

Liv was so delightful and clearly the right person for the job so I knew I was in the right place. In the meantime I ordered an iced coffee (which was delicious!!!!) and sat down and watched folks come and go. This is clearly a popular local coffee and snack shop so I will keep this place in mind since it's locally owned and operated and their decaf is processed via osmosis, not chemicals. That's a big plus.

Lots of people getting coffee to go and food. It's in a great location! I was also looking for a new coffee supplier. I used to go to Downtown Coffee but the last batch I bought was not very good. I bought Guatemala, Columbia, and Hawaiian. Had them all ground fine. Each one proved to be a winner with the family! So happy to have found this not so hidden gem! It is now my go to for beans!

Look, I'm still a huge fan of these bagels and will stand by my last review that they are my…read morefavorite on island. The problem is consistency. We basically get a half dozen bagels every weekend now and the quality is kinda all over the place. Sometimes all the bagels are super well done and dark, othertimes they're super soft and barely baked. Sometimes there's a ton of garlic and onion on the everthing bagels and other times its just sesame and poppy seeds. If they can get this consistency nailed down i'd go back to 5 stars, but as it is now, i can't honestly leave the 5 star rating as is. Side note: Gotta get there EARLY. Went to get bagels last week and they stopped selling the half dozens by 8:15. (yeah, farmers market opens at 8, but they are typically set up beforehand)
