After seeing a segment on the news about the Kolaches or Kolacky's from Franke's in Montgomery,…read morebeing a big fan of these tasty treats I knew we had to take a road trip. They even have a Kolacky Days in Montgomery. My kind of days! Montgomery is a beautiful little town located about an hour south of the cities. We arrived just after 8am on a Saturday morning and they were busy. We went in and stood in line while we surveyed the goods. At first we didn't see any kolackys and thought maybe they were sold out. When the kind folks showed us where they were located, we were happy to see them but at the same time somewhat surprised as they were not what we were expecting. They looked like a dinner roll with some fruit filling. Well, maybe these are traditional. We ordered a couple of apply kolackys, a raspberry croissant, a cinnamon crunchy roll and a peanut ball. Sadly the kolacky was not what we expected. It tasted similar to a dinner roll with apple filling. Not bad, just not what we have previously enjoyed. The other items were good. I mean c'mon, I don't know that we've ever had a bad doughnut. Just ask Homer Simpson. Our favorite was the cinnamon cream cheese roll. We didn't get any cream cheese flavor otherwise this roll was crunchy with the pleasant taste of cinnamon. This was just our first stop on our road trip. We really enjoy small towns and bakeries so I'm sure we'll visit next time we are in the area as we can always eat a doughnut or three.

The food was okay. The donut was not very fresh enough but kolackys were great. The service was…read morevery nice though too. I would recommend this place if you really want kolackys

A coworker brought in a cake from Best Wishes Bakery. I am usually hesitant about chocolate cakes…read morebecause I make a cake from a recipe passed down from my great great grandmother and it uses 100% cacao. I cut off a small piece and my electric taste buds were set afire. I've been called finicky, persnickety, and down right difficult by my spouse, but this cake was spectacular. It not only reminded my of my "Gramma's Dark Cake" but the frosting was light and smooth. I headed back over for a second, albeit larger piece, and it didn't disappoint. Victoria has a great bakery in Best Wishes. I not only recommend it if you live or work nearby, but I recommend seeking it out as a destination.

They were happy to let us take our time browsing and choosing a few treats, which we really appreciated.

It paired perfectly with the incredible carrot cheesecake cupcake I ordered. If cake isn't your go-to, they offer cookies and plenty of other treats as well.

Edelweiss is easily my favorite spot in the area…read more There's almost always a line on weekends, but it's totally worth it and moves fast so you're not waiting long. Everything looks so good it's hard not to over order. They have a really great mix of sweet and savory options. Pastries, donuts, cakes, sandwiches, and more. The quiche is one of my go-to items and the breakfast pastries are always so good. They also have homemade granola that is to die for. Coffee and matcha are consistently great also. I love their seasonal fresh orange juice but it is a little pricey. The space itself is super cute and nicely decorated with plenty of seating, so it's a great place to sit and actually enjoy your food. I also love that they're open in the evening for wine and small plates. Makes it such a fun and unique spot for the area. Such a great local spot that does it all really well. Definitely recommend.

Not sure why this place has so many glowing food reviews--the quality just didn't match the hype…read more The ham & cheese croissant was dry and lacked the buttery, flaky richness you expect. I asked for it to be warmed from the display (which you have to request it to be warmed, not offered), but it came out barely above room temperature. The layers looked right, but the flavor simply wasn't there. The cardamom roll had the same issue--dry and overly sweet from granulated sugar, with little to no actual cardamom flavor. Even the Americano was disappointing--barely hot and lacking any real coffee depth. The atmosphere didn't help--cold and somewhat sterile, with loud acoustics that make it hard to relax. The decor also felt mismatched with the building's overall aesthetic. Staff was fine--nothing negative, but nothing that stood out beyond basic customer service. Overall, this wasn't a 5-star experience.

Update: They do serve latte's and cold brew!…read more The food is always excellent here and they have a lovely outdoor patio. The inside is well lighted with natural light. You order at the counter, take a number and they bring the food to your table. Customer service is average. This time we got the steak salad, a side of homemade chips, and a pastry. The salad was amazing and we loved the chips. My only disappointment is that they don't serve lates or cold brew coffee. For having a brunch cafe vibe you'd think they'd want to do this. Thankfully there is a caribou in the same lot.
