The display cases are filled with works of art, that taste delicious. The staff is cheerful, friendly and all of them dressed in uniforms gives a feeling of professionalism. I enjoyed a Smoked Ham and Gruyere Croissant and a black coffee in house. I was to have a seat at the counter in their front window and relax while my dogs were at the doggie spa up the street. The croissant was super-super flakey and the smoked ham paired beautifully with the gruyere cheese. I couldn't come to NRB and not take home a couple of sweet treats. My favorite treat was the Raspberry Lemon Financier. It was so good the next morning with my home brewed coffee. Then that evening I enjoyed a Lemon Cake whose name I cannot recall. It exceeded moistness and the strong lemon flavor was just what I like. In addition to my treats, I got a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie for my fur-babies pet stylist as part of her tip. My only dislike and it's minor, is that they serve Kaldi's Coffee. I'm glad they are supporting another local small business, but I am not a fan of their product. Typically when I know a cafe serves Kaldi's, I pass on the coffee, but I made an exception here.

I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was. The sandwich bread was expertly crafted, soft without being tough, making it easy to chew. The pastries stood out as well, with a rich cheesiness and chocolatey sweetness that felt unique. Service was efficient with multiple staff members assisting customers. The place also has limited window seating available for dining.

My review is based on having a Turkish background. I think positive reviews left for this place are…read morefrom people that have no knowledge of middle eastern food and have very low standards. I was excited to finally try this place even though I was warned about the baklavas being too dry. Sadly that's true. I dint think they are made fresh. They lack syrupy. I understand they don't have much food traffic but cutting down on the types of baklava and freshly making them should solve that problem. Probably the second worst baklava I've had out here. I see why they make shakes though. Since they don't sell ans have leftover stock. We initially sat down to eat but it was so awkward that there's no music and so quiet. My husband said they don't vacuum between the chairs which were full of crumbs. We eventually got our food to go. The second issue is the food. We got a sucuk flatbread and ans egg pide. This is not a pide, it's just pizza bread. Cheese is mozzarella, should have been beyaz cheese. Middle eastern cuisine doesn't use this cheese. My egg was raw and just throw in a corner. Could have saved myself money by just getting domino's, at least my food would be cooked. If you want quality, try Balkan treat box, Aya Sofia or Garbanzo. I would also like to state that there is one employee that works front and back. I didn't see him washing his hands once going back into the kitchen to handle my food. Seems like there a big hygiene issue

My favorite lunch is the 5 cheese tomato basil pizza which has a unique flavor profile with delicious cheeses including smoked gouda - and fresh tomatoes. They also have the cutest baked goods - including many wrapped cookie sets that are seasonally decorated and gift ready. Service is great and the restaurant is counter service style.

Great for breakfast or lunch with friends, or for a quiet single table to get some work done during less busy times. (The lunch rush can get a bit crowded and you might feel like you are camping out.) Outdoor seating for nice weather days. I like to order the turkey spinach artichoke flatbread. The pizza is made with the same type of flatbread crust and it is also fresh and amazing! Several friendly staff taking orders at once so even a line that looks long moves fairly quickly. The baked goods are another reason to stop in. Amazing pumpkin bread! And while the cookies aren't my favorite- they are always soo pretty!

I did a lap first just to check everything out and upon walking around I noticed a build-your-own cupcake bar, space for an event, cookies and pastries galore, and pretzels!! The ladies behind the counter were incredibly kind and helpful, which really made a difference since it was my first time there. After finally making up my mind, I got a vanilla cake pop and a chocolate chip cookie. Prior to coming here, the only place I'd ever get cake pops was Starbucks. Clearly, that's going to change! The cake pop was baked to perfection and really hit the spot. The chocolate chip cookie was soft and wasn't overly sweet. It tasted homemade and was very pleasing to the palate. To sum up my experience, this is one of prettiest cake shops I've ever been to. Not to mention, they have something for everyone (vegan, gluten free, sugar free options), and they're budget friendly! I can't wait to come back and build my own cupcake next time!

I ordered the pink sugar, a strawberry cake slice (Valentine's day special), a brownie cookie, and a white cookie with funfetti. They were decorated beautifully and all tasted delicious!

They currently do not have an app or website to have your beverages made ahead of time but they mentioned it is something they are looking into. TLDR: Worth going to. Parking might be interesting.

They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.
