    I come for a variety of items, sometimes it's coffee or a cinnamon role or a sandwich or a cold coffee drink. Every time I come I get excellent service! The store is in the Naomi and Warner store and fits great, the decor and just plain feel is perfect for whatever drink or food item you select.

    The ambiance is very nice for this small town. It's a little sweet treat inside this antique shop.

    Cute fundraising idea.

    This place is AWESOME. It's tucked inside a nice boutique and offers a surprisingly spacious area to relax or work while enjoying your coffee or food. My latte was great and I was impressed by the extensive menu for both food and coffee. I worked out at the hotel gym across the street and returned for a bite of breakfast (quiche). I traveling from out of town, but if I were a local -- this would be my "spot."

    This place has great coffee, but their sandwiches are great, too! I love the club or the turkey cheddar sandwich for lunch. The staff is super friendly, and all the food is made in house. On you way out, you can grab dinner from Naomi & Warner's freezer!

    A recent discovery searching for authentic espresso in Sumter, SC. This intimate coffee shop is a gem. You are in for a wonderful experience as the coffee shop is in the middle of two local shops specializing in local unique items. I have enjoyed the cortado and a flat white. Mom prefers the white chocolate mocha. The bittersweet reality is I would probably would not have varied from my routined Starbucks stop had they had not been closed for renovations. Life is good when you adapt.

    I don't drink coffee but I do love good food & appreciate good customer service & the atmosphere. This place has the absolute best blueberry muffin I've ever eaten, it is incredible. Rest of their stuff is great, too, but OMG that muffin!

    Seating area inside the antique store.

    This cute little cafe is inside an antique shop. The manager Jeff and the 2 ladies behind the cafe are the nicest people. They make their own syrups and sandwiches from scratch. The Fall coffee selection is on point. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Sumter. Quiet area to think and catch some nice soft upbeat Jazz music over the sound system. 5 stars.

    We made reservations and celebrated our daughter's 25th birthday on Saturday night. The music was…read morelively and I really enjoyed it with the dimmed lights. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and made sure our drinks stayed full. All the food we had was yummy and came out piping hot. My daughter ordered the Togarashi Crusted Carolina Grouper which she said was delicious. I had the Grilled Colorado Lamb Rack, which was also very tasty and my husband ordered the Calabrese pizza, which I tried and was very good too. We really enjoy this place and typically come for brunch on Sunday's and this was our first time having dinner there, we will return. Also not pictured, we had the calamari (8/10), artichoke dip (8.3/10) and bread basket (6.5/10). Only complaint, I hated sitting near the bathroom and I expected more lamb on my plate for the price but overall, I give everything an 8/10.

    We came for an early lunch and were the only customers. We were greeted by the staff and felt…read morewelcome. The restaurant was modern, clean well and very pleasant. We struggled with one of the chairs that was missing a glide and rocked terribly. The host just looked on. We ordered a chicken parmesan panini sandwich and the chicken green curry bowl. The chicken panini had potential. It included chicken, roasted tomatoes, ham, arugula and cheese. It would have been great but the grilled focaccia was a little tough to eat- chewy. It came with a side of House made chipotle chips that were very tasty. The chicken green curry was a pretty plate of food. It tasted great though the curry sauce could have been warmer. It was served with a mango coleslaw (more like a salsa) over coconut rice. It may have been the best tasting item that I've eaten in a restaurant in months.

    This could possibly be the worst Starbucks I've been to. While in town visiting family we stopped…read moreat this Starbucks which was in route to where we were headed. The customer service was friendly but the lady who took my order did not seem to know how to enter in the specifics of my drink, it took her a few times but she finally entered in all my customizations for my iced latte. My husband ordered a black coffee and that came out correct. When my order was ready it was not iced at all. I read the little sticker to see if the person at the counter forgot to add it but she had not. When I pointed out the drink was supposed to be iced the young lady immediately threw the drink in the trash and made a new one with ice which I'm almost sure lacked the extra shot of expresso that I had ordered. I get this same drink every time I go to Starbucks but this one did not taste like it was supposed to. I didn't have to time to complain so I left with my watered down latte. The next day before leaving town since I had a 5 hour drive ahead of me I stopped here again. This time I ordered online to ensure that the order was put in correctly. It was the same drink hot with 2 extra shots of expresso. Once again a badly made drink. They were not busy during either of my visits, not sure how both drinks lacked flavor but they did. The ambiance of this location was chill, with lots of seating available both inside and outside on the patio. Everything was clean including the bathroom. Great place to study. I wouldn't recommend this location for coffee. We did get breakfast sandwiches and they were good.

    Two stars for being overworked and underpaid. But the first time i went I got a drink that i have…read moreordered often at other locations and it just tasted like the oat milk in it. The second drink i got was a chai with an espresso shot and oat milk, and I couldn't taste the chai at all. mostly tastes like the oat milk again and espresso flavor. It's making me wonder if they are just not measuring the drinks out and overfilling it with milk.

    My wife and I pass Baker suites all the time. We thought we would try and try it out for breakfast…read more There are a few things of serious concern here. One is an interesting disclaimer on the top of their menus that indicates basically that however your meal is delivered is how you have to live with it. As an example, I ordered the breakfast salmon toast meal and I was very explicit that I wanted my toast Well done. The waitress assured me it will be well toasted. It was not. It was barely warm bread. Extremely disappointing. I brought it to their attention after eating half and requested a single slice of well-toasted bread. They came back and told me I'd have to buy a side order toast. That's probably enough to make us never go there again and never recommend it. It's a stupid policy that is going to lose customers. My wife ordered the egg stuffed avocado. Interesting concept that we'll do at home. However, here it failed. The avocado had very bad spots on the ends that were not cut off and it was supposed to come with tomatoes which were not included. And lettuce was wilting. The concepts of the meals were interesting but very poorly executed. And the corporate policy of not willing to make it right puts the pin in a very bad review from me who never puts in a review unless it's extremely good.

    Not worth your time for bad service and mediocre food. I tried Bakers Sweets twice within 6 months…read morejust to see if things are better but they seem to get worst. My first experience, I went for lunch. 5 different people with me so we had different entrees. All of the meals were BLAND. Taste like all the food was rushed and just warmed from a can. My shrimp and grits taste like grits with raw milk and shrimp randomly thrown in it...AWFUL. I was empty in the restaurant but the service was awful. We waited a long time 1 hour and the kid waiter got our order wrong. There are alot of teenage kids working there, and when you have kids as your staff you get kiddy bad service. Go somewhere else. 6 months later I tried again but just some pastries and sweets. The sweets taste again like a teenager made them, mushy, wet pastries lacking alot. I paid for a large coffee and it tasted like coffee beans with raw sugar. Yuck, I tried to politely tell the manager but he didn't respond he wanted me to pay for bad coffee and pastries even when I showed him the issue. My family, church and company don't go there any more. No response for this write up needed form this place because it would be fake. Go to the national competitor down the street. Good concept but bad management too!!
