We went with a few donuts, a couple bagels, and iced lattes. All were delicious! Apparently this building is an old general store for the city of Willoughby. They did a great job of making this a business for the modern century while still keeping a lot of the historical aspects. While I didn't get a chance to go upstairs because it was reserved, the signs said you can rent the second story for parties, showers, etc. I imagine it would be just as charming as the first floor.

We made sure to get some bagels and donuts to go, they were spectacular. This is a must stop!

Anyway, the brownie house made at Arabica is fantastic. Soft and chewy, fudgy, delicious. The cookie was hard and lacked in flavor and was overall just bad for a chocolate chip.

We stopped in for a mid-morning coffee and sweet treat and we're loving the ambiance of the space. They have a variety of seating options and some cool decor alongside bags of coffee beans and various bottles of syrup for sale. I ordered a plain black iced coffee and had a hard time deciding on a sweet treat, but ultimately went with the Reese's cookie. The coffee was smooth and had no bitterness at all. I had high hopes for the cookie because it was stunning looking, but unfortunately it was very dry. If you're into that kind of cookie, definitely grab one. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying one of the many flavors of muffins they have available in the case. Our cashier was friendly and helpful in choosing flavors. Our barista had our coffees out very quickly, which we appreciated. Would certainly recommend stopping in.

When I walked in could see in the face of the person I was not who they wanted to serve (not sure if it was race (I rarely play race so don't at me) or just an ignorant person); however, I could tell I was not desired. I thought even if customer service is bad the food might make up for it, but not so unfortunately. I got the Corned beef sandwich and it tasted like it was dipped in toilet water. I never got through the first bite before spitting it out and throwing it in the trash. Sadly I will never return.

Macaroon type mini cookies were incredibly hard to chew and had a very strange not coconut macaroon traditional type flavor and were inedible. Cruller was not dry or rubbery but otherwise unremarkable. Blueberry cake donut was moist but the blueberry flavor was artificial and strange. Sour cream donut was actually moist and had the right flavor. The cronut wasn't bad at all! Flaky without any off flavors. Chocolate cake donut wasn't bad tasting thank god but was sadly dry. They're very affordable here. It's just super duper hit or miss as far as what you get.

There was a cute sign that says "down home bakery" which made me feel so cozy and warm. The majority of the pastries are $1.75 each, which obviously feels like a steal this day and age. I tried a glazed croissant and some type of turnover. The croissant was delicious. Soft, flaky, and sweet, I also got one of their popular pizza bagels. It's kind of a loose term "bagel" more like a round ball of bread, with marinara sauce and cheese on top. It was very tasty and fulfilled a savory tooth in the morning. There was one sweet woman working the counter and I think there is another baker. Of course the place could use some upgrades, but it's always nice to step inside a great spot that's been in the neighborhood for a long time and is still standing because they offer a great product.

I came to try a pizza bagel which I learned they recently stopped serving because the health inspector said they needed to be in a cooler, which this place does not have. In the brief time that I was there, several people came in for these also and were disappointed to hear the news. I ended up getting a cinnamon roll, nut roll, and brownie. The cinnamon roll was delish. I gave the other two to friends and they enjoyed them. Service was okay. The woman was slightly impatient as I asked questions. She answered them, but seemed a little annoyed. I just wasn't as familiar with the items because it seemed like there were all variations of the same things maybe with different nuts. Their shelves weren't super full by the time I got there and I am curious to try other items from them. I see that they sell cookies and pastries at a local grocery store chain, Marc's. Also appreciated that they took tap to pay, which is uncommon in such an old school place. Just gotta spend over $5.
