I recently stopped by here for a few pastries: a huckleberry Danish, and a jalapeno bacon cream…read morecheese bread. The ambiance was like, the last shop left standing in a messy ghost town. Hastily decorated. Clean, but nowhere near sterile. The clerk seemed irritated that I walked in, like I was keeping her from something more important. So, I tried to order fast. I was a little peeved that I very clearly asked for a specific Danish, and she just kind of pretended not to hear me and very quickly threw a different Danish in the bag and gave me an irritated look and said, "Anything else?" Um... They were both huckleberry Danishes, but the one she gave me had like a third as much fruit as the one I specifically requested. Whatever. "You don't have any ham and jalapeno rolls or anything like that, do you?" "I'm sold out of that one, but I do have a bread filled with cream cheese and bacon and jalapenos." I took that. The jalapeno bacon cream cheese bread was amazing. The fillings were pretty standard, but the bread itself was phenomenal. Other reviewers have mentioned that the head chef is a classically trained pastry chef. It really showed in this bread. This bread was as good as the bread from my favorite bakeries in San Francisco. Top tier. I could probably eat a little loaf of it every day. It definitely would have been better heated up a little bit, since the cream cheese was all in a cold block on one side of the bread. But it was still really good. The Danish was decent. It definitely tasted very blueberry-y--- I'm not sure if I can tell the difference between regular blueberries vs huckleberries. Overall, it was about as good as a fresh store-bought Danish from Costco. It didn't necessarily taste home-made to me, but the website states that everything is made home-made and from scratch, so I guess it was. But it tasted kind of commercial. The total was around $9, which I thought was high considering the quality of the Danish and the amount of fillings. But prices are high in 2025... c'est la vie.

Nice surprise. Somehow we'd never noticed this bakery, but very glad we found it…read more Grabbed a donut, a raspberry turnover, and a cream cheese & jalapeño stuffed bread for breakfast. The cake donut was soft, fresh and not overly sweet...but the other 2 were the standouts. We loved the flavor and uniqueness of the bread. And the turnover was one of the best and flakiest I've probably ever had. Service was adequate and the place is tiny with a couple of tables inside. The black coffee was average, but glad they offered. Yummy pastries! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and wanting a tasty treat!

Had a great time eating here! The atmosphere was comfy and chill, perfect for catching up with friends or grabbing a quick meal after work. The staff were super friendly and made sure everything was just right. I tried the house salad and it was really tasty--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. Prices were reasonable and the portions definitely filled me up. Overall, the food, service, and vibe all made it easy to relax and enjoy myself. I'll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone nearby looking for a good bite. read more

Ask specifically at least three times that we wanted tomatoe slices on both sandwiches. Neither had tomatoes. More on this under service. Both, regular customer eaters, said "something is missing" as the sandwiches tasted "tastsless" from the past. The lettuce, mayo mixture seemed to have no mayo and no flavor. Positive: the fries were excellent and so was the lemonaid. Serivce: NONE Asked for a couple slices of tomato and was told I could only get that if I paid for a side dish! I was too blown away to even argue. If the server, with a bad attitude, could not spare two slices of tomato (even if I was wrong) to keep a life long customer (50 years) and a good review, then something is seriously going wrong with this business. No one ever came by our table and asked if we needed anything, boxes, drink refills, nothing. NO SERVICE Ambiance: everything we expected and we are pleased with it.

We chose three, including the margarita, three meat, and the special apricot margarita. The three meat was the best of the three, and the only one that had the appropriate amount of toppings in my opinion. The other two needed a smidge more. The chew was great, just the right amount of crispies and chew, but also still foldable as you would expect for a New York slice. My only criticism would be that it should've been heated up longer, (the gal put it in the oven for two minutes), and as stated about a bit more coverage on the toppings. We will definitely go back, but next time we will try a fresh made pie and see how that stacks up against the slices.
