Place your order at the counter and wait outside for your name to be called overhead. There are so many sandwich options and baked goods - i came for a sandwich. I had the saint joseph sub - which came with all the meats and provolone and oiled. It was simple, classic, and delicious. I do wish I would have chose a sub with more vegetables but thats on me. For something done so simply, its done very well. I also appreciated the prices - a roll being $10 and a sub being $12 regardless the filling is very unheard of in Mass!

They also made a delicious breakfast for our whole wedding party the morning of the wedding and delivered to the hotel. One year later, they pulled off a last minute anniversary cake with one of the same flavors they used for our wedding cake - vanilla cake with lemon custard, fresh whole blueberries and cream cheese frosting. The whole team is professional and a joy to work with. Also can't beat the atmosphere, an inviting seating area with fireplace to warm up with a cup of tea or coffee. Can't recommend this place enough!

Their cinnamon roll has some of the best cream cheese frosting I have tried. The dough is light and airy and the cinnamon isn't overpowering, which works out to be a good thing.

Let me say that the biscuit itself was 5/5. It was crispy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside and it was massive. The biscuit was definitely the star of the show. We got the breakfast sandwich which had egg, cheese and arugula but I found it to be lacking in flavor overall. I think next times I'd prefer a plain biscuit or to order one with just jam and butter instead of the sandwich.
