Their 16 ounce coffee was $10, $10! Here I got my delicious cold brew and a bagel and paid $8. Thank you, captain, quack for not raising your prices ridiculously with the inflation of everything. As always, my day has turned around thanks to Captain quacks! I love this place so very much. My go-to is usually their vegan chocolate muffin. It is insanely delicious and I'm not even a vegan, but it's double chocolate so of course I had to try it. The ambience here is an absolutely awesome vibe I always feel comfortable here with the right blend of people, and the awesome people who work here. This is not some stuck up bougie cafe, it's relaxed and it offers a variety of events at night too! I'm a capt quacks girl for life (so long as I don't have to pay $10 for cold brew!) hehe

Wow, that was a bold claim! I finally got the opportunity to try ThoroughBread cookies and they were quite yummy. These cookies are like no other cookies I have eaten. I got the chocolate chip cookies with pecans. They had the texture of gingerbread cookies and were huge. They were gooey in the middle, perfectly crisp on the outside, and rich without being eye-squinting sweet. The chocolate chip cookies had welcoming textures and flavors. In addition, my server was kind and patient as I made my selection. You could taste the quality of ingredients, and each mouthful was progressively delicious. Definitely try Thoroughbread cookies for yourself. You're in for a treat.

We ordered the assorted Happy Birthday Cupcakes in both vanilla and chocolate. Every flavor was delicious, but the confetti cupcake was my personal favorite--light, fun, and perfectly sweet.

Overall, a great first experience - nd I'd definitely go back for another celebration dessert!

My kids are prolific frosting eaters. They never really eat the cake- and they're big fans. We get the minis and they enjoy looking in the case and picking their own. I did take one star off because my kids and friends kid were being typical toddlers. They were in a silly post-swim class mood and were giggling and dancing around as we ordered. The staff seemed overwhelmed and I started to feel rushed. I had basic requests, "put one vanilla cupcake in a separate bag as it's a gift. Make the rest to go" etc. I was sort of made to feel like we were too much. Kids aren't for everyone- trust me I know they are overstimulating. But this shop is a delight to their little eyes, please don't make them feel unwelcome.

I got the Rose, grapefruit, lavender, Earl Gary, Orange Heaven and lemon. Each macaron I could vividly taste the flavor they were going for. They were all good, but my favorite were the grapefruit and lemon. The macarons felt a bit too sweet and are pricey, hence removing one star. There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood near by and the ambience is very small cute place. Girl at the front was kind. Definitely check this place out for macarons! Will be back for their pastries!

I started out with a Franzbrötchen, a German style cinnamon roll, and a cortado. Both were a great start while waiting for one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a while. The sandwich I chose comes with bacon, beer cheese, fluffy eggs, and Russian dressing on a beautifully toasted Bavarian croissant. I also had to try a side of their duck fat potatoes, fried golden brown with smoked duck fat, whipped confit garlic butter, and fresh thyme. This was an excellent meal with great service, and I would highly recommend checking them out if you're ever in the area.

The apple fritters are as big as a man's head. I love the double chocolate ones. Never tried the maple bacon. They have coffee and beverages and breakfast tacos, but I think the breakfast tacos taste a little sweet, like they got a little bit of powdered sugar on them just because they are made in a donut shop. This is not a criticism, just an observation. KC Donuts was damaged by a fire in October 2024 but I am anxiously waiting for them to reopen! No other donut will do.
