I met a friend here for a late lunch and instantly fell in love. The space is sleek, clean and decorated with local art. The display case is magnificent. I wanted one of everything. The menu had several options for my GF needs. We got pastries, a sandwich and hot tea. We were pleased with the quality of the food. The staff was helpful and attentive. There was a steady stream of customers... one ordered three times while working at a table nearby.

Great spot for the space. Not a lot of seating, coffee came out fast and hot. Pretty standard latte, not amazing not bad. Food is NOT vegan friendly. Did have alternative milk options

Signage

Good food, great coffee, somewhat uppity servers. Chill ambiance but fairly few seats make it a challenge to meet with someone, depending on the time of day. When I went, a Monday @ 3:00, there were no indoor seats and no indoor music- like buying a coffee in a (nice) library. I'll be back, for sure; maybe there'll be seating indoors

Pastry case

So, out and about today checking Lawrence out, since I never truly have visited the area before, and found this little gem. I purchased a few treats, including tiramisu, which looked amazing. I also bought some canelés since I had seen a picture on Yelp, and they looked delicious. I will try to leave a review of these delectable sweets after I have tried them. The coffee shop part was a bit smaller than I saw images of. The seating area has distinguishment appearance, but with hard wood seats appears its only a temporary spot. There are no outlets for laptop charging, so this is mostly ideal to meet and great someone. I liked the vibe of the place. It had a creative high-end art school vibe. The service was very good, as the people here were very attentive (including some customers that were near by, who raved about this place, duly noted) an d the suggestions were a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. Yes, the tiramisu was excellent. The moistest tiramisu I've ever had. The Canales, however, were okay. They simply tasted like pudding bread.

Stopped in for lunch today. Had the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich combo. So good. The soup had just a hint of zip; nice on a blustery day. The sandwich was made with several different cheeses, a blackberry jam, on artisan bread. Yes! This intimate joint is popular and special

Babka, cream cheese cinnamon roll, earl grey financier, and canele
Dannah S.

Delicious baked goods, not the biggest selection but everything I tried was so good and high quality. Nothing was a disappointment. I had a za'tar bagel with cream cheese and it had a good chewiness to it. Babka is really nice and not too sweet, perfect to pair with a cup of coffee. Definitely try the caneles and financiers, they are like nothing else.

Peach tart and vegan chocolate chip cookie
Amber C.

Ah-amazing! The friendliest staff, best pastries and delicious coffee. Get the tart, any flavor, they are always exceptional!

Chocolate babka bun
Scott M.

I went here at about 1pm on a Sunday with my son. Super cute, cozy interior. We split the following items: Georgian honey cake, Za'atar Bagel (with cream cheese), and a chocolate Babka bun. Everything was great AND not too sugary (a problem with most cafe's). The Za'atar bagel was the star of the show: it's unique, savory flavors made it easily the best bagel I've ever had. I will definitely go back.

Chocolate Bible, 1/2 Canele, pretzels and chocolate chip cookie.

Amazing Bakery. Everything is extremely good. Have not dined there yet because I had no idea they served breakfast and lunch but can't wait to try it since the baked goods are so good. High Rec

Lattes
Katie C.

Really good food- I have the fried egg sanwhich and while it was basic with little or no extra toppings, the sauce and cheese was very good.

First of all, in a post COVID time, it is hard to find a place that is 24/7. If any place needs to…read moremake it, it's a donut shop. The creme cheese donuts are something a newcomer should try. The cinn rolls including the minis were flavorful and soft. Even if you are always fighting for the gooey soft middle, the minis will meet you there. My kids like the strawberry twist and topped cinn. rolls. Skip the crossaint as it was flat. The pecan filled one isn't half bad. I would stick with the twists. I came around 1030 on a Sunday. They had prompt service. I like a place that has wifi. One thing I overheard was that they were already out of chocolate milk. Kind of sad for a place that could cater to lots of little kids. Nevertheless, there are mini rushes where the lines goes 8 deep out of the blue.

Well, I really wanted some cookies. I started out going to Hot Box, but unfortunately they were…read moreclosed. So I looked up bakeries in the area and this one said it was open 24 seven so put it in my GPS and there I went. It was about 7pm. When I arrived. I was so disappointed because of the lack of selection in the display cases. The only things that looked edible were mini cupcakes and a cake. There was also the lack of greeting from the one dude, who looked like he didn't want to be there, behind the counter. There were two other parties that came in front of me and I didn't see him greet them either. AnyWho, there was not anything that looked good or fresh in the display cases, I asked him if this was all they had and he simply replied, Yes, they bake in the morning. Why is it open 24/7 when they only bake in the morning? I don't know if the others purchased anything, but I left empty handed. I refuse to pay for old cookies and pastries.

The staff are friendly, efficient, and well versed in their products. Some of the furniture could use a refresh (some of the upholstered chairs are looking worn) but overall the decor is pleasant and the entire facility is clean, clean, clean! I often order a hot tea with a savory pastry, but if you're looking for something special, the Mont Blanc pastry and the pistachio matcha latte are very popular. On one recent visit, my friend ordered the apricot pastry, and I got an ube donut and a mushroom tart. So good! The cream under the apricot was so light and fluffy. The combination of long open hours, friendly staff, and very fresh pastries makes this shop an essential spot in west Lawrence.

Not sure if this is a fair review because I didn't actually go to the restaurant. I can't tell you…read moreif it was clean if their selection was great or their prices because my niece bought me a couple of donuts after hearing me say I would like a cookie or a doughnut and the Hotbox in Lawrence was no longer open. I gave the twist a three average because that's how they tasted. They weren't glazed twist, they were baked and sprinkled with sugar and maybe some cinnamon. They weren't "the donut" I was used to. They weren't too sweet, which was good, but they really didn't taste like a doughnut it was more like sweet bread.

This place BLEW ME AWAY. I tried the lemon custard croissants, cherry danishes, and salted chocolate chip cookies. Everything was so buttery, flaky, salty, sweet!! The perfect mix. Their delicate laminated pastries are as good as anything I've ever tried and even as good as the little shop in Paris that has been the object of my affections since I visited many, many years ago. There's really no seating, it's a tiny space with some chair rails so don't go expecting a sit down experience. But do go expecting to taste the best pastries you've ever had! (Oh small side note, bathroom was pristine and so nice!) Apple Maps doesn't take you to the right location but google maps does.

Loved it didn't contain nuts since I was serving to guests and wasn't aware of any allergies. Was a little disappointed with the hot cross buns. They tasted amazing and were a hit, but the traditional cross on top wasn't present. Also was baked in a round container instead of the advertised and traditional rectangle. Staff was so nice from the ordering, payment and pick up. Pick up was at the sisters store Taylor's donuts which tempted me with the apple fritters and amazing smells.

We were standing in front of the bakery at 10:55am on a Friday morning; lights off, and seemingly…read moreno one present. We began to make other brunch plans... when the woman who would waitress out table arrived. She was let in at 11:00, and we were notified by the man inside that yes- they were opening, if we could just give them a minute. Presently, we were welcomed into a quiet and empty dining area, and asked to choose anywhere to sit. My mom-in-law, a native Mexican, began quickly to ask for coffee (neon sign in window was advertising, but it was nowhere on the menu); the waitress went directly to see if any was available. She returned with a large cup of coffee, a bowl of creamers & sugars, and waters for everyone. What began as sort of an iffy experience became one of my best dining experiences in Lawrence in the past few years. The menu is extensive (some of us ordered breakfast, others ordered lunch); all five of us enjoyed what we'd ordered- breakfast burrito, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles with chorizo, 3 styles enchiladas with cheese sauce, and 3 tacos. The service was prompt and cheerful, the food was fresh and the prices were much lower that you might expect. We ordered 5 churros in different filling flavors, and all were FRESH & hot. We had difficulty discerning flavors but as I'd rather have plain churros, I was very happy; so happy, in fact, that I forgot to take pics until my last bite of churro! My husband was very satisfied with the authenticity of the food and even my mom-in-law (who herself caters Mexican food for private parties), said she'd love to return! So, I guess when you visit Angeles Panaderia, look for me; I'll probably be there!

Great food & service. Horchata, queso, quesabirria tacos. I'll be back. Love a hole in the wall…read moreMexican joint.
