Two enterprising young women are owners of this gem of a popular West Bench neighborhood gathering…read morespot that they created in what was an old dump of a 1950's era strip mall space and funded in part with crowd sourcing. Being curious since they opened this in Fall'ish 2024 and finding myself in the neighborhood, this was a destination stop for my husband and me when we went in about 11:30 on a weekday for coffee and a nosh. Pride of ownership shines in the clean and funky feeling interior and it is clearly popular because it was full, almost every seat, of people that seemed from the neighborhood, including a number of parents with young children. They advertise this as coffee and market, but I honestly didn't notice the market part, in that things for sale didn't jump out at me. That may have been because I was just trying to navigate to a seat in and out in the crowded space. THE MO: Coffee and the limited menu for food is ordered at the counter, carry to your seat and bus your own when finished. Although we were the only people at the counter and there were two people in the kitchen, it took quite some time for someone to come to take the order, although once someone finally saw us, they were pleasant, if not welcoming, in taking the coffee order and then again when my hubby went back to order pastries to go with it. MENU: Coffee, other beverages and a very small option of eats is listed behind the counter and on a paper menu there. Options included soup of the day and Gaston's bakery pastries. There were some breakfast sandwiches by local provider Poppyseed Bakery in the fridge section, we weren't told about them but seeing them when passing by the fridge on a trip to the loo, asked if they could be heated and were told they could be. We chose a couple of pastries ($5.50 each) and were reminded why we seldom buy Gaston's products for being too buttery and one note. The cortado ($4) were good. I noticed a woman at the table across from us who was sipping a beverage and eating what looked like a sandwich she had carried in. I don't know if that is part of allowable stuff or not. The pottery used for all of their coffee service, ours and the mugs at other tables, is great. AMBIANCE: They did an admirable job here of making this light and bright and just funky enough with pride of ownership and loving care in maintenance sparkling through. Seating includes a few level in, not step up, booths along one wall, a sofa and chairs near the front and many standard height tables and chairs (maybe too many when all full as getting to seat is tough) and a play area for kids in the corner. It had far less comfortable 'breathing room' space than I anticipated from photos. But I didn't take interior photos to post because I think it is rude to do that when lots of people are going to be in them who maybe don't want to be. ;-) LOO: There are two and both are uni and sparkling clean with great murals on the wall and good plumbing fixtures. My husband even pointed out the "cool" sink. Both are ADA compliant so kudos to them for that. (Yes, it is law and code but you'd be astounded by how many ignore both.) ACCESSIBILITY: One ADA parking spot right outside the door. (There are too few spots for the parking lot but that is not the coffee shop owners' failure. That is the lot owner's issue.) Level in the door. All on one floor. The tables would probably work for a wheelchair user to roll under. But it would be near impossible, based on my experience yesterday (I have had multiple sclerosis since age 20 and sometimes use a wheelchair) for a wheelchair user to get between tables and chairs for a clear path of travel to get to seating or the loo.

After experiencing wildly successful popularity last year for their Friday lunches, owner Rita…read moreSturiale closed the cafe portion of this gift shop - café in roughly December to regroup. So it was delightful when The Sturiale Place reopened last month (May 2018) as warm and wonderful as ever for ambiance in the lovingly restored old house, hospitality, service and food. With a revised and bit expanded menu and a new young Chef in the kitchen, formerly Executive Chef at a Portland area McMenamins, this was a unique little gem before and the changes have polished it even brighter. Our first lunch after re-opening was as delightful as the others we enjoyed here last year (see my previous review for details). This time we enjoyed being able to try new menu items like green salad with Delicata squash and herbed goat cheese (half order $7.50), house made pappardelle with braised lamb Bolognese ($18) and mushroom Marsala on polenta ($13). As a great new surprise on the wine menu, manager Gina Sturiale (daughter of Rita) has added a really good white and red wine by the glass, like the nice Negroamaro my husband enjoyed, for as little as $5! The menu spans options from soup through appetizers and starter or main course sized salads through entrees to desserts. Prices range from $6 to $18. Total inside seating is limited to maybe 16 and maybe about that many on an outside deck. So this is not a place for big groups. It is likely not a kids' destination either. As added treat they are now open on Thursday and Friday from 11 to 2 for lunch. And now reservations can be made via Open Table.

It was surprisingly good, though I've never had a quail egg before, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Our entrées were the highlight of the night. These were two of the best steaks we've ever had, and trust me, we've been to many steakhouses all over. The USDA Gold filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and the Chairman's Reserve cowboy-cut ribeye was phenomenal. Both desserts were good, but I preferred the carrot cake over the cheesecake.

There are multiple servers, aside from your main one, who come to check up on you, grab any finished plates, etc. My server Jordan (who btw is absolutely phenomenal, he deserves all the recognition possible) stopped by my table while my boyfriend was in the restroom and grabbed his napkin to fold it for him to return back to. It's the little things that make this place great! They offer valet parking, which is free but you can tip, and your server will take your ticket for you and call the driver so your car is ready when you step out. Yes! I love Chandlers.

The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn't particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn't get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don't know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it's only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.

So we ended yesterday's Caldwell "buy local" excursion by returning to Bluebird Confections to find the "ahhh"-roma as we walked in of in house made caramel, individually wrapped and also chocolate covered, in various flavor combinations. They also make truffles and chocolate dipped marshmallow pop and everything is made on site. The hand wrapped caramels are sold in bags (of a dozen $10) or individually and come in multiple flavors and combinations. Wrapped caramels have little samples to try to help you decide if you're torn among all the many options. A bag of bourbon-pecan caramels came home with us to pass along to our originally from Kentucky next door neighbor along with some of the cutely decorated marshmallow pops ($1.75) for the children. We bought a bag of beer-pretzel caramels for ourselves along with a couple of truffles (cherry and huckleberry). Truffles and the chocolate covered caramels can be purchased individually or in clear gift worthy small boxes. Some of the truffle and caramel flavors are all year long offerings (like sea salt) and some are seasonal offerings, like the huckleberry available in this season. Local ingredients are used in making these confections and you can taste the quality. Because caramels are fresh made there is a "best by" date on the bottom of each bag and the owner shared with us if one doesn't want to eat them prior to that (the date on ours was about a month out) that they store indefinitely in the freezer. (But, "hahahahaha" we said, they will not make it a full week at our house. Still, frozen caramels sound delicious!) SERVICE: The owner helped us make our selections and answered our questions about the business and her splendid service is part of what made shopping here a sweet experience. LOCATION: Blaine Street is near downtown Caldwell and was once upon a time a street of residences so businesses here were once old houses. If you recognize the Bluebird Confections house as onceuponatime location of The Sweetspot Bakery your memory would be right on that. (That bakery moved into more commercial space a few blocks away.) PARKING: Blaine is a one way street now pretty busy access way to downtown and it has no on street parking. But there is a driveway alongside Bluebird that leads to a small lot behind the building and a paved walkway at the side leading to the front entrance. ACCESSIBILITY: Two ADA spots in the back lot (sadly, one of them seems occupied by a vehicle without ADA placard or plate by someone who works at the pet salon next door). Accessible path to the front door includes a ramp up so all people who want to shop for splendid confections can do that. LOO: None so plan accordingly. PS: They take special orders and with fall and winter holidays straight ahead, a good time to consider adding these to your gift list! SURPRISE!: They have licorice caramels in their line up and while I didn't buy any this time, a bag of those will come home with us next time we're in. If you haven't tried licorice caramels before they are a bees-knees combination!
