Nice music playing in the background and the space is roomy enough for customers to work or sit back and relax, like me, enjoying their morning pick-me-up. I asked Joe about a drink I saw on their page. The Chill Bee is an Espresso Latte, with house made lavender and honey. Very good suggestion since I normally have those flavors with a matcha. Definitely will be back the next time I'm in town.

I reviewed that space already. It's super chill and has everything you need as far as drinks and such go :) We got there about 9am Saturday and didn't have to wait long for our drinks. I ordered the vanilla latte with oat milk and it was pretty great! Brewed to order like I like. Super flavorful and hot! The owner, Joe, is there making your order and he's so personable and nice! He even came around and let us choose an affirmation from a stack of cards he had. Loved this so much!!! It's so dope when businesses add an extra unexpected positive element to your experience! I'm sold! Love this spot and will be back often!

Food: A delightful lil' coffee shop with some nice drink options & a few baked goods. I typically am a (decaf) mocha girl; this time I got an iced mocha with cake batter flavor. Strange for me, but tasty. I appreciate that they offer a punchcard for we, the frequent users. My friend is there quite a bit- me, I admit nothing. Service: Great service, family-run- they can usually suggest something good even if it's not on the menu. They're fast, friendly, clean. Ambiance: This place is super clean. (Did I mention that already?) Currently they are doing renovations inside but I had to be told about it since there was no noise or mess. I only asked bc was curious why indoor seating (other than the bathroom!) wasn't available. It was outdoors seating & the weather's been perfect so it was a delight to sit on their wraparound porch or the back yard. Lovely flowers & ambiance. A few cute things to shop while you're there. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they got people in & out of there. One woman brought her little girl for a special whipped cream birthday drink- thought I saw a cherry on top but could have been wrong. She was so excited

The barista was welcoming. She was the only barista at the time I ordered; however, her partner was in line to order drinks (I assume she was on break). As the partner saw the line grow she jumped back in to help. We ordered the lavender haze latte and chai with vanilla. We ordered the 24oz which is automatically iced. Reading is fundamental because my husband wanted a hot drink and I wanted to surprise him with a large size which turned the drink iced (meh). Anyway, the flavors were there!!!!! The house made syrups were amazing as well. I deducted a star because my cup had way too much ice. Otherwise, I will return.

My first experience with the Crumbled Nut Bake Shop was today at the South End Farmers Market and…read moreit did NOT DISAPPOINT. I saw the list of vendors on the farmers market IG and knew I needed to stop by as a sucker for cookies. My mom and I each tried a cookies and cream and lemon sugar - we ended up getting 4 for $10 (almost got 3 but for one more dollar, why not 4? She convinced my quickly lol and she was very kind). They were both so good. The cookies and cream is always a favorite of mine and the lemon sugar had such a good mix of lemon and white chocolate. The ingredient list on each was simple and they weren't overly sugary; they had the perfect amount of sweetness and were soft and chewy. I'll definitely be back to try others. The Rocky Road sounded good as well but I'm not a fan of walnuts - if you're a walnut and chocolate fan, this might appeal to you. I look forward to trying cinnamon rolls in the future as I think they ran out by the time I got there. Either way, definitely recommend if you're in the mood for treats!

I don't like chocolate, so the two I tried were Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll and Blueberry Muffin Top. Both were phenomenal! I think I'd have to give my favorite to the Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll.

They all come individually sealed. You can find her at South End Market on Saturday's from 8am-1pm. Her flavors rotate so check her out on Instagram for info on current ones. I'll definitely be checking her out at a market soon to try some other flavors!
