It was not too sweet, which made for easy eating after a big dinner. The cake was moist and the frosting/icing was light and airy. I am not sure how they managed to create so many levels of flavor in one Yule log cake, but they did. I also want to add that my mom called and left a message about ordering this cake and her call was returned quickly after. Great experience at Give Thanks and we can't wait to try more yummy things!

I don't always drink tea, but when I do, you bet it's only loose leaf! I wish I'd known about this…read moreplace sooner because it's not only close to home, but absolutely fabulous. I found them a few weeks ago when I did a search of stores who actually sell loose leaf tea. The reason I like loose leaf tea versus the garbage sold in the stores is because it comes out way more flavorful, stronger and seems to taste a lot better than the stuff they sell at the grocery. I am also shocked that nobody else has been here before, as I know a few tea drinker who also happen to be active yelpers. Interesting. Anyway, the place is easy to find and right off fourth street and visible from the road. There is street parking, but a parking garage is literally right there on the other side of the street if you need it. As you know, downtown Rochester can get busy at times, so easy places to park is important. Walking in, not only is this place a tea store, but it also sells spices. They also have a ton of cool accessories to choose from throughout, which was really super cool to look at. I've also been on the hunt for the individual honey sticks that seem to be hard to find. Not only do they have the honey sticks, but they came in a variety of flavors? Like flavored honey? Exciting! I just grabbed a packet of regular honey sticks which are sitting in my kitchen now. The spice area has a much larger selection of items, from different varieties of salt, but other seasonings as well. I didn't really study the selection as the place was busy but let me tell you, there's a lot! I went to the tea section and they have all sorts of teas to choose from. I wanted something more citrus/lemon/herbal since I have a sinus infection, but I also wanted to see what else they have. Great selection, pre bagged but make sure you have the steeper's at home. If not, they sell them here too. Service was great, and the staff was knowledgeable. Nobody asked me if I needed help or followed me around the store, but when I did talk to them at check out, these people really seem to be tea oriented and educated on the product. While they aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination (more along the lines of Starbucks pricing) they are worth every penny. I will be back in the future and I wish they did a better job of advertising!

I chose busiest day to visit this place on mother's day…read more They dont take reservation and wait time was for 2 hours. They have no online queue watch or sms service to let you know when you are 1st in queue. Although i was standing right there outside and they were calling names coming out, somehow for my turn they dis not and mentioned I should have waited inside. Although this wait period and last minite confusion was disappointing but once we were seated, they served well, food was amzing too. I ordered fresh cucumber, celery juice, quesidilla, and coconut cream pancake. Everything was good and appropriate portion which I could finish all. Love the vibe.

Location is very nice, good thing is that they have a parking lot so we didn't have to struggle for parking. Between the 4 of us we ordered 5 entree and coffees and were able to finish most. Portion sizes are optimal, not tooo huge but definitely not less. Service was great too. Ambience felt like dining at home for a bit, not too fancy which we don't mind. Prices are appropriate, our entire bill was 105$ including tip. I see there is one in Troy by the same franchise, I will try that since that one is in walking distance..

Coffee was endlessly refilled as well. No real maple syrup or natural jam available (smuckers and log cabin are both high fructose), however, the blackberry compote replaced both options for bread and French toast with excellent natural flavor and crunchy blackberry seeds.
