PIES
Banana Cream Pie -
This was everything a banana cream pie should be! Loved the big chunks of banana. The custard and whipped cream was creamy and delicious. Flaky pie crust. Not overly sweet either. Delicious from beginning to end! If you're craving banana cream pie, this one will hit the spot!
Chocolate Chess Pie -
As fudgy as it was, it was not a rich chocolate flavor that is expected from a chocolate pie. It is sweet, but the chocolate flavor did not come through. The whipped cream on top was fluffy and creamy. Texture-wise the pie was fuuuudgy. But the chocolate flavor was held back. The chocolate graham cracker crust was slightly salty, which was supposed to enhance the chocolate, but I felt it muted the chocolate flavor. So when you eat everything together, it is a salty chocolate pie. Wanted to love it, but it was a disappointment.
Key Lime Pie -
Has a nice, tangy, sharp tartness. The graham cracker crust was thin, which brought more attention to the key lime custard and whipped cream on top. This pie delivered.
Apple Cream Cheese Crumble -
Reheated in the toaster oven. The flavor overall was sweet and light. Not heavy on the spices. It was much lighter in sweetness and spices than most apple pies I've had. The apple had a light tartness and the apples were not soggy, but they were tender yet had a bit of a bite. Apples were all cut up rustic and cut up bigger than expected, but there were a lot of apples in there! The crumble on top was crispy and buttery. However, the pie crust on the bottom was soggy. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great.
CAPPUCCINO
It wasn't horrible, but I always wish specialty shops like this could make a good cup of coffee. The coffee beans were not bitter nor burnt, which I appreciated, but it wasn't smooth. The milk foam on top wasn't bad. Not the best cappuccino I've had, but it wasn't the worst. Somewhere in the middle.
POMEGRANATE LAVENDER
Housemade soda. Perfect amount of sweetness. You can mainly taste the pomegranate over the lavender. Very small hint of lavender in it. Good carbonated drink. Overall enjoyed it.
COOKIES
All the cookies were very thin, soft, chewy cookies. The outer edges of the cookie were crunchy.
Peanut Butter Cookie -
This had a straight forward peanut butter flavor. Yet it was still lighter and less creamier than other peanut butter cookies I've had. The texture is craggly. Not the most pleasant texture.
Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookie -
Lots of butterscotch chocolate chips which coated my whole mouth and it continually tasted sweet. It's a sweet cookie. If it was less sweet, I think I would have enjoyed it a bit more.
Lemon Lavender Sugar Cookie -
Less lemon flavor, lavender flavor is more prominent in this cookie. I barely remember the lemon flavor. This was a very forgettable cookie except that the lavender brought on a weird flavor that did not complement this cookie. It seems to do the opposite of making a good cookie. Weirdly enough, I liked the texture of the cookie, since it was a sugar cookie.
Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie -
You get some fall spices from the cookie lingering in the background. The pecan and choc chips add texture, crunch and sweetness. This was also a sweet cookie, but not as sweet as the Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Out of all the cookies, Peanut Butter was the better of them all. However, none of them were really good. For $4 each, all four of the cookies purchased were a waste of money. They might as well been supermarket bakery cookies and even then, I've had better from supermarket bakery cookies! I would not recommend their cookies.
Sadly, docking off stars because of the cookies and some of the pies.
If you don't see a pie flavor that you want in the display case, ask them if they have it. They might have it in the back and have yet to bring them out to the front.
AMBIANCE / SEATS / BATHROOM
Love the space! The ambiance was bright, cozy and peaceful. It gave neighborhood bakery vibes, yet the decoration was airy, light and whimiscal. A very inviting shop. There were both indoor and outdoor seats. One communal table and bench seats, A few tables of two and a few tables for 4. Outdoor seats were tables for 2. Ate indoors and it was a cozy space and there was minimal noise. Do not know if they have free WiFi, but it's a good space to work there. One unisex bathroom available in the back.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
It was good. It wasn't exceptional, but decent. The main person taking my order wasn't the friendliest, smiling person, but she didn't give any attitude. But she simply did her job.
PARKING
Street parking or neighborhood parking available. But please be mindful of all the parking signs when you do park! Parked at the closest neighborhood parking near Fat+Flour on Atlantic Ave and Washington Blvd. There is street parking directly in front of the shop too. read more
