Have been to pick up baked goodies and to a Yelp event they catered this summer. Went for lunch…read moretoday and it was amazing. Wish I could give more than five stars as the food and flavors reminded me of France or food by Ina Garten. The Grilled Ham and Gruyère Cheese Sandwich on a crispy crunchy Sourdough bread was delicious. Waitress brought over some Dijon Aioli which really took this sandwich to the next level. The side salad was a meal in and of itself. Loved the dressing that came with it. The classic Turkey was no slouch either. Ingredients were fresh with just the right amount of meat and complementary ingredients. Looking forward to coming back again and trying other menu items. So many items on the menu I would love to try that makes another visit a must. This quaint cafe is a great place to come for brunch or lunch. Staff were warm and friendly too. And of course we left with some yummy bake goods for later and a bag of homemade marshmallows for Hot Cocoa. Definitely a must visit Bakery and Cafe.

My dad's is the half moon, or black and white as we call it. Huge and fluffy. I had the apple lattice pastry, not sure on real name. But it was light and flaky. Just enough apple and sauce.

Another little tip, if you go right as they close, they will give you a ton of free or discounted treats.

We ordered the chocolate, blueberry, and plain glazed donut holes. I enjoyed all of them equally. Although, I will have to agree the blueberry glaze was the best, haha. Another cousin felt the chocolate was a delight. Then another enjoyed the plain glaze. All the donut holes were fluffy, moist, buttery, and had so much flavor. The coffee was not bad, then again, the coffee was not for me. The coffee was my aunt's go-to. She loved her regular go-to coffee order. You probably could find or customize a coffee to your liking. Overall, my family and I were all satisfied.
