The Sticky Bun Lattes were a great warm up for the opposing grey rain sky. Sweet hot caffeine, is there anything better?

Drinks and ice cream are also available, I ordered a Nutty Buddy fattie and it was warm and delicious! I did have 1/2 and saved some for the next day but I think it's best when it's warm (as all cookies are!). I would've loved it if they had more than three flavors to choose from since they also offer cookies by the dozen, and it would be more fun to have a bigger variety in your box, but regardless, what they do have to offer is yummy.

The inside is on the smaller side, but they do have an outdoor patio with some tables. They change out the cookies on a rotation, so new cookies are always popping up. We ordered the trio that included the cookies shown in the picture. There was an assembly line of bakers cooking up batch after batch of cookies behind the counter. There was a warmer that had boxes of cookies ready to go. The cookies were similar to Crumbl Cookie, but I feel these are a step above. That are a bit smaller than Crumbl, but I think they were better in consistency and taste. My daughter got the chocolate soft serve, but it wasn't the traditional milky soft serve. It wasn't bad, but wasn't incredible either. Stop in for a taste!

Everything I have ever had there is ok at best, and the prices are exorbitant. My experience is hit-or-miss with the service -- there is one woman who works there who is hostile and insulting, very weird. Other times, the counter staff is just inept (friendly is nice, but friendly and inept is not). They do things like pack savory items with bakery goods and more than once I have opened the bag to find a complete mess from an exploded donut or from icing all over the packaging of a sandwich. Speaking of sandwiches, the bread has been burned on my order more than once and the filling is so skimpy you can barely tell its there. I know we're all shocked at rising food costs but charging $11 for a small sandwich with barefy any filling is not fair. Other local shops are not fleecing customers this way. Do not recommend.

Just like being in Greece. I bought several different kinds of pastries and bread and all was terrific. We had bougatsa there along with frappes ( an icy coffee drink) and both were exceptional. If you need baklava or galatabouriko get it thre. Both of the woman, Georgia and Eva are very knowledgable. read more

The owner is a lovely woman from Cote d'Ivoire and France. If you have a few minutes to chat, she's got wonderful stories and insights in addition to excellent pastries. She's been trained in France and the US, and brings that international skill to her work, offering both the familiar options, but also more continental recipes if you want a flavor beyond the usual. The shop has a few tables, good coffee, and those lunch hand pies or savory croissants. There's street parking and some interesting shops in walking distance. Lynn itself is a historic colonial town that has grown up into an industrial and commercial town. Like most old towns, it has ups and downs, but it's always ready to roll up the sleeves and work. I hope you find some of the good things here, including the Ivory Pot!

And, well, I won't keep you in suspense but that first bite of the salted honey butter and jam biscuit was transcendental. It was a little crumbly but so chewy and moist, and the jam and honey butter combo was incredible. Indescribable. They have so many pastry options, as well as breakfast sandwiches, but I really had eyes only for the biscuits. Also tried the cheddar scallion biscuit - amazing. I'm running out of adjectives to describe how good these were. The key for super flaky, tender biscuits is using very, very cold butter and not mixing the dough too much. It was cool to watch people baking in the back kitchen. Got the quiche as well. Tasty, with a nice mix of egg and veggies and cheese, with a well-made crust, but next time I would just get more biscuits. Lots of free parking spots in front and nearby. There's little space inside the store, which makes the queue a bit unwieldy, but it does move quickly and it's well worth the wait (and the drive).
