Everyday I stop here to get my coffee and maybe a little baked good. I love small businesses and it's so important to support them!

“But they have a tiny parking lot and are just two doors down from a crazy intersection with a lot of traffic and blind spots (it's on a hill) that I always bypassed this place due to it's location.”

I am so glad I found this place. It is a completely gluten-free space, which is always exciting to…read morefind, and they also have vegan options as well. I tried so many things, including the whoopie pie, cupcakes, cookies, and ravioli. The mushroom ravioli was my favorite of the ravioli options, but the blondie/brookie was top tier. Truly 10/10, no notes. The staff were really kind and helpful. They gave suggestions and guided us through the options, which I appreciated because there was so much to choose from. For anyone gluten-free, this place is such a gem. I would absolutely recommend stopping in and trying a little bit of everything.

I got a bunch of stuff as this place is about a 35 minute drive for me. My favorite was the strawberry lemon donut pictured. I unfortunately didn't get pictures of anything else. The donut was cakey and gooey and delicious. The cupcakes I got were also really good. I would skip the blueberry muffin next time. Not as memorable. Could maybe use a glaze or something. The cookie I got they recommended I didn't love either. A bit dry and cakey. Wasn't in the case just a pre packaged cookie. Enjoyed the brownie also. I think the stuff in the case is probably more fresh so I'd stick to those items. Would definitely come back for a donut and cupcake! Yum! Cute place. You can also call ahead and order stuff and they will put it in the refrigerator on the side for you. They had all kinds of things in there as they have lunch items too.

Good Jamaican fare, hard to find…read more Came here to give them a try. GPS routes you to the fountain, and there's not much signage indicating its location. For those wandering, go through the left-most entrance and take another left. The doors right there. Decoration is a bit sparse, it looks like a cafeteria that someone rented out. It's not the prettiest place, but there's a little charm. Was greeted by who I assume was the owner. He gave me a quick rundown of the restaurant and their operation. I tried to get him to recommend a true Jamaican breakfast dish, but he deferred to the menu and said they would use spices to bring the island vibe. I get their ja steak breakfast sandwich on their cocoa bread. Also get a hibiscus sorrel to try. Price was a little higher than anticipated, but not too bad. In terms of breakfast sandwich, it was okay. The coco bread was in a roll shape but was nice and soft. The sauce had a lot of kick, which was good because the bread helped dull the spice. The egg and cheese was standard, cooked correctly but basic. The steak was thin, but for 9 bucks I wasn't expecting too much. The sorrel is bitingly potent. Drinking it straight up is not recommended due to the overpoweringly strong ginger and hibiscus. It's very nice once diluted with water, but it's a very assertive flavor out of the bottle. For a bakery, their selection is very limited. Cocobread and a few cupcakes was all I could spy. I was hoping for rum cake, carrot cake, festivals, banana fritters, something more than a standard breakfast on the go place. But they do bake bread, so they are a bakery by definition. But because they are a Jamaican bakery I do need to compare them as such. As a bakery It's not bad, they are trying hard to be good but are in a very tough location to truly shine. They've done what they could to keep their business going, but in turn have edited themselves to be more generic. I would recommend that they make the best cocobread they can, then ditch the storefront and instead sell the bread wholesale to other restaurants. They get to focus on what they do best, they supply the other Jamaican restaurants with quality fresh bread. As it stands, it's an option for the area. Basic but functional, trying really hard to keep things afloat but not really embracing their cuisine. Try them if you want to support a local business, but temper expectations.

I popped in because the parking lot was mostly empty. It wasn't particularly busy in the cafe either. There were two small groups ahead of me in line. I order my food and black iced coffee to go. I received my food. It even had to be heated. And I had to wait 10 minutes for them to give me my black iced coffee. Even though there are only two or three people waiting in the drink area. And that was after I said something. So who knows how long it would have taken. This isn't because of lack of effort. The baristas were doing things. They're making lots of drinks. But it's not clear for whom. They finish the drinks and they don't call people's names. Maybe they're for to go orders? I understand that restaurants need to make choices about how they run things. All I can say is, that it's not a good experience to get all of your food and you have to wait for a black iced coffee (a drink that takes very minimal effort) for 10 minutes. Even though you're one of only a few people in the drink area. I'm not going to change my review score. But these experiences definitely affect how often I visit.
