Taste the east sando was nice but I wish the yolk was runner and the sauce a tad less sweet. The highlight of the sandwich was the arugula, very flavorful and not bitter. The best item on the menu was the Maple biscuit. It is a revelation. The crispy, buttery biscuit with maple butter and jam on top was so satisfying. The jam was so delicious. Even after we finished the biscuit, I packed the butter and the jam to go because I couldn't bear to waste any of it. Last but not least, the coffee tastes quite delicious black, and you can tell a lot about an establishment by their high-quality coffee. A great place to wake up to in the morning.

Probably the best cake I've ever had. Ever. A must try! My best friend served the crème brûlée cake at her wedding a few years ago and guests from out of the area still talk about it. The cinnamon rolls are also unique and out of this world. They look kind of dry compared to classic soft cinnamon rolls but I tried one because a lot of reviewers recommended them and they were incredible and not dry at all. They must use a laminated dough instead of a regular enriched yeasted dough so you get sweet cinnamon flavor in every flakey buttery bite.

Perfectly pleased with this place, but the competition is fierce and some folks are setting the bar very high.
