The lattes were pretty standard and the pastries were a bit disappointing. The flavor profile of the focaccia was odd - corn, tomato, and spicy mayo. The croissant was extremely flavored but lacked a butter flavor. The service was quick and plenty of seating. Many small tables would be preferred to the long almost banquet table options.

I recently ordered a few à la carte items from King Arthur Baking's holiday menu and was delighted…read morewith the entire experience. I've tried several holiday menus around the region, and KAB is a clear standout. I ordered a baguette and vegetable quiche to round out my own meal, plus an apple pie and bûche de Noël for dessert. Pick-up was seamless. The café was bustling with happy customers carrying pastries and coffee, but the preorder station was just inside the door to the right. I gave my name, they confirmed the contents, and I was quickly on my way. The whole place has such a warm, upbeat vibe--bustling but never chaotic. The staff are fantastic: friendly, organized, and genuinely happy to help. Even on a busy holiday pick-up day, everything felt calm and well-run. The quiche came with clear heating instructions (which I really appreciate, as not everywhere provides them). It was fully cooked and only needed 20 minutes in the oven. The filling was light yet rich, and the delicate filo crust was such a lovely surprise. Not a single slice was left over! The apple pie was perfectly baked with a tall, flaky crust and well-balanced apple filling--lightly sweet, gently spiced, and sliced just right so each piece held together beautifully. This was also my first bûche de Noël, and now the bar is impossibly high. The dark chocolate sponge was tender and filled with real whipped cream and the perfect hint of brandied cherries--beautifully balanced rather than overpowering. The chocolate mousse frosting and thin ganache glaze were flawless, and the decoration (meringue mushrooms and sugared cranberries) made it truly special. I sincerely hope KAB continues their holiday menu every year, because I fully plan to cook less and order more from them. Everything was exceptional.

Alas, the line was extremely long and didn't seem to be moving that fast, and the seating was packed. We decided to seek breakfast elsewhere after exploring the books. Since we didn't eat there, this review pertains only to the bookstore. It was very crowded and noisy. The focus here is definitely on fiction, so if that is your thing, you will probably love it.

I stayed next-door at the Norwich Inn while attending some King Arthur Baking classes... And I'm sure I was over there twice a day for something! The McWhit breakfast sandwich is very, very good! I had one when I arrived, and I even took one on the road to the airport with me. Whether I needed water bottles or a treat or some souvenir?? It was there! I was even able to find some random kitchen tools that I have not seen in years. Staff is super nice and friendly. This store is obviously a huge and important part of the community. My hotel room had a window looking out at the parking lot and cars just streamed in and out all day long. As I was leaving, I thanked the clerk and told him I thought every town should have a store like this! I love my town, but too many chain grocery stores and dollar stores and nothing can beat Dan and Whits!

Everyone is super friendly and we loved all the stands outside the store from a "wall of kindness" free coat rack to the free library to the eyeglass donation bin. It gave it all the small town and proud proprietor vibes that we don't get in Oakland with boarded up storefronts, vandalism and broken glass.

We got the kids some sweets and the adults among us grabbed a few sandwiches. The sweets went over swimmingly, but the sandwiches were awful. They were very expensive, not flavorful, and extremely basic (think soggy bread with a lot of hummus but not much else). This place seems to be a great option for birthday cakes and morning pastries, but I would advise getting your sandwiches elsewhere.

It has a cozy, rustic vibe that's not trying to do too much. Open at 8am this is a great spot to grab breakfast or lunch- with an all day breakfast sandwich menu. The food came out really quick which is good if you are rushing to class! I got the Miss Marple and a twice baked chocolate almond croissant. The miss Marple was really good; I picked the whole wheat sourdough which was delightfully thick cut which was needed given it was stuffed fully with egg, avocado, tomato. This sandwich was very filling and you could definitely share one. The twice baked croissant was decadent and I would definitely get it again. I've never seen anything like it- it was a like a traditional chocolate croissant with the almond marzipan filling. I would definitely recommend trying it! Overall, I wouldn't pass (umple)BY this bakery without giving it a try!
