Wonderful selection of baklava and similar pastries. We ordered a coffee and I had a specialty coffee and we ordered 3 of the various pastries. It was more than $30. I did not ask the price on the pastries prior to ordering- so that's on me. This has the feel of a local stop and regulars so if you're in the area it's worth checking out.

A latte for Mrs. K. and a cortado for me, with it some Turkish Delight (original rose water, of course) and two small squares of walnut baklava for me. Absolutely perfect and such a comfortable place to sit for a bit. Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, great coffee and so many delicious treats available.

Despite the questionable surroundings, I determined that my balls required pickling and elected to proceed. It is rare that a business manages to fail both in its objectives as a commercial enterprise, but also creates a nuisance for the community that surrounds it. The coffee is the antithesis of the mural that surrounds it, bland and unremarkable. As for the pickling of the balls, it suffices in the chill of winter. Outside of the depths of winter, the free options that surround Westville render Pickleville as unnecessary as the abominable mural that surrounds it. Poor show!

Most chairs were up on tables, but a few tables had chairs down and people sat at chairs in the front. When we went up to the register, my friend got excited because they were playing a song she really liked. The employee told her to "calm down" multiple times in a very rude tone. We bought a piece of cake, it was a bit expensive for a small slice ($7.75) but we noticed a student discount with proof of Student ID. One of my friends had her student ID on her so she showed it, my friends also got excited about the discount and we were told to "calm down" again. Then another employee told us that the discount didn't apply to cake or macarons?? Weird. Seems convenient, since those were the only things left in the case. Anyway, we bought the cake at full price, and my friend went to find forks for the group. She asked one of the employees behind the counter and he very rudely said, "Have you tried looking behind you?" So rude. I asked for a plate to make it easier for us to split the cake slice, and the first employee told me they were closed for eating. No mention of that or signs about it before we purchased. We had to leave with our cake and ended up eating it outside on the street. I'm not happy with this place, it looked so cute at first but honestly not even worth the trouble or the money.
