The panetone is incredibly delicious as is the stollen German bread. I highly recommend shopping at Jones & Bones if you want special gourmet items for yourself or as a special gift for someone. Jennifer will help guide you and educate you on the descriptions of the items and how they are made.

The woman at the front was mopping the floor and when I had told her my order, she began to pick up the bread without washing her hands! That's absolutely disgusting. When my mom pointed out her behavior, the woman said she would pick up another loaf of bread. Only then did she use a napkin to pick up my donuts and bread. Keep in mind, she still hadn't washed her hands!!!! It's incredibly gross and by doing this she could've gotten me, a celiac, or any other customer sick.

There was a long line of happy people patiently waiting to order hot food at the counter. The butcher shop has a different line and register. The Brisket was insane, fatty, tender, perfect. The meaty ribs OMG so so tasty and tender. The hot link was hot and well cooked, but not really my thing. I didn't really care for the bbq sauce, but who cares bc the meat was flawless and needed nothing at all. The beans were a little hard, I've no doubt that is a one off, bc they were hustling so hard. The service is kind and attentive. Lots of enthusiastic diners tucking into generous piles of food, a happy sight.

Options:…read more- Gelato: Black cherry, French vanilla, regular vanilla, hazelnut, pistachio, coffee, coconut, chocolate, strawberry. - Sorbets: lemon sorbet, strawberry sorbet, mango sorbet. 2/5: The pistachio gelato is meh. It has a very mild flavor: Bindi is skimping on the expensive pistachio. It also contains chopped pistachios that are rubbery from being exposed to the gelato. 4/5: The regular vanilla gelato is good. Nice flavor, good sweetness level. It's heavily stabilized; it has an elastic/chewy texture. 2/5: The Fratema sandwich $12 has grilled eggplant, mozzarella, pesto, semi-dry tomato. The flavors are meh; didn't work for me. 2/5: I did not like the cannoli $7.50. The shell tastes very processed, like it's loaded with trans fat. The filling has great texture but is way too sweet. 5/5: The double espresso $4.75 is excellent; bold, rich, and dark, without being sour or citrusy. they use Vergnano coffee.
