    Bagel

    Cute little spot, their bagel sandwiches are delicious. Service was wonderful, the worker has been there for over 20 years and makes everything fresh to order. Would go back!

    Great find. I deviated from my Starbucks routine as I just wanted somewhere close, and found this place. How have I lived so close for a year and never noticed it? I went in today and it smelled wonderful! The owner Christina was friendly and knowledgeable beyond compare to a coffee house I've been to before. I mentioned I was an iced coffee girl and she just started walking me through options. I ended up with an iced salted caramel turtle with oat milk and it was amazing! Christina shared that if I call ahead she will run my drink out to me too! I tried one of her customizable breakfast sandwiches and that was so good and what a great price at $3.75! I will definitely be back!!!!!

    I came in here for the first time today and really enjoyed my visit! The owner is very friendly and helps you find what you would like. I got a butter pecan coffee and a breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel. So good and put sbux to shame!!

    Plenty of sugar free options!!!

    We almost didn't make this stop because of time, but I'm sure glad we did! Coming home from camping…read moreand this was an easy stop close off the highway. My husband was able to drop me at the door and then pull the truck and camper around the block and parked on the street across the road to wait for me. The store itself was bright, welcoming, and a good amount of seating. I didn't go into the back area but there were 2 cozy chairs up front by a big open window to sit and wait for my order. Fresh pastries and kolaches, scones, cookies displayed nicely in the front case. They didn't have sausage, egg, and cheese kolaches ready at the moment I was there, so we ended up ordering 3 bacon, egg, and cheese and 1 jalapeno sausage and cheese kolaches and everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed them. We have an American kolache near us and everyone in the family said these were bigger and they enjoyed the taste of the dough much better. My son really enjoyed the jalapeno and cheese one. It was perfect for him B/c he doesn't like eggs and loves the jalapeno kick. I am super picky with my cinnamon rolls. My favorite cinnamon roll ever was from Bumbleberry Inn outside Zion National Park. I am always on the search for a similar roll. I almost didn't get one as I prefer traditional and the ones left were a little small in size. For same pricing (much larger), I opted to get one of their strawberry ones and try it out. It was very satisfactory. Nice and soft, good gooey center, and they use a fresh strawberry compote. It also tasted like it had maybe lemon zest or juice in it to add a pop of citrus. Flavor was spot on and I'll gladly get a cinnamon roll here again. I ordered a large Berry Sweet Smoothie to split between my 3 kids and they all loved the flavor. I loved that it was fresh and simple, clean ingredients-strawberries, bananas, Greek yogurt and milk. We try to avoid dyes and preservatives so I had reached out on fb messenger,maybe 20 minutes prior when I found the location on the map, and asked about things we may be able to order. I'm assuming it was the owner who replied, but she was quick to reply and assure me everything except the jello items were without. The girls on front staff confirmed they used a strawberry compote on the cinnamon roll and went over ingredients in the smoothie. This is much appreciative! I know it takes extra time and questions they usually don't get, but I'm very much an ingredient mom so I don't visit restaurants/bakeries often. I'm very appreciative of the ones that help me review ingredients! I also noticed they use Monin syrups and many of these are dye free so I know on our next visit if my kids would like a coffee drink, I'd be able to order them one! Okay and then lastly, the coffee...and truly main reason I stopped. They are working on a coffee menu, so I couldn't prepare what to order ahead of time. I'm very basic and don't do syrups, but my favorite drink is a flat white. I was a little nervous they wouldn't know how to make it but when I asked, she said she could definitely do that. The drink was a little low on the amount in cup but I assume that is because of how it is made. Certain drinks just have less ratio. My other worry is that the milk will always overwhelm the espresso flavor. This was balanced perfectly. I didn't feel like I was just drinking steamed milk foam. I could taste the espresso and it was a good, smooth flavor. I would for sure order this again. The only thing I might ask for next time is maybe just fill the rest of the cup space with some brewed coffee. Highly, highly would recommend making this a regular place if you are local or making it a designated stop, like we will, if you are a couple hours away. This will now be a forever stop when we are traveling to campsites in the area! Thank you to the Baked and Brewed team!

My wife and I stopped in on a Sunday morning and Mandy provided amazing customer service from the moment we walked in. She told us all about the shop, including how the pastries are baked fresh in-house and the sourdough bread is homemade and sold by the loaf. The owner started at the Arnold Farmers Market and opened this café just 7 months ago, which makes supporting this local business even better. I ordered the honey lavender iced latte and it was one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. Great coffee, homemade pastries, and a welcoming atmosphere -- we'll definitely be back!

It's fun, quirky, and filled with delicious goodies -- a great place to get coffee and tea, with the added bonus of sweet treats! I love the rotation of seasonal drinks, and the baked goods are a small but mighty selection of scones, muffins, cookies, brioche cinnamon rolls (my favorite!), and other yummy baked deliciousness! Staff are friendly and helpful in offering options -- for example, I needed some dairy free milk choices. The barista also offered great recommendations with the seasonal drinks. Pricing is really reasonable... which allows you to indulge in some additional baked goods or one of their fun merchandise items like homemade dog treats, t-shirts, mugs, etc. I also like that they have a small shelf of books, records, and games if you want a little BFF time - with your bestie or for just yourself! I enjoy stopping in for refreshments and a little break from shopping on Lindbergh, or getting something to go to enjoy at home. The vibe is relaxed, and easy-going, and marching to the beat of its own drum. You gotta love places like this! There is plenty of parking, and the lot is easy to get in and out of. Just watch your step at the doorway entry/exit. It's got a slight incline - so watch your step. Seating is limited, but it seems to work, because there is a steady "to go" crowd that doesn't take up the tables. I love this cool spot in South County! It's local, and I love that over bigger, more expensive alternatives. I've been thinking a lot about those cinnamon rolls. So, I need another visit!

    I think this place has good coffee, but for a place that prides itself "hustle culture" it is the…read moreslowest coffee shop I have ever been to. Today, I literally had to leave because when I walked in, there was no one behind the counter, I stood there for a few minutes until someone finally came out out of the back section, and then I assume, went behind the counter to tell the worker that I was waiting. When the worker came out, she had a bunch of cookies in her hands that she then had to proceed to fold and put into a bag and then she started making the coffee of two people that were sitting at the counter while I was still just standing there. She did acknowledge me, which I appreciate, but at that point, I have been standing there for at least five minutes and I still hadn't ordered my coffee. I told her that I had to leave because I had to get to work and went to Starbucks instead, which I really didn't want to do. But this has been a pattern with this place- either they're not hiring enough staff, the staff that they have is overwhelmed or something is going on. I've been coming here for almost a year- and I definitely would prefer to patronize a local Shop, but not if it's gonna take five minutes to even just get my order taken when I am literally the only person in line. Also, I wanna add, I literally used to come here three times a week. This is not a new experience, but this one has really taken it over the top. Like I said, I want to support a local coffee shop, and I want to like this place, but particularly in the morning when people are on their way to work, this type of delay is totally unacceptable. I'm not blaming the worker, I'm blaming whoever's doing the scheduling.
