Tried their cold brew - the coffee was decent and had that flavour profile I really like. Also got a few other drinks for my family but didn't get to try them myself (they seemed to enjoy it). The price is also decent compared to a lot of coffee shops these days, everything felt like a great value without sacrificing quality. Staff was really friendly and the overall vibe was comfortable. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. I would try their other drinks as well if I ever come by here again.

We arrived late lunch hour and though busy were seated quickly. The place was still quite full and there was low music in the background. It wasn't too long before our orders were taken, Special Club #1 over easy for hubby, the Seafood Benedict (shrimp) for me. Rather than hashbrowns, I opted for fresh fruit. I've ordered this before, the good experience outweighed any negative and gotta say this time was excellent. Hubby enjoyed his meal as well (he usually orders a 2+2+2--we think that's turkey--or chicken?--sausage) and the prices are moderate. The fresh fruit was amazing. Not a tiny sample size serving, but enough to split with hubby and we both enjoyed. Our server was appropriately attentive, not overly so, and the wait was not long. We were very happy with the experience this time and regret not getting pics.

We were greeted by our waitress no complaints. She asked what we would like to drink and shortly brought them to us. A few moments later the waitress came back and took our order. Pigs in a blanket and eggs Benedict with hash browns well done with a side of bacon. A small conversation later she returned with our order. Pigs in a blanket ended up being pecan pancakes and my hash browns were not well done. We stated that we ordered pigs in a blanked and she took the pancakes away. She then returned less than 5 min later with the correct order. Thankfully my girlfriend didn't have an allergy to nuts but they took the original pancakes and brushed off the pecans a rolled the pancakes around the sausage. Not sure if that was the right thing to do. The waitress was also asked to bring a glass of orange juice which we never received. Lastly the bacon was not good at all slices were way too salty and not up to a family restaurant quality . I've had better bacon from McDonald's and for the price I was disappointed and did not finish them. I'm almost certain we will not be back. I will though travel a bit farther to dyer to the family restaurant on 41.

There were numerous choices making it slightly difficult to decide what to try for our first visit LOL. We finally decided on a Peanut Butter Classic Cookie, and the Chocolate Maple Bacon and Bavarian Chocolate Dipped Gourmet Donuts. Everything was delicious; however, my absolute favorite was the Bavarian Chocolate Dipped Gourmet Donut. The first thing I noticed was an excellent amount of chocolate icing across the entire top and on the sides of the donut. It was very chocolatey, very smooth, and perfectly sweet. The donut itself was very different than any Bismarck donut I've ever had. It was a VERY light, VERY fresh, soft dough vs the dryer denser dough of a chain location. The Bavarian cream filling was very flavorful with a light and creamy texture versus a thick pudding texture of the typical filled donuts. It was clearly freshly made that day and will absolutely be on my order each time. Our only "problem" was when we wanted to stop by to try something new and were very disappointed that we arrived on a day they were not open. We both agreed it was like wanting Chik-fil-A and then realizing it was a Sunday and they were closed. We were back the next day and will not make that mistake again! I planned to take photos of our second choices but they were consumed much too quickly. Of course this means we will be back as soon as possible. I highly recommend Josephine's Bakeshop, and supporting a local business, every time you can do so.
