I spent 50$ there and everything tasted a few days old. The smell of the quiche reheated was inedible, smelled gamey. the cake tasted old. theres not labels above and below all of the food and pastry options so I dont know what anything is. there was no coffee drinks menu but teas were randomly written on a piece of paper. they should redo menu, make it clearer, offer less options that are all fresher. salads are great, sandwiches are great, flatbreads are great. Fill in the holes of what nc really needs, they shouldn't sell muffins with Rosies next door, you cant even compete, stick to what youre good at or where theres a hole in the market, for example NC has no donut shop, serve those to stand out.

I actually had to ask the worker how much everything was because the total of just 3 items came out to what I would think a price of 3 meals at a good restaurant would cost. No prices are posted (yeah, wonder why). The bagel tasted old and the cream cheese tasted way too sour, as if it was possibly bad. The almond croissant tasted nothing like it did years ago. It wasn't terrible but just not too good. The bread with ham on top was awful- we threw it out. I should have called them to let them know, but hopefully management reads this and improves the quality.

Even 3 days later when we were eating the last piece the cookie still tasted fresh and delicious. The cookie was moist even after three days, and dry out and taste stale like most cookies do after being left out for so long. The frosting took each bite to the next level, and served as the perfect sweet compliment to the cookie. I also grabbed some chocolate covered Oreos, and boy were these beautifully crafted and over the top decadently delicious. This storefront is a bit hidden, which is kind of the perfect metaphor for this hidden gem.

To add to it, they are completely nut-free as well! And they offer vegan options, too.

I wasted 2 weeks waiting on them to get back to me as I did not want to commit to other bakeries out of respect for them. But now I will. What a complete waste of time.

The layer of frosting on top of the cake was thinner than what I'm used to. The custard had a hard thick texture. I prefer my tres leche in a pool of evaporated/condensed milk. The jelly in the cookies didn't taste traditional and the whole cookie broke in crumbs with one bite. It was a bit dry. I shared with my coworkers and they all loved it, to each their own. The lady at the register was super nice with a friendly smile. I felt like they could have had more options.

Everything looked delicious and hand made. The baker was right in back, finishing with some more goods. Asked if they had rye bread, and they pulled it from the back! They also hand cut the loaf. Purchased a whole lot of other goodies like apple turnovers, cinnamon buns and a blueberry tart, and I think I'm missing something. The point is you can get a lot. Service was good, although I did go in the afternoon. I can easily see them getting mobbed, especially in this area with limited shopping choices. This place is a gem! A bit expensive, but definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend stopping by. I know we will.
