First let me state that I DO NOT enjoy chocolate cake but it's my daughter's favorite. The baker added fresh fruit and a little happy birthday sign on it for me and it was PERFECT! I bake as well (not nearly this good) and could not have matched the moistness and the amazing flavor of this cake! It was delicious! It tasted as if it was made with lots of skill and love. My family loved it as well and my daughter was so pleased! Thank you for the amazing cake! We will definitely be back. Today as a matter of fact for my son in law!

I have been a customer of this location and been obsessed with the apple pie bread. Oh my goodness, not only did we make bread, but sampled every bread there, cinnamon rolls, had butter, oil, spices, meat, wine cannot say enough about how fun our day was. Totally hooked now on strawberry mini breads, maple pecan granola and blueberry pie bread, English muffin bread and most surprising peasant bread. We left with 2 giant stuffed bags of bread, goodies and amazing treats. He even has fresh made dog treats Sooooo much fun

It was such a fun experience…read more They offer bread making classes every Sunday, and whether you're already baking bread at home or interested in trying something new, this is a great way to learn. You'll find a wide selection of artisan breads (sourdough, brioche buns, French bread, and more), plus sweets and specialty items like cinnamon buns, pizza dough, and muffins - all made from simple, fresh ingredients. We baked the most delicious bread and had so much fun in the process. My favorite was the cheese and pepperoni bread. We also sampled the Rosemary Garlic Ciabatta, which was so good - it's a must-try! I'll definitely be visiting again and attending another bread making class.

I walked in and what appears to be the owner was sitting down at the table near the windows and…read morenext to the entry door. He had a Post middle-aged woman who was doing the counter. It was my first time there, so I don't know how they run their business. One row of tables had tablecloth and cutlery in cloth napkins, and then the tables near the windows didn't. I don't know what's going on. It looks kind of confusing to me. And what I'm assuming is the owner that was sitting at the table near the windows next to the entry door, barks at me, "are you here for dinner? Are you here for something Else, I said I don't know. So I chose a table near the windows to have maybe dessert and coffee. No menu was offered to me. And I had to go up to the case because they're not taking any orders at the tables, but I don't know that, and I pick out a chocolate declare with supposed French cream custard. It was not French cream, custard it was something that tasted like shortening mixed with some kind of whipped cream. The pastry didn't taste fresh. The filling didn't taste like what he said it was. It tasted like some cheaper version cutting corners, and unhealthy version. The coffee was OK. Nothing stellar. Then I see over and a dish bin near the wall that they want us to bust our own dishes as well. So you have to order the counter and then you have to come to the counter to get your coffee and then they want you to bust your table. And their hospital hospitality from 0 to 10 is pretty much zero. Somebody called him he answers how can I help you and then he hangs up on them and then he bitches at the counter Woman that people are trying to call you and tell you you qualify for something and I don't need anything and I just want people to leave me alone. And he says this out loud in the room, so everybody can hear it. This man is clueless. On the way out, the counter Woman asked me how my food was. And she had a warm heart about it. I could tell by the light in her eyes and her tone of voice that she really wanted to know, and that she was coming from her heart. I said well, it was OK. It wasn't great. It wasn't horrible. I said, but he, as I pointed at him could be more hospitable and not a cranky old man. And she said I know. Needless to say, I will never be coming back here again. There is no way in hell I'm gonna have some cranky old man barking at me and being served substandard quality food.

I got a cake and a croissant sandwich, the cake was very hard to eat, but it's very tasty. I got a smoked salmon, croissant sandwich and it was very yummy. The cheesecake would dense and creamy, pair perfectly with the jam on top. My sister-in-law got her Matcha and she tried it and it was not that good. Plus she found a bug in her drink. They were able to issue her refund. So maybe don't get the Matcha The second time we've been here it got more busy. It's harder to find parking, but I got ahi tuna, it tasted good at first, but there were some greens taste too leafy that I don't know how to describe. It's not my personal favorite. Maybe it is for other people, but the tuna was pretty fresh. The honey cake was the best. I also got a white sangria. It was very refreshing, but don't forget to stir it before drink it because the top was taste like white wine and the bottom was overly sweet. We will definitely come back next time when we visit again
