A very charming little bakery just off the main drag in Lawrence. They have an impressive variety…read morein their bakery display, and it was nearly impossible to narrow my options down to the top four to buy. The baristas were great at breaking down what everything was and what their top sellers were. Every single thing I got was delicious, and a special shout out to the dill pickle bagel. nobody is doing it like she is. There's not a ton of seating in the café and they don't have Wi-Fi. Some people were still in there working on laptops (I assume from hotspots) but I would say this is a better place to come if you want a delicious baked good and a screen-free hang.

I swear for the size Lawrence is as a town it has some insane food. I went to Cellar Door Cafe to…read morecatch up with a friend and was honestly blown away by the quality of the food here. First thing to note is Cellar Door is SMALL so plan accordingly, you might not get lucky enough to get a table (we were, but we also got there early). You order at the counter and they bring out your food. I had a pastry recommended by my friend an the cauliflower wrap. I'm still dreaming of the wrap to be honest. The cauliflower was perfectly roasted, the sauce was divine, and the bread? Holy cow they clearly make it in house - so delicious. My friend sent me home with a babka which was also stellar. Can't rave about this place more - just go here if you're in the area. I can't wait to return.

They are so good! You really do wind up saying "Holy Moly" that's good! I love a good fritter and theirs is amazing! Size of my face! I ate too much before thinking of a photo. We also got the donut bites, a cinnamon roll and a dozen glazed/chocolate donuts. Light fluffy and with that incredible little light crunch on the outside and melt in your mouth inside. For those complaining of price, they are in line with other local options. Being local they likely don't have the buying power the chain stores do, yet are still under 2 for most flavors. The fancy ones are under 3 but are like twice the size! Worth it and will return! Service was super nice and friendly! Definitely support this local gem!

My wife and I stopped by The Roost for breakfast, and it definitely lived up to its reputation…read more I ordered the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and sourdough toast. The corned beef hash was outstanding, crispy where it should be, tender where it counts, and clearly made by someone who actually cares. You can taste the effort. The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked too. Now, about that "sourdough." I have to confess I'm a bit of a sourdough snob after spending time eating the real deal in San Francisco. This wasn't sourdough. It was good white bread wearing a fake mustache. That said, it was fresh, buttery, and the marmalade was absolutely delicious, so I still happily cleaned my plate. The coffee is self-serve and bottomless, which I actually like. If you're the type who enjoys topping off your own cup whenever you want, it's perfect. If getting up to refill your coffee feels like an Olympic event, you may disagree. Service was friendly, fast, and exactly what you hope for at a breakfast spot, attentive without hovering. We visited around 8:30 on a Saturday morning. Since it's a college town and summer break was in full swing, it wasn't busy at all. I'd expect it to be a much different story once students are back. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. Just one request for The Roost: either upgrade to real sourdough... or call it white bread. My inner bread critic will thank you.

You get plenty of donut. It's just heavy and I didn't care for the flavor. It was salty....which in certain instances is good...sweet and salty...but I didn't care for it. I did get a cinnamon cake and a blueberry lemon. Both of those were fine. Probably 4 star for those two. But based on the glazed I have to go 3 star. All the fancy looking donuts are just that....just fancy looking....in my opinion. I got there early, around 6:15am, which was my other issue. They were busy which is cool, but I was expecting fresh donuts and I felt like they had been sitting for hours. My glazed was ice cold. First thing I was hoping to get a semi warm one that didn't feel like it was old. I didn't eat it there so atmosphere is hard to discuss. It was neat inside though. I wouldn't say don't go there...it may be your jam...it's just not mine. Give me Ike's in Arkansas City KS or Dudes in Joplin MO any day. PS- the also have fancy names for their donuts so I'm not certain exactly what they called the donuts I bought....but hey, I called them what they are.

She also has an extremely good personality and very helpful about explaining the different products! She's originally from Australia and has the accent to prove it! Extremely nice lady! She also had 2 young ladies helping her and they were as equally nice too. The facility was extremely clean! As you can see, you could literally eat off of her floors and this was at the end of a busy day that I took those particular pictures! Everything was extremely tidy! By the time I got there later in the day, a lot of her things were sold out! She said the line was out the door before she opened that morning and she started baking at 3AM!! She opens at 10AM. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie (delicious), blueberry muffin (the blueberries were large and not stingy), and pumpkin type cake (excellent). To summarize the entire experience was above and beyond what I had expected for this small scale town! This bakery is more of an upscale bakery you find in somewhere like Kansas City, Not Holton! . I highly recommend it. Also posted some more pics of some of her desserts that she makes, they were available on Friday.
