What appears to be a mom and pop bakery is actually a baker who has carefully done his research and brings himself up to date on the latest trends of flavor in the baking world. The vibes are amazing - I especially love the art piece on the wall he commissioned from a local artist. I saw the Instagram page with several posts explaining how he did each part. Everything was absolutely delicious (I am biased with the ham and gruyere cheese since that is a favorite combo of mine), the danish was delicious (I could tell maybe it uses veryberryosa - a recent trend in baking to be used as filling), and the same was probably on the cinnamon roll looking crossaint. Now the grand prize - the mochi donuts were spectacular. The flavors I got were raspberry almond (my #1 favorite I got twice), cereal (this was carefully curated and not too sweet like most cereal based baked goods), Irish coffee (didn't taste like coffee, gave it to a friend) and the mango black tea was also a slam dunk for me. The staff are incredibly friendly here which is a huge plus!

I got the giant chocolate chip cookie, it did look very different from any cookie I have ever eaten . Costed $7 approx and the cookie is big enough to have as breakfast ha ha. The lady at the counter was very sweet and patient and she explained that the Brazilian Brigadeiro are actually the fudgy chocolaty round confection and there is a specific recipe and method to make it.

I've had exactly one Crumbl Cookie prior to this visit. It was a key lime pie cookie and it was…read moreeasily one of the best cookies I've ever had. So when I saw that it was back on the menu, I knew I had to make a trip. Every week the menu changes so there's always something new and fresh. I ordered online and went to pick it up. The app is super easy to use and pickup is even easier. I pressed a button to let them know I arrived and within minutes a beautiful box of cookies was presented to me. The cookies are all large and depending on what you order, they are different textures. The "cake" cookies have a cake like texture. The key lime is literally a mini key lime pie. The chocolate peanut butter chip cookie was the only one of the five that had an actual cookie consistency. Here's the ratings of each cookies (this is only my opinion and is based on a number of things): Key Lime Pie: 10 Caramel Pumpkin Cake: 9.5 Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip: 9 Chocolate Toffee Cake: 8.5 Chocolate Peanut Butter ft. Oreos: 7.75 Definitely check out the weekly menu and give them a try.
