Cool higher end culinary items for purchase and some other weird but welcome items like handmade soap! Good community posting board! Chill vibes and surly baristas that make you feel like you're in a bigger city! What I don't love: there are never signs telling what the baked items are, so you literally have to ask one by one at every visit- as does every single person in line. It makes me feel guilty for the people behind me and I often rush before fully exploring my options. This is made worse when I bring my small indecisive child, so I go elsewhere when I have him with me. Also- 90% of the time that I have asked, the attending barista isn't certain what the baked items are and says something like "I think that one is an apricot and cheese danish. Or cheese and some fruit. I'm not positive." At Crust's prices, I'd like to know what I'm buying and I would appreciate time to make a decision. Why won't you tell us what your yummy pastries are?? Lastly- the automatic tipping options are so high (this is coming from someone who never tips below 20%) that it makes me wonder if you're paying your employees appropriately, or expecting tips to make up the difference. If you were to change one thing and one thing only from this feedback, PLEASE consider labeling your baked goods! I truly cannot think of a good reason why not to.

I understand that restaurants have policies and may not be able to accommodate every request, but a little courtesy and an effort to be helpful go a long way. Unfortunately, the interaction left me feeling unwelcome and took away from what otherwise was decent food.

The food is ok. It's the basic fare you'll get at any bar and grill type of restaurant. One of the main reasons I would go to this restaurant is because the owners are lgbtq+. However, I've recently discovered that they are pretty transphobic and Donald trump supporters. If one of the main reasons you also visited this establishment is because the owners are lgbtq+. I think it's helpful to know this information. read more

We ordered the broccoli quiche, telling ourselves, "Look at us, eating green vegetables for breakfast. We are the picture of health and sophistication. And it was sophisticated. The quiche was fluffy, savory, and perfectly baked--the kind of dish that makes you feel like you should be sipping an espresso while wearing a silk robe. But then came the sunny-side-up eggs and home fries, and all pretense of restraint went right out the window. Those sunny-side-up eggs were a masterclass in tension. The yolks were so perfectly runny that the second we poked them, it was like a golden, delicious dam broke across the plate. Naturally, those crispy, heavily seasoned home fries were right there waiting to act as the ultimate cleanup crew. It became a beautiful, chaotic race against time to swipe up every drop of yolk with a potato. By the end, the plate looked like a battlefield, and we looked like we needed a post-breakfast nap. 10/10--the perfect balance of getting your daily vitamins and eating your weight in carbohydrates.

I'd like to provide more detail, but their website menu page isn't working, and it's difficult to find a menu for them. Prices may not be up to date. We thought the roll was very tasty, albeit somewhat heavy. My beer was excellent, and the wine was cold and refreshing according to my co-diner. The waitress was excellent.

It was a deep dark brown and very large. They served it hanging and with cheese and mustard sides. It was great. For an entree I ordered the chicken pesto quesadilla. Floored. It was crispy, and delicious. The pesto was really well balanced, and I love the sour cream and lettuce on the sides. This came with a side of queso too that was straight from heaven. We didn't get any napkins at the table so it was a little greasier than expected but overall great. This place is over an hour away from our house- and we are planning to come back just to eat here.

Since it was a beautiful day out, we decided to sit outside at their high-top picnic tables with umbrellas. Both my friend and I ordered burgers: I got the Wagyu burger and requested waffle fries and he got the Classic burger. They had originally informed me they didn't have the Australian wagyu beef patty for my burger, but it was a false alarm and they did have it. After about 15 minutes, our order came out. The burger looked very basic, but it was packed with flavor, and I do think the patty made a difference. The patty was moist, a little pink on the inside since I asked for medium well, and very flavorful. The buns were lightly toasted. I stole my friend's tomato and asked for lettuce since it didn't come with any. The onions were delicious and added some sweetness. The fries were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside and they gave a very good amount. I asked for ranch on the side and I liked the fact that it was creamy and thick. Overall, the food was delicious, reasonably priced, fresh, and good service.
