Definitely a bakery to visit!!…read more They have a huge wooden chair outside as decor so you can't miss it! Inside smelled wonderful! I wanted to try everything!

I hate walnuts and I hate nuts in my bread! I wish they had warned me or had a sign about it. We got the 3 little cinnamon rolls and they were good but Omlette Shoppe has the best cinnamon rolls.

They had pizza, deli sandwiches, a decent and diverse selection of beer/wine/liquor, some gourmet foods, some organic foods, and some other random things. I liked it!

The Staff was really friendly and had our sandwich done in less than 10 minutes. You can't tell from the picture but it was loaded with a ton of meat and it was hot! There is also a wine shop attached, I didn't get over there to check out the wine selection but it looked pretty big.

We came here for a late lunch and honestly, it was still very busy but after we finished enjoying…read moreour meal and dessert, I can understand why. We were seated at a table close to the bar. When you come in, you are immediately and pleasantly assaulted by their dessert display case so feast your eyes and meanwhile, plan to save some room in your belly because trust me, you'll want some of their dessert. As a result, I ordered a salad, the up north cobb which was good and moderately filling and my husband had the special which was a chicken salad sandwich served with chips. We both had a nice lighter lunch followed by some delicious desserts. Generally, I order dessert and my husband eats what I cannot but this time, he orders his own. I had the cherry crumble and he had the sticky toffee pudding. Their dessert definitely satisfies the sweet tooth craving. So good and so much food! Service was fine. We ended up with the bartender as our waitress who had to do both roles during a busy time. She was a bit flustered but was generally pleasant whenever she came to the table to get our order and check on us. I only wish we were able to come here for dinner but lunch definitely did not disappoint and the dessert was epic!

I had the Turkey & Swiss, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Fresh ingredients, flavorful, and the sauces they use really take it up a notch.

Prices are a little on the higher side for the portion size, but the flavor and experience made up for it. Very happy I stopped in.
