Terrible, croissants are not even cooked and there is no lamination.

Very frustrating drove from surf city for bread. We called ahead and voicemail said open. Yelp said open. STORE NOT open in hampstead. PLEASE GET THIS STRAIGHT FOR Customers!! Cinnamon rolls not worth the price either. Please change hours and voice mail to let people know what is going on' Going to lose a good customer if this keeps on.

Cinnamon rolls were great and their coffee is good too. We liked the blueberry lemon pinwheel and almond croissant as well. Challah bread was moist too. The service was good and the young lady was helpful. We'll be back for some steaks and more challah next time!

This review should be 5/5 stars. However, our experience was ruined by the cashier. She had a fair attitude with us but was so rude to a man who walked in and asked if they had a dining room. Clearly he was looking for one of the other locations. She responded to him in a very demeaning way. My friend and I felt bad for hours for not saying something to her. The cinnamon roll was tasty but I probably won't go out of my way to come here again. If I'm in Hampstead I might stop but not worth a special trip for that experience.

Went two separate times. I’m not very knowledgeable about steaks so going in, I asked how many filets could feed the amount of people I had. The person at the desk could not give me an answer at all and when I finally figured it out myself the price was outrageous. This happened again on my second visit. It’s not worth it to support local businesses if they aren’t supporting their customers.

I purchase baked items every week at the Hampstead market. I am so happy they are there and I have loved their baked goods. The sourdough bread is awesome. Sadly however they changed the way the make the croissants. They started adding a sweet glaze of some time to the top of all the croissants even the plain ones and the ham and cheese ones. Where before they were perfection they now taste more like donuts than croissants. Who wants sweet glaze on ham and cheese? Hopefully they drop that soon because otherwise they are awesome.

I really wanted a good bread to have with my mortadella... So i learned about this place today and my family and I drove 35 min. We bought an italian loaf, 2 challah buns and a cubano bun. We also bought several pastries. I paid almost $50 for all of it.I really would have preferred to send an email but I cannot find one online. I don't think I have ever been so upset and actually angry that I wasted $50 and more than an hour of drive time for such poor quality of food...The italian loaf was so dry and dense. Maybe it was old? I cannot believe they would sell that... They should be embarrassed :/ The challah buns were so dry. A Challah bun! How do you mess that up except that it's not fresh bead... I didn't even try the cubano bun - we cut into it and it was harder than a rock and so dense. :/We received 2 ham and cheese croissants... no ham and no cheese. Like.. at all. We ate those in the car on the drive home and we said okay maybe its just a mishap.So we try to hazelnut croissant and.... nothing. Zero filling. Just a plain croissant with a few hazelnuts on top. Same with the apple turnover... I mean my wife and I thought this must be insanity and maybe the baker was exhausted baking - but no filling in the apple turnover! We bought 2 chocolate croissants and only 1 of them had chocolate inside... The kids were so disappointed.What a terrible experience. Major waste of our time and money.Their saving grace was the friendly staff - but it doesn't make up for the $50 I spent on bread and pastries that went straight to the trash. I ate my mortadella on sandwich sliced bread from the grocery store instead. Ugh...

One of the best steaks I've ever had! I got three 9 oz filets and seared them and then finished them in the oven and WOW! Staff was really friendly. This was my first time, won't be my last.
Love the Kalamata sourdough bread can’t get enough of the croissants. I make a special trip at least once a week to go there. Support a local business and get a treat.

Shopped here a few times. Over priced.. absolutely but I wanted to support a local business. First time steaks were good, they gave you a little dish of fats and salts to go along with it. Bread was stale. Second time the steaks were so dried out I had to cut about half off it was so leathery, So my $150 steaks were worthless. I called the store, left a message about it and never got a call back. Third time. Same thing. Dried leather meat from sitting in a cooler, bread was not fresh like the girl said. It was days old, I only bought bread because the meat looked so bad. This last time, 3 dead maggots on the bottom of my meat that evening when I went and unwrapped the paper, but it wasn’t dried out like the last Times. We didn’t eat the meat, we tossed it. Something about finding a maggot dead on your meat mills your appetite for it. I also bought a donut. Took one bite and spit it out it was so stale. Tasted like a cheap donut that has sat for 3 days on a plate. I guess they don’t do the fat and salt anymore because I was only given it that first time when they opened. That’s a shame. It was a nice touch. I’ve gotten better stuff at Walmart and that’s saying something. Never ever will I return. I’m not sure how long they will stay in business. The people up front.. nice but dumb and clueless about any product they have or don’t have.
