I might recommend this place for its pies & pastries, but not their coffee offerings. I guess they don’t get many requests for mochas because what I got was mostly milk with a splash of coffee & zero chocolate. Getting it iced costs another 50¢, which I’ve never seen before. They really don’t promote their coffee beverages, so…. Hopefully your experience will be better.
Food was ok. I had a slice of quiche which they heated in a pizza oven and burned the crust. My friend had pizza which had hardly any cheese and the Parmesan was full of blue mold. Coffee were good. Service was awful. Counter woman scowled at me and threw my food on the counter. The staff were chatting about some other customers who were upset about something. Not service focused and the ubiquitous 18% on the pay pad… not returning. Gotta be better options .
Great food and coffee and my wife and I will be back again and again.
