My wife loves this place.
This bakery is an absolute gem! Everything here tastes freshly baked and full of flavor. The bread is perfectly crusty on the outside and soft and airy on the inside — you can tell it’s made with real care and top-quality ingredients.
The pastries are just as amazing — flaky, buttery, and beautifully balanced in sweetness. Every bite feels like something made by people who truly love what they do. The smell when you walk in is heavenly, and the staff are always warm and welcoming.
Whether you’re grabbing a morning pastry or a loaf to take home, this place never disappoints. One of the best bakeries in town — highly recommended! 🌟

I can't get enough of their sesame whole wheat bread! It’s a staple in my kitchen!
Went on a Friday morning around 9 and there were not many people.(almost no line).
Tried the Chocolate Frangi twist and everything crossiant. Both were fine. I had very high expectation due to the really high review scores but the bakery was not phenomenal. They were very crispy outside, actually can be too hard since they were cold. I wasn't so impressed by the texture Or taste.
Overall good value for bakeries ($4 or 5 each)

Do not bother ordering online. Their website says that by ordering in advance online you can pickup your order wirhout standing in their VERY long line. Not true. If you go through the double doors the workers there just stare at you blankly.

Have you ever tried their Passion Fruit Danish? I‘m from Germany and usually weary of non-classical food creations. But it was sooo delicious!

Absolutely love their baked goods. Tried crossaints, ciabata and some others. Really flaky and not very sweet.
Their cookies do tend to be on sweeter side - not for me.
If you happen to go on weekends, coffee had a really long line so only ended up getting bakery food. It's mostly take out as they have limited outdoor sitting area.

Absolutely gorgeous bakery! They make their wheat bread with sprouted wheat, I think. Feels like real bread. I used to like Dave's bread before, but find that feels more pasty these days. This is our go-to bread now - don't like any other type. Even carry it when we are traveling!
