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)

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.
