I really enjoyed their chicken pot pie; very filling. The bakery is usually busy with friendly staff.Kid-friendliness: I usually see families with toddlers enjoying baked goods together. The staff will bring out your order to the table.

Absolutely loved this little hole in the wall gem!!The girl who helped us was so nice and welcoming.The art that is displayed was beautiful. I wanted to just stay and stare at the art and read all day. I loved it!We purchased a cheese danish and an almond croissant and aMoroccan Mint tea and some cookies.The cheese danish was so light and delicious but the real star of the show was the almond croissant!! Sooooo delicious!!We will def be back.

Darling little bakery in a slightly industrial complex. Had their apple pie and it was delicious. So many other yummy looking options as well. Cute patio out front to enjoy your coffee and treats.

We came here for some gluten free goodies. My wife got a bunch of things. The dude behind the counter was super helpful and friendly. She had me try some stuff and for being gluten free AND vegan it was pretty dang good. She was super happy with it.

I had the pleasure finding this bakery from the del Monte farmers market. I didn't catch the woman's name but she was lovely. My daughter asked for her snowflake cookies (says they were yummy), and I got a almond bear claw which was delicious. Definitely going to seek them out again when I visit.

The ham and swiss cheese quiche was very good. Fresh and well balanced. I highly recommend the mint tea. They have a great assortment. I was able to buy freshly baked chicken pot pies. Too much peas and carrots. A little dry. So I added my own cream of chicken. Ultimately, everything was fresh and tasty.

Bought two pumpkin pies the day before Thanksgiving and on Saturday they were both covered with mold. Had to throw them out. Not acceptable at $20+ per pie.

The breakfast croissant I got was delicious. I also enjoyed the horrchata latte I got. Unfortunately, I spilled half of it on myself and the ground. I was very sad. I got a sugar cookie because I've wanted one for so long, and nobody sells them anymore. It was a good classic sugar cookie. The icing made it look pretty and gave it a crunch that added to the experience of eating it. There was a chocolate croissant that was purchased, as well, and I was told that it was very good. This is a very nice place to come and enjoy some pastries. I've already been back.

I've eatenbhere several times. Food is good , mochas and lattes are great and service is fantastic.Parking can be tricky. Would have given a 5 star, but my chicken pot pie was warm but not hot, all the way through.I definitely enjoy coming to this local spot.
