This was a very charming and friendly place! The background music was lovely and I loved the shopping corner of unique and quaint items.

The food is very good. Their white chocolate banana cream pie is one of our favorite! The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is bright and nicely set up with table seating up front and along the side, with merchandise along the back wall. They have a space downstairs to rent for meetings or small gatherings When we come home to visit, this is on of our must go to places.
Parking: Free street parking in the front and side. More parking across the street as well.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is no step from the sidewalk to the front door. Can easily get a wheelchair or walker into the space.

For lunch, I wanted to try something new and a place I had driven by the times I had been to Manchester. The Bread Basket came to mind then I heard their specials on the radio. Figured it was a sign.
After looking at their Facebook page and their menu on their website, the smoked turkey croissant sounded like something I would enjoy with a salad. It was amazing! The raspberry pepper preserves as the spread was a wonderful compliment to the sandwich and the composition was terrific! The croissant was light and flaky which made this a perfect lunch sandwich.
I had a house salad to accompany my sandwich, which went well with the mandarin oranges, pecans and light house dressing. I couldn’t decide if I wanted a soup or salad, so I got some chicken with wild rice soup to go. Their raspberry iced tea was probably Brisk but a nice touch in the glass. No complaints; just trying to remain level headed but it was very good!
Another great mention from their website was their White Chocolate Banana Cream pie. They make it fresh daily, and I see why! I don’t think I’ve ever had a banana cream pie with real bananas throughout; just on top. My slice was truly delightful and unlike any banana cream pie I’ve had before!
The decor and gift shop is super cute and welcoming! The bathroom keeps in mind that families would be visiting them with a step stool for the sink for kids and a basket to assist in diaper changing. The owner had greeted me upon my arrival and I met a few other employees while enjoying my meal. All were pleasant, friendly, and helpful! I can’t wait to visit again! They have a convenience fee, but a notice is on the table I was at and seemed to be on each table.

Lovely staff. Good food. A delightful find in Manchester Iowa. I had the salad with chicken, pecans, and several different fruit and the cranberry bread. Very nice.
An impressive stylish restaurant that also sells jewelry, purses, and other fun items. Owner Jackie is such a delight greeting customers and her entire staff friendly, engaging, and accommodating. Ordered the special of the day and also lemon meringue pie and white chocolate banana cream pie to go. Everything was prepared and plated to perfection. Always rave reviews, including mine.

One spoon of chicken noodle soup and my 7 year old said, "10 out of 10". I'd have to agree and they make you feel like family walking in the door.
