This place has really stood the test of time! I'm moving reviews over from Yelp and this one was originally written in 2010:
Probably a 3-4 star place in a major metropolitan area but certainly a 5-star place in Springfield. Without a doubt, the best bakery style lunch place for at least a hundred miles in any direction.
Quiches are always a good pick. Their house salad comes tossed, not topped, with a slightly sweet dressing. The chicken salad is curried (not sure that was mentioned when ordering) but absolutely great.
Opinions on desserts seem to vary by the item and the person. We generally love everything we get from the dessert case but have had a few friends say the appearance did not match the taste.
Kinda pricey for Springfield, but there is always the dollar menu at MCD for those who look for a different price:calorie ratio. Those looking for a high-quality lunch and interesting food will not be disappointed.

This place is so unique. I love the outside garden area. My breakfast croissant was very good the avocado egg and relish on it were so fresh. The egg potatoes sausage platter was very fresh and delicious. Save room for pastries.

No WiFi! What kind of business in the modern age will not have Wi-Fi? Food is OK. Portions are small. Extremely overpriced. Often stuff is stale. Waiting in line to order is ridiculous.

We had them do our wedding cake for us and it turned out great. Opted for white cake with blueberry and lemon filling. It was amazing. Highly recommend.

I visited this bakery for the first time, and it truly went beyond my expectations. The quality and taste were absolutely incredible, and the customer service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I had breakfast here, and it was excellent and got recommended pastries for a meeting. On top of that, the location is simply mesmerizing, like something out of a storybook. I’ll definitely recommend this place to others and look forward to returning soon!
Love this place. Eating inside is very cozy. Getting it to go is nice too. Love there desserts, dressings, fresh bread and food. A nice place to go for fresh yummy food.
Awesome bakery, 5 Star Quality Bakeries and Pastries!

First of all - the food was very good. We had quiche, soup and chicken salad. The house is unique and lovely and it was a nice lunch to visit with friends. However, the walk and stones getting into the dining area were terribly uneven and just really dangerous and there was no handicap entrance that we could find. Once inside there was no direction or signage. Do we sit and they take our order, or do we stand in line? A little confusing. We indeed had to stand in a single line, the menu was only posted on the door so you had to wait until you were at the door and then under the gun to decide quickly because there weee other waiting behind you and you were holding up the line. It was a LONG standing time in the line. The “bakery” order area is very cramped and tiny and in a room- it wasn’t like you could stand to the side an peruse all the goodies before you picked what you wanted- again people waiting behind you. There was ONE cash register and the cashier was trying to multi- task: take orders, get drinks, grab pastries, follow you to you table with stuff that you couldn’t carry in one trip - no trays. Just VERY disorganized and chaotic. The seating area was nice and pretty. This is not a fast food place where you can grab and go so why not have a seated service with servers taking your order with REAL menus that you can actually take time to peruse and decide what to eat? The current set up would work for ONE person who knew what they wanted and could get in and out in a hurry not didn’t work for a party of four.
