Grabbed a bunch of sandwiches for before a wedding & they were delicious. Amazing sourdough. Was ready super quickly too

I genuinely hope the owners see this and change something because it was AWFUL. Went here with my mom, we got 2 cold brews, 2 macarons, some lemon ball thing, yogurt with fruit and granola, and a big chocolate chip cookie. It was almost 50 dollars. Which would be fine if it wasn’t for how bad it all tasted.

1. The cold brews. They were in extremely tiny cups for being 5 dollars and had like little grainy stuff in it that tasted awful. My mom got the snickerdoodle one and it tasted like dirt with a little vanilla LOL. I got the pumpkin spice and it tasted like NOTHING but grainy milk mixed with water. Both got thrown away.

2. The macarons. They were dreamcicle flavored, very flat, not much filling. Which was alright, but the taste. Oh god. Was SO STRONG. I took a tiny bite of one and I was OVERWHELMED. SO BADDD. I was coughing and very shocked. When you take a tiny piece, it’s good!! But very wet and mushy..

3. The lemon ball?? It was a very small little ball of something? like some kind of bread or cookie? Rolled in sugar, which was falling off. It was very crumbly, and had no flavor besides bread? Like straight up FLOUR. I assumed there would be filling? To make them idk lemon? Like it said. No. Dry all the way through.

4. The yogurt. Oh god. Awful. I didn’t think it could be messed up, but it was. It looked good!! Smelled yummy. I take a bite of just the fruit and it’s a bit mushy but that’s fine so I just get some yogurt and it’s… weird. Like a mix of fancy bitter Greek yogurt and cottage cheese.. leaves ur mouth feeling dry. Extremely bitter I couldn’t eat any more. So I just tried to eat the granola on its own. They smell good and it’s toasted. And It just tastes like burnt walnut. All of it was burnt. Very hard and dry, like abnormally hard for granola.

5. The cookie. It was so big and the chocolate looked melty, so I was excited!! Tried to take a bit and the edge was a bit hard. But hey! That happens so I ignored it and just tried to eat the middle, but it tasted like straight up sugar. No flavor besides the strongest chocolate in the entire world and sugar. But some people might like that kinda thing! If you’re okay with it falling apart after one bite.

THE SERVICE: There were 2 teenage girls working the counter who were just talking and giggling for a while, which isn’t a big deal but when I finally got my order taken I had to repeat it like 5 times because she kept talking to her friend in between.. I ignored that and then they said “do u want milk?” And my mom was confused because she doesn’t go to cafes and says, “oh yeah if it comes like that” and the worker laughed and then we were charged for milk, after asking for it how it comes. Then we still tipped 6 dollars and went to wait for our food. After about 15 minutes we get our drinks. They’re gross so my mom tosses hers and I ask if they could put more flavoring in it because it was flavorless, I asked extremely nicely. (I can’t be mean to workers even if the foods bad) and she said of course! So I waited. About 5 minutes. Then she gave me it back. Says she put it in a bigger cup for me and I say thank you and sit down. I drink it… it’s the exact same. The only difference is the ice is mostly melted now. So I throw mine out. Then we wait: and wait. For 15 more minutes. And we see the people who got here after us get their sandwiches which is a little odd. Then we wait for 5 more and finally she walks up to me, no smile on her face and no eye contact. And hands me a brown bag. I said “thank you so much have a good day” and she just walks away and says nothing? Very rude 🥲

I'm telling you right now. The coffee in the restaurant is the best in town. Ive love it for years.

Picking up pastries for work friday and found this hidden gem in Owensboro! Service was very friendly. They helped navigate me on picking out pastries and my latte. I ended up ordering the cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant, blueberry lemon danish. (which I forgot to take pictures of SMH) and an iced blueberry muffin latte. They also had fresh lil’ bouquets for pick up which I thought was adorable! Will be back to try other items on the menu, along with other lattes!

I got a chicken salad croissant and a small oat milk latte. It cost $17. Coffee was good but the sandwich was small and dry. Felt like i was robbed. I don't mind paying extra for something delicious, but this was not it.

One of the top spots in Owensboro for exceptional sandwiches, coffee, and desserts. The sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant seasoned with everything bagel seasoning was particularly impressive. The Nutella iced coffee was delightful, and all the desserts were equally enjoyable. ?

Very enjoyable breakfast at Nikos for the wife and I this morning! She claims the best croissant that she has ever had. I got the Chipotle Steak Egg and Cheese on Ciabatta Bread and it was fabulous and full of flavor. Comfortable outdoor dining area.
