Delightful little bakery with friendly service. The blueberry crumble was delicious and the caramel latte was delicious.

If you are looking for a quiet corner to enjoy your coffee, this might be it. However, it’s not the kind of quiet I’d prefer, feeling empty rather. Only a few customers visited when I was there, maybe the time of the day. Plenty of off street parking spaces. If you are planing for studying there…no public restroom for customers.

Not good for ordering a cake but great to walk in. Their sweets are not too sweet and not heavy! I love their sweet and pastry and also their coffee. HOWEVER, I wanted to order a customized cake and I believe I talked directly to the owner but she was rude and ended up charging me extra for some little sprinkles! I asked her to at least use more sprinkles but she ignored my request. Will def but from their pastry in shop but will never order customized cakes from them
This has been our go to bakery for birthday cakes. A bunch of great options - strawberry snowflake is our favorite one.
Very good coffee choices and alternative milks. Many dessert choices including vegan and gluten free options. Very, very expensive for a cupcake. Understandable for increases in prices of product but $8.00 for a cupcake?
Good cappuccino, small space, usually quiet. Excellent place to catch up on reading.
Chill place. Great coffee drinks. Broad array of desserts to choose from too!

WOW!!! TOTALLY WORTH A STOP!!! Got a breakfast sandwich later in the day and it was great , also got a few bakery items that were great as well and wanted to try many more of them ,there were alot to choose from and all looked delicious, the coffee was awesome as well , there cakes look amazing as well ,the lady behind the counter was great and super helpfull ,I would highly recomend this .
The employee taking my initial order failed to write down that I requested/showed pictures of a naked frosted design, so I didn’t receive what I envisioned and they weren’t really accommodating in offering to fix it for me. She also stated they couldn’t do a funfetti flavored cake, even though it’s listed on their website as an option.. luckily, the cake and frosting itself was very yummy, but I just wasn’t overly impressed with their service level.
Cakes look great but it’s all fondant frosting and the cakes themselves nothing great. The cupcakes are huge but greasy and like lead. Nice physical place and had no issues with service but the cakes and cupcakes look great but really don’t taste good.
I ordered 4 cupcakes today and they were decorated beautifully. One was a yellow cake with a beautiful red rose frosted top! It really was beautiful but the cake tasted like there was too much salt and the frosting was....honestly not sweet at all like frosting should. The other one we ate tonight was a raspberry white cupcake and it was a let down too, just too much raspberry flavor and again the frosting wasn't very good! We have 2 more left ( chocolate love and red velvet) and I hope for $24 we get at least half that we love the taste of!
Others have brought treats to work to share from the Bean Counter, but this was my first time going there myself. Such a cozy cafe! The staff were pleasant, and helped detective all the wonderful treats. The peanut butter/chocolate layer cake was wonderful. Just the right size for a treat, not too large, not too small. My wife had the the vegan oatmeal whoopie pie, and found it to be delicious and filling as well. The coffee was rich and flavorful. It was a delight to have a warm treat on a cold winter morning.
