Wonderful and funky place! Stopped in and got coffee and a cinnamon roll this morning! Will definitely be back to check out the bar and again to have ice cream!
We recently visited this establishment after calling and asking about gluten free options. We were told they had lots of items available. When we arrived, they only had 2 gluten free things. I got a muffin and it was very dry. Another member of our group ordered a cinnamon roll and it was also dry and tasted old. I got a latte and it just tasted like warm milk with no coffee. I also felt that the person working the register was not very patient. My daughter got a drink that had no flavor at all. I went and asked for a few more pumps of flavor because it tasted like nothing. She seemed very annoyed and impatient with me.The atmosphere is not very warm and welcoming. There is a large gambling machine in the room and a counter with alcoholic drinks. I am guessing it is also a bar at night?Sadly, this is not a place I would describe as a bakery.
I've tried to stop here multiple times in the past, but they have always been closed. I finally caught them open. I bought a mini loaf of gluten free pumpkin bread for $10, a gluten free chocolate chip cookie for $6, and two long johns for $6. The donuts were the only ones with prices listed. The donuts were okay. The frosting tasted a little different and I wasn't really a fan. My daughter said the pumpkin bread was dry, but after adding butter, it was good. But I was shocked at the prices. It's a splurge we won't be doing often.
Over the past few years I have been ordering a cheesecake from the Roasted Bliss for an annual event. Everyone who was fortunate enough to eat a slice really enjoyed every bite! Ali, Stephanie and the entire staff are always friendly, helpful and enthusiastic!

I really want to love this place. This is a great place to meet friends and chat. Their coffee drinks, except for the drip brew of the day, are all made from espresso, and are pretty strong brews. So if you are a light blend person, you will not like the drinks here: have them put a lot of milk/milk substitute in your drink. The ice cream is really good though.However, it is hard to hear each other with a group of more than four people - it is a very echo-y space, and downright loud with more than ten total customers. They could improve on this quite a bit by just putting up some soft fabric wall hangings in a couple of spots, or something else to cut down on the reverberation of brewing noise and conversation.The other thing that takes away from the perfection of the atmosphere and the employees, is that they have very little actual food. What they have is donuts, pastries and maybe cookies. There are pretty much no foods available that are not sweet treats. Fine for a quick stop for coffee of the day and stuff like that, or a mid - morning chat. But you can't really eat here and come away feeling like you have "eaten". They also close at one pm. If you come in after 10 a.m. on a Saturday, they are almost as likely to be out of most pastries as they are to have more than two to choose from.
I ordered a better than sex cake for a party and it was phenomenal! Everyone went back for seconds and the cake was gone immediately!I've also ordered gluten free products and they taste amazing!!! I highly recommend Roasted Bliss!!
A good cup of regular black coffee. One problem: There's an unwritten "Law of the Café." When someone comes in, and wants only a simple cup of black coffee, DON'T KEEP THEM WAITING 20 MINUTES WHILE GETTING EVERYONE ELSE'S FANCY DRINKS AND FOOD!!! Take the money, grab the cup, fill it, and hand it to the customer!.Thank you!

Such a fun environment with delicious treats and drinks. Great spot for a coffee date
Quality does not match the price. Eight dollars for a sad, small, microwaved breakfast sandwich left me feeling robbed. Seriously, kwick trip has better breakfast sandwich for less than half the price.My chia latte on the other hand was very good and price comparable to caribou.
I just visited this place for the first time this morning and I can’t get over the raspberry white chocolate chip scone! A little piece of heaven to start the day with!! The latte I ordered was also delicious :) Highly recommend!

They aren’t always open when the sign or website says they should be but more importantly they charge $5 for their pastries ..cinnamon rolls, muffins etc but their cinnamon rolls were hard and dry, their danishes were thin and flat and their muffin was crumbly, not moist at all. I was super disappointed. P.s I gave an extra star for my appreciation for small businesses.

We came at 9:40 on Wednesday May 24th. They were closed, but according to their posted times they should have been opened. Nothing on any of their social media, their website, or their voicemail indicating why they would be closed. We’ve been excited to finally have a day to come and try a flight of coffees during their pretty limited hours, but since they randomly weren’t open obviously that didn’t happen.
Very friendly staff, greeted right when I walked in and was helped right away! Big selection of pastries and other bakery items, coffee was made and brought to me quickly.
Very friendly staff and they have a great gluten free selection!
