“I usually have bad experiences with restaurants and shops, but this place is a place to remember as the room feels like you're walking into heaven for cookies and more. AMAZING customer service and kept really clean inside and outside really makes you feel welcome. And the cookies are made just the way you order them. Makes me feel happy!“

“The owner is so nice! We got to sample a matcha drink, vanilla cake, shortbread and the cheddar/chive biscuits, all so good! Highly recommend.“

“We had the fixed price lunch menu. There are many excellent choices for the main dish, two side dishes accompanying it, and dessert. I chose French Onion soup and the arugula salad with pecans, accompanied by Andre's in-house-made dressing. The main course was a fall harvest quiche with potatoes and apples, a locally made goat cheese, baked on a flaky crust. Wowie! Filling, hearty, and beautiful. I finished with a raspberry or strawberry fondant, over alternating layers of crisp pastry and a sweet, creamy filling! Amazing. And that is a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream on the side!“

“My daughter was in the hospital and she wanted crumbl soooo badly. I ordered her 6 large cookies and oh my gosh they were AH-MAZING. I wish I could afford it more often bc I'd leave a rave everytime lol. For the times we can afford it, it's the absolute best treat. The cheesecake was to DIE FOR!!!!! she loved the sprinkle cookie. I wish I knew what the frosting was bc I'd make it for every topping on every desert I make. It's so worth it.“

“Everything about this location is so unique, beautiful and very tastefully done! I have never had anything from here that did not eclipse what you could imagine about pastries and coffee! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“McLain's is the best! We use them for catering at my office often and they are always quick to respond, reliable, and work well with our needs! And their food is the best! Highly recommend 😊“

“My husband and I stopped in on a whim while in NKC. We had never visited McLain’s before. The staff was INSANELY kind and helpful! So many treats to choose. They recommended different options to us which we really appreciated. The danishes were DELICIOUS (probably one of the best I’ve had). This will be our go-to spot while in the northland!“

“After Fox and Bull's sourdough bread served as a key component for the best grilled cheese of my life this summer, when I grabbed some treats at the farmer's market in OP, I knew my life was about to change. The almond bear claw was an absolute delight, and the greatest challenge was eating it slowly and savoring it instead of inhaling it in one bite. And the chocolate chip croissant is so light and buttery and flaky, it might have been made by an actual angel. I seriously cannot recommend Fox and Bull enough.“

“Wow!! Such an incredible date night!! The warm sweet potato rolls were Perfection!! The old fashioned & the Strawberry bellini were delicious!! We ordered the duck & steak! Both grilled perfectly!! The duck had heirloom carrots with hazelnuts. The steak was served with beef fat potatoes! Seriously Delicious!! We took home a piece of the chocolate ganache cake. Can't wait to enjoy it later!! Everyone was so genuinely friendly & welcoming!!! This place is impeccably decorated!! It's Gorgeous!! Beautiful flowers too!! It's a truly a delight for all your senses!! Highly recommend!! Thank you so much for an Outstanding experience!!!“

“Gwen was so amazing and such a beautiful kind spirit. We had been in the hospital with my dad whom is a veteran for almost a month and she was so kind listening to my mom.“

“We hosted my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary celebration at Be Free Family Farm last Saturday, and I couldn’t recommend the venue highly enough. It was perfect. One of the best things about the space is how adaptable it is. I’d been to a high school grad party there before, and I can’t think of anything further from a 50th anniversary than that! Be Free fit both perfectly. We had around 100 people total, with about 60–70 at the peak, and it was a little crowded but in an energetic way if that makes sense. It was mid-July and pretty hot outside, but the indoor space stayed cool the whole time. I’d love to host something there in the fall with the garage doors open. I’m sure that’s the perfect balance. Carl, Jennifer, and Scott were fantastic. They helped with setup, made sure we had everything we needed (including things we didn’t think of until we got there). Carl was quick to offer a ride for guests from the parking lot since we were dealing with mostly older guests. Scott and Jennifer helped welcome people inside and out, literally opening doors and showing people around. The sound system was great. They helped me get it going, and now I obviously want a Sonos setup at home 💀💰💵 Shout out to Apple Music for the ‘1975 pop rock’ playlist that was an easy option for a 50th anniversary. We catered food from Zarda BBQ in Blue Springs. I picked it up myself and ordered for 60, but we ended up with more than enough. Be Free had some catering equipment that we used. Here’s a text I got from my mom, 1/2 of the guests of honor: “Everyone said it was a great party and it truly was. Perfect place, perfect food. So much fun.” If you’re planning an event check out Be Free Family Farm!“

“Went to an event and Eileen’s Cookies were at the table. I am not ashamed to say we took the extras. They were delicious!“

“Cake pops were exactly what I asked for. Super adorable and very delicious!! I was super impressed with the amazing quality and a great price too!!“

“My dad raves about this bread. When I visit home, I always stop in to stock up my parent's freezer. Their favorite is the unsliced Italian loaf. The store does not accept credit or debit cards...cash only. The guys who work here are helpful. Parking is a bit limited, but it's a very small shop. It's usually not very crowded. People can shop quickly and get in and out without any problem.“

“We ordered red velvet cupcakes and cookies for a birthday party for my partner. They were not only delicious but also beautiful. I forgot to snap a picture before they were devoured but everyone raved about how amazing they were!“

“Received two loaves Thursday. Both were wonderful. Lovely texture, taste, smell! I will order again, and again, and again... Thanks!“

“Amazing place! The service was amazing! The coffee was amazing! The croissant was AMAZING! and I could not forget my loaf of sourdough bread. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Delicious pastries for my pups!! 🐾♥️ I drive 2 hours to get here to get my pups treats. They love anything from here!!“

“My Daughter and I stopped here Jan 31, and Feb 6th both time we tried something new! Was so amazing!! A MUST go!!!“

“We ordered cinnamon roles to be picked up a day in advance for a brunch we were hosting. We had ordered from the catering menu. We received a call from store manager Eric the morning before picking up our order. He recognized that we were likely ordering food for the next day given our pickup time was 5pm. He talked to us about our order and revised it to cinnaPacks to save money. I felt this was great customer service to take the time to make these alterations to our order. I picked up my order and food was ready when I got there. Of course, the roles are delicious! And the cold brew was good too. I believe Cinnabon rolls are consistently good most places that you go. But customer service at this location takes it up a notch! Well done.“

“I had a hard day and needed a pick me up, so I decided to go get a cinnamon roll. It was exactly what I wanted, the pastry was hand rolled, dripping with cinnamon, sugar and butter. You could see each individual layer, simply baked with love! It was huge, well worth every penny, and I enjoyed every bite. The owner was in the kitchen and I asked if he would come over to meet me, he did and I complemented him on his food and the time and passion he put into each roll. We laughed and talked for a while. I told him that I drive past several locations just to specifically come to his because of the consistency of his products. He thanked me, I thanked him and my day was a little brighter!“
