We've stopped in before for pastries which were good but breakfast was a disaster. No one in there except for myself & husband placing order. Then local walks in & mature woman tells counter girl how he takes his bagel, another person in for prepared salads to and so on. You get the picture. Meanwhile my husband & I are still waiting for our meal. Breakfast should have been out to us by the third person. You need to revise the menu you serve or get additional kitchen help.

I asked what was on the Cuban sandwich, I didn’t actually order it. They put the order in but never gave me a choice of bread and being it was rye I cannot eat seeds as I have an allergy to them. So I had to pick each seed out.They should have asked if I wanted it on a roll, etc. Or better yet tell me what it was on so I would know if it had seeds. Just don’t say “Cuban sandwich” and no description. Even one of the girls didn’t know what was on it. I also got a few smiley face cookies. They were not good. Very dry and zero taste.The older women there were SO rude and short tempered. Didn’t smile whatsoever. Everyone looked miserable. They should be thankful people are giving them business. In fact my friend had raved about how great it is. I’d like to know how long ago that was because one of the older ladies looked as if she had never smiled or enjoyed life at all.This was my first and last time going there. I hear such “great” reviews but the service was horrible. They acted as if you are inconveniencing them.

I have no good things to say here. It’s actually shocking how bad it was. The general non friendliness/ hostility there aside, I got a plain roast beef sandwich on rye and a rum ball. As a deli you’d really have to try hard to screw that up.The bread was so dry as to be crunchy and the roast beef was equally as dry and difficult to swallow. I ate half and am throwing the rest away out of concern of food safety issues. Why not get fresh food for your establishment?The rum ball is just pure sugar and cheap chocolate.The kicker - the absolute mind blowing kicker is that a small inedible sandwich and one - ONE rum ball cost me $15.00 FIFTEEN DOLLARS?! Are you kidding?Every other deli in the area has decent sandwiches for $7. This was not worth that - So is a rum ball $8?! EIGHT DOLLARS?! I need answers here. How do people get away with this?As a final note - no bags? Why should people fumble with dry sandwiches, an $8 rum ball and orange coleslaw while finding their car keys. I’m not asking for the world here, just to get edible food and a bag. This was shamefully bad.

So bad!!! Disgusting roast beef on old dry bread. I got a rum ball that was pure sugar and waxy sugar chocolate that a kid wouldn't eat. Someone said this was the best in the area ---then how bad are the other places? It was $15 for a plain small sandwich and 1 rum ball. Neither were edible or looked safe to eat. How does anyone recommend this place - it's disgusting and dirty. For bonus points the woman who helped me clearly hated her job and was hostile. All in all - if you ate slosh at a pig farm it would be fresher and cleaner.

My son LOVES the rum balls here! However, the eclairs and cannolis are my favorites. Great place to pick up some tasty treats.
Cynthia B.
Great breads, cakes, pastries, muffins and brownies. Cookies are okay.We have not tried the deli or the frozen sections.

Jacqueline and Richard bake and serve food with love and enthusiasm. Best Apple Pie you will ever have! Absolutely fantastic freshly made bread, pies, pastries, cakes, cookies, and did I mention the world famous eclairs, (a combination of Boston cream and custard) WOW!! Places like this rarely exist anymore. Best breakfast and lunch spot one could imagine if you are looking for authenticity, freshness, and enthusiastic owner/operators).
Although it's a half-hour drive from home, we make the pilgrimage with some regularity. While they are a very good deli, we go there for their bakery offerings. Whenever we bring Yelliw Cottage cakes ir pastries to a gathering of family or friends, they're always met with a similar question: These are incredible; Where did you get them?We brought their signature Brown Derby cake to a friend's house this past weekend, and it was incredible!

Good pies and cakes for decades. The brown bonnet cake is great and the apple pies are always tasty.
Bill Sharp
Fantastic baked goods, rolls, pastries, cakes, donuts, muffins, cookies, it's all great. Going to be a new regular stop when we are camping in the area.

Not from the area stopped in based on reviews. Person who waited on me was very rude and unfriendly! Seemed annoyed with my questions. I asked what their hours were " 5 it's on the door"
