I come here a few times a week. Staff is really friendly and helpful , the sandwiches and baked goods are consistently good and fairly priced.

Been a customer for 15 years. The ham and cheese croissant has changed. Now there's a thick layer of stone ground mustard on the sandwich, which makes it literally a mustard sandwich and inedible. PLEASE CHANGE THIS. The mustard was so heavy handed I had to scrap off what I could to eat it! This is not the breakfast sandwich! This is the ham and cheese croissant in the case! I want my money back!

Been eyeing to come to this location for the longest time, glad to finally dropby. The iniside is modern but cozy with light wooden interior. It's pretty bustling with constant traffic all morning. We went specifically on a Friday to grab their Challah loaf that I've been thinking about for 5 months since I last had a taste. I love how fluffy the inside of the challah is. Also got a very solid crust on the outside. I ate a third of it straight and saving the rest for bread pudding. We also got some coffee and their Special Sasquatch Sausage Sandwich to share. The sandwich was AMAZING. Some of the best sandwiches I've had. Evenly toasted on both sides and filled with gooey gouda cheese, slices of well-roasted and sweet butternutsquash and a sausage patty. This was a big dub, wish they would have it all the time. We'll be back to visit this spot for sure!

I had a ginger snap cookie and it was so lovely! The breads are really well made and the space is big enough for friends and brunch. Counter service.

Had the egg and cheese biscuit and bacon egg and cheese roll. Both were great and the coffee was delicious.

The food is good here, but very expensive. $14 for a sandwich? $8 for a loaf of bread? They ask for a tip on top of that, even though you are expected to bus your own table.

One of the best bakeries ever, and I love my bakeries. Bread, pastries, muffins, pies, cookies, breakfast sandwiches, coffee. ? The staff is always kind, but on the efficient side, which is good. I’ve been to three different locations and they are all unique and enjoyable environments.

I love the coffee, it’s delicious, however I was charged an extra dollar on my americano because I asked for a splash of oat milk. I completely understand having to pay the dollar upcharge for non-dairy milk in a latte, but to be charged a dollar for an oz of oat milk??

We loved their cinnamon rolls. They were sold out the day before Thanksgiving of most bread options, but managed to grab a few items for our family Thanksgiving dinner. On our second visit, we had to have more cinnamon rolls and also enjoyed a delicious latte. Bonus to this location is the farmers market adjacent to it. A two for one deal. A little sinfulness and plenty of fruits and veggies to counter the simple guilty pleasures this world has to offer.

Good food and drinks, friendly quick service, and a very comfortable dining area. First time having a quick bite here definitely recommend. All pastry's looked delicious and a great menu to order from.
