While the prices are not always listed on the menu I did not expect to pay $15 for a croissant.
I kid you not $15 for a croissant. Albeit almond banana I would certainly not have paid $15 if I knew its price.
Also don’t get the banana bread (very dry)

They have to have the best cookies I've ever had. The flavor and texture are just what I need after a long day. The buttercream frosting is insanely delicious. Honestly worth the wait getting there early to beat the long line so you get what you want.

We came before close on Saturday and everything I got was so delicious. I have been wanting to come for so long I didn’t really care what they had left. You can taste that everything is baked and made from scratch. I am not vegan but their vegan pastries were surprisingly really really good. Next time I will make sure Im first in line! Haha

I've been wanting to come here for several months, but my husband just doesn't want to make the hour round trip drive for a pastry. He was out of town today, and I decided today was the day. I didn't make it there early, so many things were already sold out, but everything I had was so worth the trip. I can be VERY disappointed if a baked good doesn't live up to expectations (especially when I have to drive), and I had high expectations, but they were exceeded. The two people I interacted with were very friendly, and I can't wait until they have a sit down space to make it a destination. (Best wishes to your manager and their cancer battle)

Best kept secret for vegan pastries. They have an extensive menu of vegan and non-vegan treats, but for those seeking fresh baked vegan treats, this is the place for you. From cake square to scones, cookies, and shortbreads, you’ll never be at a shortage of delicious choices when you go. It’s been my go-to bakery for years, and the staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming.
I absolutely love Jen's! They have absolutely phenomenal pastries and the staff is lovely. The line is usually pretty long, so get there early so the fun specials don't sell out before you arrive. Also the line moves quickly and food comes out quickly so do not let the line scare you. It's 12/10 worth the wait.

The food is unique and fun and unbelievably tasty and while I'm giving five stars for service and atmosphere currently they do not have an indoor area so they have an attendance outside and they are always friendly and it's difficult to speak to atmosphere because it's a sidewalk, but I understand that at some point in time, they may be opening an indoor area and I expect that the service in atmosphere will be consistent with the high-quality food that they prepare. This is worth it in every way to go here, even though they're only open for sales to the public in the weekends, make sure to get there early to have the best selection of what is some of the most innovative pastries I've seen.

Vegans, go here! My tip? Ask if there are any specials left ❤️ I showed up out of the blue and was treated like a regular 🧁 Will return for the maple bar (surprisingly vegan too) 🍁

This place is a hidden gem with delicious pastries and friendly staff. Though not everything is vegan, they usually have 6-8 vegan pastries each week. In the winter it’s often scones and shortbreads - which are amazing - such as lavender blackberry, strawberry matcha, apple cider cardamom, lemon poppy rose, and maple. In the summer you’ll see more cookies - like snickerdoodle, oatmeal, and ginger molasses. They even have surprise treats now and then, like muffins and enormous vegan cake slices. Currently they’re only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00-1:00, and you’ll battle a long line the earlier you go. Vegan treats usually don’t sell out, so going around 10:00 or 10:30 eliminates the longer lines so that you can sneak in and get your treats quickly. They’re opening a regular store front in 2026, so I’m hopeful there will be even more vegan desserts coming up. And remember…the more of you who go and buy vegan desserts, the more they’ll expand those offerings! By the way - this places deserves 5 stars, but Happy Cow only allows 5 stars for fully vegan places. 🙄 Updated from previous review on 2026-01-11
INCREDIBLE pastries, seriously probably the best I’ve ever had. We got some savory and some sweet options, both equally delicious. Staff was also super kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the Earl Grey Lemon cookie if it’s available!
