The food was a huge disappointment. The French toast has no flavor. The biscuit in the biscuits and gravy was good but the gravy was like paste. The home fries tasted like they had been sitting under the heat lamp for a long time. And the latte tasted like hot milk.

I have so much to say. It wouldn’t fit here. OVERALL 1/10. Food specially it’s a 1/10 service at the front is bad they won’t even give you accurate information about the menu. Zero to no sitting space and they will still let you choose “in diner”. OUTRAGEOUS prices for the taste of the food and specially the quantity!!!!!!!!

The ambiance is great, making you want to stay and enjoy the space for a while. However, the prices are on the higher side, and the coffee is disappointing. I tried several options, and none met expectations. Additionally, having oat milk as the default without informing customers feels misleading.

This was a quaint little spot to grab breakfast on a Monday morning. It was nice to sit down and really relax while I had a nice little breakfast sandwich. It was a bit pricey, but that's not really a factor for me because everything in this area basically is.
They have condiments like ketchup and salt and pepper in a little shelf area to the right of where you order.
The hash browns were made with peppers and they were nice and crispy. I added a little ketchup to them and enjoyed it. The breakfast sandwich had a nice egg and the bacon was very crispy as well. I would recommend this place again.

Good food, but almost 30 bucks for a salad? Come on now. That’s ridiculous.

I’ve been eating at this location for years and it’s seemingly going downhill. So I’m updating my review. I tried to change the bread for one of the sandwiches and randomly, they refused to change the bread. I’ve literally been ordering the same sandwich for years and the start of 2025, they no longer make menu modifications? What kind of restaurant doesn’t let you make changes to the food or customize an order? So strange but yeah, definitely ordering from a different bakery.

I’ve been a regular customer for the last 3 years, and I’ve been ordering the same exact thing since then, for some odd reason they refused to make my sandwich saying they never done it the way I usually order it, very disapointed after all the money I spent, never coming back if this is how they treat their regular customers.

We ate a junction, bakery for dinner in their new renovated space a couple months ago. The food was consistent with their breakfast/bakery products and very good. One thing that was a bit disappointing was that all three of us had cocktails and felt they lacked a reasonable amount of alcohol in them. We actually asked a couple that were sitting next to us and they said the same thing. Hopefully Junction can fix this issue.

Pastries were the best thing there. Food was above mediocre. Got the tomato soup which was watery. Buscuits and gravy was good, but after a few bites tasted salty. Breakfast sandwich was good. The coffee was real disappointment. Coffee tasted burnt and weak. Mocha latte tasted watery and bland. Would give it a higher rating if coffee was better. Seats are open seating, no one seats you. You can order at the counter where they give you separate table numbers or online through QR code with table numbers already at the table. Waiter brings out food. Self service for utensils, salt/pepper, napkins, takeout box. Would only recommend for pastries.

Bought a nice big croffin that they stuffed in a box that was too small. The croffins top was smeared all over the inside of box. Get packaging that fits your pastries.
Also Prices are way too high and vegan options are very limited

Staff couldn't tell me what was dairy free so I wasn't able to eat here. Very disappointing as the food looked really good.
While visiting recently, I noticed Junction. The experience was fair. I ordered fries which were super fresh and hot. I ordered a lemon drop martini, which was also solid. Finally, I ordered the Hazelnut muffin which is also decent.
The service was okay. It felt like it could’ve been excellent but everyone seem’d out of it. I had to ask for silverware and where to grab a drink. That was different.
Overall, it was an okay experience. I’m sure it’s probably better when there’s more of a crowd.

Hit or miss it’s kind of good enough food, pastries and 1-2 menu items are pretty good but overall mid
Super cool spot, especially in the back of the bakery!

Updating after multiple years. Always enjoy the food, whether it's a pastry, a fresh loaf, or dinner. They have good baristas and never an issue with our orders. Sometimes dine in and sometimes just pickup.
