The breakfast sandwich is in a league of its own. Freshly baked blueberry muffins and pop tarts are also a real treat!

Cute spot! Local run (small) operation but a lot of care. Notable was the breakfast sandwich with a really awesome brioche bun which was kind of like a biscuit on the bottom.

I ordered online and then my office mate asked to add to the order so I went over prior to pick up
Time to see if I could add to the order. The Persian at the counter noted I was early for the pickup time and I explained I wasn’t trying to pick up my order early, just trying to see if I could add to it for my office mate. The person at the counter went out back to ask if I could add to the order and the person in the back started yelling “she is twenty minutes early. Tell her the pickup time is the pickup time and she isn’t getting it early!!” Again, I was not trying to pick my order up early, I was doing as asked on their website and adding to the order in person which I explained to the counter person twice.
I got a refund and left, go elsewhere. Not interested in spending $13 for an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and getting yelled at for it.

Every single thing here is absolutely delicious. My husband and I have been coming here for the last couple of years. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing, blueberry muffins are wonderful (and I don’t typically like blueberry muffins), their granola bars are so good I order them in bulk, overnight oats are the best on the way to the ski mountain, and can’t ever resist a cinnamon roll.Lisa is super friendly and nice and the owner/chef is always posting adorable videos of her dog and enticing bakery items. I love that they are only open a few days a week otherwise I’d be spending way too much money there!

I wrote the first yelp review of Henders way back in 2016. Gave her 5 stars. I've been a frequent customer throughout the years. Unfortunately I will never shop there again. The owner is abusive. The first time she yelled at me I let it go. I figured she was stressed out. The second time was a couple weeks ago. Spent $100 on cookies and she yelled at me from the kitchen for not ordering ahead of time. I tried to explain there was something up with the website, but she didn't want to hear it. Said it was a personal problem. The third time she yelled at me was just a few days ago. I ordered $90 on cookies a little after 9am. Website said they'd be ready at 9:40. We went in around 10:15. Cookies weren't ready and she screamed at us again from the kitchen that we had all f’ing week to order the cookies. I'm done. She just lost a customer that has spent hundreds of dollars at her store. She also lost my family who also spent lots of money there. What a shame. I’m sure she’ll leave a nasty reply to this review. Who does that?

Toxic owner which leads to frequent staff turnover and a stressful customer experience but the food is quite exceptional. Real Sophie's Choice deciding to go here.

I randomly stopped here and the salami sandwich was incredible. The bread is on another level. I will be coming back here soon.
