Nicely set up to be an emporium of sorts, very quaint. The staff was very friendly.

The attached bakery had only a handful of obviously store bought items for sale with inflated prices. In both cases, I would be willing to pay more money for handmade items, especially in the bakery. A missed opportunity to showcase a more unique or traditional line of products. Room for...
