I was here earlier today while running my errands. I went in and asked for 2 whole wheat THICK cut loaves if bread. I believe the woman I was dealing with was Dawn, head off sales. She confirmed THICK sliced, I said yes. She reached behind her and grabbed 2 loaves of pre cut bread. I asked if they were THICK, she said yes. I paid for my items and left.

I wasn't overly impressed visually, with the hot cross buns being thrown in the bag, all piled up, but this was easily overlooked by how delicious they taste. My preference is having them packaged flat in the bag. Both visually appealing and the buns remained soft for days. Grab yourself a 6 pack, you will not be...
Read moreCobs has been my daily go-to spot for years, and in addition to this neighborhood gem, I frequent a few other locations. However, this particular one exudes a unique warmth and kindness, from the owner, Tony, to the entire staff.
