Exceptional quality, taste, service and good prices. Great for a weekend visit for a light breakfast or lunch or for coffee/deserts .
Bread: Let's start with their bread. Even a regular loaf of whole wheat or white bread tastes great. Baked fresh and so good you'll catch your self eating a few slices before reaching home. I have a hard time convincing myself to buy supermarket bread instead.
Desserts: I see very few places that do brownies well. This bakery does a heavenly one and they also have other great pastries including exceptional croissants and a great queen Elizabeth cakes.

But when I ordered a chilled cheese I got a cheese sandwich without the grill. Had to go back and ask them to grill it. Glad I checked. The guy didn't even suggest or ask if I'd like them to grill/warm it up or not so i assumed they'd take care of it. I'm not sure if I should've specified I'd like a grilled cheese, grilled. Not impressed with the service at all. Some of the staff didnt seem like they wanted to do their job. Also their selection of bakeries and sandwiches seemed to be very limited. Only one sandwich with protein and very basic (ham &...
