I have definitely seen one or two of the older ladies in there be a bit rude to the customers in front of me. The other day the girl in there seemed poorly and just coughed on my stuff, which was not cool. Maybe wash your hands, wear a mask or some gloves before you grab that loaf (I understand there are factors that prevent you from staying home but its a bummer to think about whether the toaster will be hot enough to kill cold germs)
They just put their prices up again so we are in truly premium baked goods territory now and I got to say that makes me think twice about going in when some of the products are just okay and some can be a bit inconsistent.

Read moreGreat food as always however the service hear isn’t great. We came in a few weeks ago and was served by the same woman who was rude, impatience and acted like we were an inconvenience. But you never know what’s going on in someone’s life so just passed it off. Today exactly the same service from the same woman yet the person behind us was met with a smile and a warm welcome.
