Ivy Lane Bakery — Restaurant in Bloomington

Will no longer be supporting. Way to push out a customer providing a 20th of revenue by coming every day for 2 weeks. I would come here spending no less than about $10 a trip to be met with hostile attitudes today. I told others that I was going to bring them goodies to try back home. Now I am not. I try to advocate for young adults to be in leadership positions, but given the fact that young females seem to be the WORST of employees ever to run anything in my personal and work experience, I highly question it. Also, it is hard to support family owned businesses because it seems like they have trouble disciplining people at the establishment because of the relationship. I think her daughter was the one so likely nothing will happen. I was paying the price of half a normal pie for a tiny piece of quiche which I did not mind at first, but they then cut it so tiny there was no food in it barely. I promise I finished in 2 bites that last few times. It was burnt crispy at the top the cheddar and motz and broccoli but I ignored that. Then they brought it out cold today and yelled because I did not "wear a mask walking around their store", however everyone is sitting not a foot away from each other at the tables with no masks. I just do not see the logic. Funny how that has not been a problem all the while I have been coming here for the past two weeks. They did nothing but gossip in the back, that is what young females do they talk too much, a well committed customer does not deserve it. When I asked about a peanut allergy the young girl was snappy. It is a simple question, would you rather my sister die??? I am assuming so. What I realized is that some people get spoiled by dedicated customers and stop appreciating them. The last business that does this has a capacity of 15/100 percent and would not be surprised if they closed. Starbucks is always good to me...

Definitely the best scone I've ever eaten. I was beginning to think I just didn't like scones up until now.

To be honest, the "Game of Scones" street sign pun caught my attention and I walked into this place for the first time. Staff was friendly and the baker in the back had a really warm smile which is always nice to come across on a tired morning.

So glad this place opened up!

I will say as my one thing for constructive feedback would be that although the menu up on the back wall looks really cool and vintage as a display, I personally found it hard to read to quickly find prices on the items on display. Maybe it's just me though. Also, the front countertop appeared a bit empty, so it was unusual that the credit card machine would be kept far way (unless maybe the intent was that when ringing up the order, you come around the side...

We've been eating cookies from here every so often for several years. Then when Covid-19 sent a lot of people home to "hibernate" around March of 2020, my husband and I have made WEEKLY trips--from out of town--to Ivy Lane for either a dozen or 1/2 dozen cookies. I'm totally a chocoholic and love their chocolate chip cookies, but I also have to get myself a sugar cookie as they are sone of the best! We don't even get 5 mins down the road before I scarf down a cookie. I'm sure I've packed on several pounds because of it, but it's been worth it. Also, I have tried a lot of different bakeries in other towns and other states, and I would still say this is without a doubt my favorite cookie bakery. Their specialty cookies are very good too! Can't wait til they open again in 2022 after a well deserved break over the...
