I called a day ahead to see what time they were opened, a women told me at 7:am (as this was my first time going to this place). I was there at 7:10am today, when I got there (two customers were already coming out with items they bought) this person /staff came over and literally closed the door on our faces. He said “I’m not ready to serve people”. He had a customer paying for an item in the store and shut the door on us!!!
Told him that we were told they opened at 7:am, he replied “no we open at 7:30am” and closed the door.
Every customer that came out and the one that stayed in the store were white and this staff person shut the door on 3 Hispanics. Took our money to somewhere else and will not go ever into this place. And will make sure to tell others about my experience! I have never experienced this type of treatment in any establishment in JP; as I lived in this neighborhood for...

When I raised my complaint she ignored the question and said "what would you like." Deadpan and challenging.
I ordered my baguette. It will be my last one. Rudeness does not get rewarded...

On a serene Saturday morning stroll through JP, I stumbled upon this charming bakery. It had a cozy, small-town bakery vibe, and manning the counter was an elderly lady, whose skilled hands and warm smile hinted at years of perfecting the art of home-style baking.
Since pies seemed to be their specialty, I opted for a small pecan pie along with an assortment of small pastries. The almond croissant was decent, but the pecan pie was exceptional. It was everything a classic pecan pie should be: not excessively sweet, with a moist filling wrapped in a perfectly baked crust. Some of my other favorites included the chocolate cupcake and the halva bomb.
If you're in a mood for the comfort of traditional American pies and homemade pastries, Blue Frog is definitely...
