I've purchased goods from the public market location, and they were ok. The bean pie, butternut squash pie, and some of the cookies are good, but the banana bread was a let down. No one in my family, 4 people, enjoyed the banana bread, so I assumed I got one from an older batch. I went in today, and nope, the in store ones looked exactly the same, so I wasn't willing to try it again. Surprisingly this bakery didn't have many more selections than what is offered at the market, so I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here again. In store the had a small lunch combo, which seemed a bit pricey ($18.99)for rice, lentil soup and cabbage. The soup was phenomenal, I would definitley have that again, the rice was extremely undercooked but seasoned well. I had to add about 1 cup of water and cook the rice for another 10-12 minutes at home. I did not try the cabbage, so I can't speak to the flavor, but it looked ok. I did have the hibiscus drink, which didn't have a robust hibiscus flavor that I'm used to, but it was drinkable, though I wouldn't order again.
The customer service is really what leaned the scale towards 3 stars for me. The young man was not rude, but also wasn't pleasant. I know most young adults are building customer service skills, but it's important to have someone with quality people skills at the front of the store. If the food isn't the greatest, but customer service is top tier I am likely to give the establishment a 2nd and even 3rd chance. This restaurant did not meet that standard.
Overall, the restaurant was cute and clean, but could have more variety and better customer service. I would recommend the pies and cookies,...

The cookie was moist and chewy and the pecan tart was excellent. The owner clearly loves what he does! Definitely don’t hesitate to check this place. Don’t be put off by the beans: they’re terrific in baked goods and you can’t taste them at all, and they add fibre and protein. I would say that even people who don’t typically like healthy baked goods would like these. They’re still plenty sweet and they have great textures. Wish I would have picked up a loaf of...
Read moreDELICIOUS! I am obsessed with the cookies! Don’t let the words “healthy”, “gluten free”, or “vegan” scare you away. The cookies are amazing. The pecan pie is a favorite of mine. I’m gluten free and I feel spoiled getting to choose from so many options that are all so so so good. My boyfriend is not gluten free and is a connoisseur of chocolate chip cookies. Taste of Supreme are his new favorite for chocolate chip cookies (two at a time… they don’t make it home as they are both eaten during the car ride). And try the bean pie- just try it! It’s so unique and hard to describe- but...
