North South Baking Company — Restaurant in Covington

My daughter and I had been waiting to try this place for several weeks until we finally got our chance. I didn't notice the logo from outside so I had a hard time finding it at first. I parked (paid for parking). We arrived an hour before closing. We ordered the bacon egg and cheese croissant. It was so delicious, the cheese is the stuff dreams are made of. We also split a lemon meringue tart and it was also magnificent. I was not super impressed by the staff as I had to interrupt them talking to get service. After ordering, we went to sit at a table to enjoy and a staff member walked over to tell us they were closing early. I really wish if they weren't going to stay open until their posted hours that they would have told me immediately. I wouldn't have paid for an hour of parking. The food was great and I will go back for it but I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling from the staff so I likely will not want to stay to...

A cute 2 door bakery with a soft dim atmosphere. Large potted plants decorate the interior and flowers are at every table in small jars. The pastries are delicious! My boyfriend absolutely loves the chocolate crossiants, and I don't think he is the only one! I know on days like Saturday if I don't go early enough they are sold out by the time I arrive. I personally love the rose pistachio croissant and the lavender miso cookies. Honestly I get pastries here probably more than I should, but they are just so good! I don't think I've ever had something here I didn't like. They also have pies, cake slices, breakfast Sammy's and even quiches! I know they rotate what items they make...

This is the second time I have been here, and both times I have not had a very pleasant experience with the staff. This Sunday, we came for a breakfast item, arrived over an hour before closing and were greeted, not with a friendly "Hello", but with a curt "we're sold out of pretty much everything." Maybe the guy had a too-busy day or another reason, but to just greet people nicely would have smoothed over the disappointment of coming all the way to the shop and find it pretty much empty. I keep hearing about the great bread and treats and friendly staff, so will have to give it another try, if I can make it in close to opening...
