Farm House Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Mount Vernon

I have been coming to this establishment for years. Usually I love it. I went today and it's an entirely different place almost. The staff was not inviting and seemed inconvenienced that we had come for lunch during lunch. There were only 2 tables seated during this time so it wasn't a rush or anything. We sat in the back in this beat up booth that overlooks the overflowing grease bin, barbwire fenced in AC and random car doors. Truly a wild sight to see. The booth itself is a caution to sit in. Best to sit on the support beam or you will fall into the seat a few inches. I ordered a creamy mushroom soup. It came with these weird balls of flour in it. Im not sure if these were supposed to be dumplings or what, but I felt like someone added flour to thicken it and left it in clumps. It was very bland and a little sweet which was strange. My friend received a tomato and mozzarella panini, the thing was dripping wet

The entire place just felt dirty. We couldn't get water to dispense that wasn't pink because it's shared with a Gatorade at the fountain. After a few unsavory bites, we just left.

Upon leaving I noticed their letterboard said: OPEN BURGERS ARE BACK I SEE YOU FOR A GOOD YEAR CAL 1 0

This should've been the first sign that this place had changed because what in the heck does that sign even mean. I see you?? For a good year??

0/10.

This is NOT the farmhouse standards I recall in the years past. I am only posting this review because after a little bit, I had the runs and felt awful. I can't say it's food poisoning but something ain't...

I wish i could give this place 0 stars. If you have social anxiety or generally like calm, relaxing cafe spots this place is not for you. When I went the first time the employees were unhelpful but I brushed it off as them having a lot of work to do and being rushed. Boba was inauthentic and literally curdled as I drank it so I had to throw away 6 dollars. The second time I went recently, my baby brother and I were glared at by an employee as soon as we walked in, no greeting or help, immediately felt like we weren't welcome and I could sense my little brother's discomfort as he needed to use the restroom and the lady at the front (who was playing with her phone) scowled at him for asking. We were going to get a treat and the hostility ruined our day out. Not to mention, their duck taped toilet didn't even work. Bathroom was disgusting as if neglected for years. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a cockroach infestation or food safety violations from how neglected the bathroom was. We decided to get something from the discount table, but I guess because of the looks that one employee was giving us, we had to pay full price for something old and stale. Even cardboard would have more flavor than whatever they overcharged us for. Overall very rude to young children for whatever reason. If the employees are having a bad day they will take it out on you and overcharge you. Do...

It amazes me how restaurants treat doordashers, as if we aren’t locals who could potentially turn into a customer. I picked up an order here for doordash, I waited in line for over 10 minutes. When I finally reached the front, I told the lady I had a doordash order and tried to say I had a few questions for her, but she dismissed me completed and said okay it’ll be ready in a minute and walked away. When she walked back towards the register I said “hi I actually had a few questions”, dismissed me again and said “no just a minute” and then handed out an order to a customer. I had a question about their business hours because DoorDash wanted to know, but what I really wanted to know the prices on their donuts/cookies because they looked good, and I knew my kiddos would love them. I was shocked how she completely shut me down twice, but the women in line behind me knew her personally and wanted to sit in the back so they walked out of line, went up to her while she was dropping off food to a table and she answered her question without dismissing her. Linda even let them sit in the back just like they wanted. I didn’t even care support this business after the way she dismissed me because I’m a DoorDash driver. I arrived at 930 for a 935 pick up, and I didn’t leave until 955. Extremely slow, and rude won’t be supporting here or accepting any orders from here...
