This is a cute, very early morning bakery. The husband and wife team are very nice, and it's a good place to get a morning pastry... The Stoner's Cheesecake is formidable in size and ingredients. Worth experiencing.
The best pastry was the almond croissant type muffin, albeit a tad smaller than a usual almond croissant.
The cinnamon roll was similar pastry to the croissant, with very light cinnamon filling and very light glaze.
The Mocha croissant muffin type pastry is very nice dough, similar to the almond croissant, the glaze is like a chocolate donut.
They had many other things to sample...I just focused on these for this visit.
The one cup of coffee I had didn't do it for me, but I admit I have a Nespresso at home and rarely like commercial coffee.
Everything here is clearly made with love, and attention. Highly recommend it, and can't wait to try new things next visit...

Key lime croissant, monkey bread, hippo bread (just a 1 lb version of the monkey bread), peanut butter chocolate cheesecake, cherry pie cheesecake, stoner cheesecake, butterfly croissant with strawberry icing, cheese danish. The owner was awesome, he had sourdough bread that we tried for free and it was FANTASTIC. Do not sleep on that! We ended up making so many sandwiches with it.
Additionally, it was so good that the day we were leaving I ran over there and got monkey bread and sourdough bread. I had to bring some home!

Our family loves this spot so much because everything is fresh, soft, buttery and damn delightful. Faves include almond buttercream star cookies, jalapeño cheddar biscuits, thumbprint cookies, any of the pies, anything key lime or lemon, anything with big fat chunks of chocolate and the sandwich cookies.
We have tried so many things over the past few years and have NEVER been disappointed. For context, sweets are my jam. I’m a novice baker myself, lived in NYC and DC, traveled many continents (ive gotten a liiiittle picky) and I’m often a victim of the meh pastry. Every time I get something here, I am beyond delighted and impressed. Every. Time.
Anyway, we love it. Go there and...
