The Bakery — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I grew up with the original bakery and it’s always been a staple to this neighborhood. Seeing it open again with the traditional donut recipes and a whole new drink menu and atmosphere is a joy to see! The newest owner (also a local,) is a passionate business entrepreneur who spent a lot of time dedicated to researching the best quality coffee beans he could come across and honed in on the passed-down donut recipes granted to him by the previous owners.

While the staff wasn't outright rude, there was an odd undercurrent that made me feel less than welcome. I had initially planned to enjoy a pastry and coffee, soaking up the atmosphere and capturing some Instagram-worthy moments. However, I ended up simply grabbing my order and leaving. The Caramel Apple Latte was decent, but it lacked the fall spice flavor I had anticipated. Despite the cafe's beautiful decor and inviting lighting, I didn't feel the warmth and hospitality that would encourage me to return for a leisurely...
