Rush City Bakery — Restaurant in Rush City

I visited Rush City Bakery for the 1st time and unfortunately it was very small, dirty, not well lit and sadly everyone who worked there seemed very unhappy to be there. I observed a woman in her early 20’s approach a lady behind the counter inquiring the price of a dozen cupcakes and the response from the cashier was an eye roll and a shoulder shrug.
