Baristas were very friendly and nice, coffee was good, quiche was good (kinda small). Why the low rating? I came here at just past 12 pm, there was a long line right where I entered, I lined up naturally. Some woman and her coworker cut right in front of me, she told me I can go line up at the cafe directly. I was confused, asked her what is this long line for, she said “are you blablabla employee?” I said no, she was like then this is not your line or something, with a very rude face. I’m not from the area, just want to find a cafe to have breakfast and work a little bit. And this is the first thing I encounter coming to this cafe. Later I sat down, ordered some food. Then a server came to me, nicely but let me know the area is reserved and I can’t sit that area. I was confused by that sign where it was signifying. Apparently more than half of the cafe was reserved during lunch time I guess. I moved my stuff to another area trying to eat my lunch and enjoy my coffee, too bad the table was too low and not for eating. So I just left, went back to my hotel and ate at the hotel cafe. I wish I can like Good Ambler more, staff were nice, but this experience was really terrible and not friendly for people who are not from the area, or your building. I held my urge to confront that mean woman (customer) so it doesn’t ruin my day. If she ever reads this, you’re really not a...

This place has been on my list for a LONG time so it was well worth almost missing my flight to enjoy it in it's fullest.

Chef Kevin and team do a fantastic job of executing fine pastry in a fast casual setting.

Plenty of seating and couches for work meetings or coffee dates or study sessions but my seat of choice was at the counter overlooking the chocolate production area & kitchen. (Which was immaculately clean and organized)

Got a ham and cheese croissant and devoured it while waiting for my coffee. Top notch balance of butter in the dough, richness from the ham and cheese, nice seeds ontop for texture and proper lamination.

Ordered a quiche Lorraine and sat to enjoy it. SO. GOOD. crusy was proper eggs were perfectly seasoned nice amount of onion and bacon not too overwhelming and a little greens on the side to cut the richness. Plate came out quick, and hot so 10/10 there. Another classic done right.

The desserts looked great but i had to catch a flight so i got an assorted truffle box and enjoyed them 1 by 1 for an entire week after each time saying "man this place is great"

Cold brew was delicious and I wanted more but once sitting in traffic on the way to the airport I was grateful I stopped at 1.

All in all. Dont walk RUN to Good Ambler and get it allll you wont regret it. Will be back next time I'm in...
