Review


I've been a customer on and off for about 5 years. As others have noted, quality consistency is an issue. Given the high price point, it can be a tough pill to swallow when something is disappointing.

The #1 benefit is that it's dedicated, they have a lot of dairy free options also, and they use a lot of organic ingredients.

Challah and lemon cookies and pecan bars are usually good. Cupcakes are okay (dry) and the last lemon square I purchase was downright depressing (very dry and sour). Their donuts (a special they run about once a month on a Saturday) are pretty good - brioche style which is unusual - but I've also had some that are really greasy (we get come with our donuts and the bottoms are soaked in it) which can be off putting. Also the bagel special is a good one.

I've wanted to support this place over the years but it can be a turn off when the staff and service are intense and unpleasant.
