I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was full of families with kids of all ages doing different types of artwork. I walked around and looked at everything while enjoying my delicious iced latte, made by one of their super friendly staff. It's a fun and unique place that's definitely worth a stop in.

Sophia Marie Patisserie absolutely lives up to the hype! This woman-owned bakery in Chester…read morespecializes in both French and Italian pastries. It's an adorable, quaint shop, with no indoor seating, which just adds to its charm. There's always the same friendly woman working the front, while the owner bakes in the back. I tried the viral fruit entremet and chose the mango and raspberry flavors. The mango entremet featured a delicious custard and mango filling within a beautiful hard shell, but my personal favorite was the raspberry. The raspberry custard paired with the raspberry filling was truly outstanding. I also sampled their chicken sandwich croissant, made with their homemade croissant. It was super filling; although I thought the chicken salad could use a little more seasoning, it was still enjoyable. I'll definitely be back to try more pastries and I might even book them for an event!

The workers are very nice, but I didn't notice if they also offered food. It's pretty slow/ quiet in the morning when they first open but starts getting busy around noon.

Wanted to give a small business a try in Petersburg and stopped in for a quick pick-me-up. Upon…read moreentering I wasn't greeted and both Baristas were on their phones. I ordered a small, iced vanilla latte with whole milk (my go-to at a new spot, easy enough). I noticed that the espresso machine was filthy (there were only two patrons inside and both had received their orders) and the whole station was unclean with grounds everywhere and tampers still full of used espresso. My latte was truly undrinkable. It was truly putrid. The drink was bitter and sour at the same time and had such a burnt flavor that after two sips I couldn't even finish it. I'm always happy to "doctor my drinks" up in these instances (add milk, request something else) but as a former barista myself I knew this was an espresso issue, not a milk or syrup issue. Both baristas went back to texting and I left uncaffinated, disheartened and my drink went right in the trash. With other coffee spots nearby they really need to step their game up. I could have gotten a better latte (and probably better service) at Dunkin.

There was plenty of seating and space for everyone. people were just talking and enjoying their morning. I got an iced mocha and it was delicious! Very rich and the whip cream on top was wonderful. I also got a sausage, egg, and cheese on a biscuit and it was 10/10. The biscuit was light and fluffy, I was worried about the look of the egg, but it was well seasoned and delicious! The cheese, oh my, had an epic cheese pull and it was delicious! The staff was INDREDIBLY friendly as well! 10/10 all around!

I arrived during their quieter time, just after 12:30pm, so there's were no lines and I had the opportunity to talk to one of the baristas about latte options. I decided on a peppermint white mocha latte and got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk for my coworker. I also picked up a raspberry muffin, which was staring me in the face, lol! The shop is pretty spacious, with lots of seating (sofas and comfy chairs, too), and I could see why people would want to hang out while enjoying their purchases. The staff was super friendly. We both enjoyed our drinks and the muffin was tasty, too (a bit better after heating it up a bit). I'm so glad I found such a cute coffee shop near work!
