Someone recommended trying this place. I was in the area and got in line for walk ins. With the cold weather, I was 2nd in line 15 min before they opened. They opened 5-10 min late. They had everyone snake in so people were not standing in the cold. Every item was explained, but they were making more items in the back (pizzas, certain croissants, sandwiches). I got a few items and they were delicious. I had to wait an extra 15-20min for the Gochujang croissant and so happy that I waited. It was so good. Also, based on what others said, I knew there would be a lot of waiting so didn't mind. The staff is busy and moving fast. Inside is simple and clean. Items with tax came out to $10 each. I am picky with baked goods and will be happy to go back. Different flavor profiles and you can taste the quality. Will try for preorder at some point.
Let me start by saying I still adore this place, am so glad to have it in Garfield Park, and wish them continued success. No matter what you get here, it's going to be delicious. That said, there's ample opportunity for improvement on the customer experience side of things. Be prepared to wait! The days of a quick pop in for a pastry are few and far between. The store may open a few minutes late and preorders may or may not be on time. It doesn't bother me to wait a few minutes, but when I went to pick up my Thanksgiving preorder half an hour after my scheduled pickup time and there was a line out the door for *preorders*, I wasn't thrilled. Unfortunately this was repeated for the Christmas preorder as well. On a regular walk in day, no pastries are labeled, so the offerings have to be re-explained as new people join the line and/or get to the front. Just listing regular offerings (Matilda chocolate cake, chocolate chip toffee cookies, cruffins, cretzel, etc) with images on the website/instagram highlights for people to reference and know what they're looking at would be helpful. Cafe Babette has made it clear that this is just part of their vibe, and they're not planning on changing anytime soon. I wish them the best of luck and hope to be a frequent visitor again in the future.
This was my first time here. On Sundays at 7pm they open up their online ordering for the upcoming Saturday. The online ordering usually sells out within 10 minutes. I was finally able to online order. Yay! Today, Saturday, I picked up my order at the time I selected. When I saw the line outside I asked how it works. The line outside was waiting to purchase any pastries they have on hand. If you pre-ordered you go inside to find your box and then leave. The line to order was long so I'm glad I pre-ordered. Once inside it was packed. I wanted to get a picture of what was available to purchase but I couldn't get close enough. The inside was decorated nicely and it seemed the staff was working diligently to get everyone in and out in a timely manner. They also have apparel you can purchase. I opened my box when I got home and let out a WOW. I only ordered two pastries and each pastry could easily feed 2-3 people. . I ordered a coffee cream croissant and a cardamom + cinnamon croissant twist. I have tasted both and they're delicious. Now I understand why pre-order sells out so quickly and why there's a line waiting to get in. You gotta check this place out! They are located near Garfield Park.
CAFE BABETTE IN INDY HAS DELICIOUS PASTRIES ======================================== I am so glad my son and daughter-in-law placed an order for pick-up because this café is popular and there was a line. We just pulled up, my son ran in and picked up a big box of pastries and then we headed back to their home. I think I tried everything in the box and everything was amazing. I would definitely go there again.
Despite all the controversy they manage to sell out and attract a line of customers around the block every single day. I had to try it and I think their creativity is unmatched. Pastries are quite expensive but huge and unique so you're paying for that value. It's not an every day thing for me but I wanted to support them before they move to Spain and I enjoyed what I got! Coconut cake and cookies were my favorite.
If you have never been here then set an alarm and plan to go when they are open. It is an amazing local business that started in a house, then as a pop up and now as a regular occurring bakery of delicious tasty pastries! Every time I go the service is amazing, the flavors fabulous and the options beyond what my taste buds can handle almost. My favorite so far is the pretzel bread (if I have to pick). Soft and pillowy but yet also crispy with just the right amount of butter and flavor. Yum! This spot is a amazing and so perfect for the community, a bakery as if from heaven in our backyard!
They are only open for a few hours and the line is huge. I was sure it wasnt going to be worth it...but it was. They just make incredible bakery items here. I got the breakfast sandwich on homemade bread and everything on the inside just emulsified into one solid-melt-in-your-mouth bite. Insane flavor on that. I also got some monkey bread which they dolloped with a ladel of caramel which was as thick as toothpaste. I ate that on the drive home and had sticky caramel all over my hands. The line should go much faster but it seems like every customer wants to play their little game of 20 questions with the staff. Come on, folks ! Just point at what you want and pay. You dont need the complete ingredient list and process that goes into every item. Sheesh ! Great place. I wish they were open longer.
Before Cafe Babette was located off Shelby Street, they made the pastries out of their house in Franklin. You could pick a time and pick them up there. My favorite pastry was a creme brûlée cronut. Fast forward a couple of years and they have a shop within walking distance of Garfield Park. They have pre orders and walk ins lines outside. I wish they had menus of what they had made for the day for people waiting in line to look at to maybe know what they would want before they get inside. We looked on the menu this morning and couldn't find any of the pastries. Maybe some little signs in front of the pastries once you get inside also. Maybe even a tv with a menu on it. They have such pretty pastries that are works of art. I've had the strawberry cream and coffee cream croissants and both were so light and delicious. The croissants are flaky. They have savory and sweet items to choose from. Ham and cheese croissants, Matilda cake, and great soft pretzels with a garlicky ranch dip. That did would be great with veggies and so much more. It's so good!! The browned butter sheet cake slice I got I think is my favorite. Very simple but has great flavor. The owners are very nice and they have a good following as they have a line out the door before it opens. It's hard to choose what to get because they have a lot and it all looks delicious.
As visitors from out of town, we didn't feel comfortable pre-ordering for pickup because we wanted to see the items to help influence our order. We don't regret that decision and rationale, but I'm not going to pretend that I enjoyed waiting in line for an hour on a Saturday morning. But that wait really speaks to the popularity of this weekly "pop-up" bakery, its endless options of sweet and savory baked creations, and of course how scrumptious everything tastes. The highest marks for me went to the savory items. Oversized croissants + heaping amounts of cheese + breakfast meats = heaven. Hard stop. We got two different varieties of croissants + a sausage roll and they were worth every minute of the wait. We got a few sweet treats, and I can't even remember what they were. They were good, but the savories were the winner of the day.
I've had Cafe Babette saved for a while, but saw a picture of the banoffee croissant and that was all the inspiration I needed to put in my pre-order for the upcoming Saturday. When I pulled up there was probably already 30 people in line before they opened. But, they came out and separated the lines into pre-orders and the regular line. For pre-orders, we just went inside right away to pick up the boxes. Since the line moved more quickly than I expected, I was actually there about 15 minutes before my pre-order time. I just told them my name and they put it together in the back real quick. You can tell they are used to having a line since they had it under control and everything moved efficiently. I am so glad I pre-ordered. I peeked at the pastries out for sale and they all looked so pretty. I already always have a hard time deciding what to order, I'd still be there trying to pick. The pastries are almost comically large. I actually laughed out loud when I opened the box. I ordered 5 of them so I could try a little bit of everything, but it was more pastry than I could handle. I went for the banoffee croissant and that was good, but my favorites were actually the carrot cake cupcake and the earl grey monkey bread. I read on Instagram that the carrot cake is soaked in a pineapple syrup and I think that's the secret. Unpopular opinion - I don't like pineapple in my carrot cake but it's almost always in there. This had the flavor of pineapple without the huge chunks and it was so good. Plus, I could just eat the brown butter frosting by itself.
They hype is real! They started out as a pop up, then found their location in Garfield Park. There is always a line waiting outside for them to open. Currently they are only open Thurs, Fri, and Sat until they sell out (which doesn't take long). Most items are croissant based. They offer sweet and savory ones. They also offer cake slices, sandwiches, drink specials, and muffins. Their menu is different each day, so you never know what they'll have...unless you subscribe to their newsletter! There is a huge advantage to this, because then you can pre-order and skip the line! The price is a little high (imo) but the portions are large. One reason for the pricing is because the owner orders in small batches; since she is constantly changing the menu. This also makes it hard to return to find your favorites again. It is definitely worth a try, and the experience, at least once. When I went on a Saturday for the first time, I arrived at 10a for a 10:30a opening. They didn't take the first customer until 10:45a and I left with my purchase around 11:15a. So, I was in line for about 30 min and was probably about the 15th customer. One reason I think it takes a while is because everyone has to ask what each item is, there is no signage. This would be super helpful to customers and staff. I know items change often, but having interchangeable signs in front of each item, or even on the wall, would be helpful. In chalk or dry erase. I ordered a sweet croissant (strawberry) and a savory croissant (french onion soup). They were both delicious and full of flavor. The fluff in the strawberry one was perfection!
I recently visited for the first time, on a Saturday, and all I can say is WOW! They're truly doing something special here. Service and product are equally amazing. I found street parking close by, and though the line and wait were long, it was worth it and I appreciate the efficiency while still taking time with each customer. It was so good, my husband went back the same week.
No words! It's insane to think of the flavor combinations and how well they work. The crab Rangoon puff pastry and the French onion soup with goat cheese danish, TO DIE FOR! The mango curd cheesecake danish was my favorite sweet, the mango curd is incredible. Love how creative this place is, it's definitely worth the wait and the fight to pre order. Would recommend 100%. Be prepared to make a line and keep an open mind, they run out of things quickly.
5 star for pastries. 4 star for overall experience. This place is truly unbelievable with pastries that are creative, beautiful, and delicious. They make everything that you could ever dream of, and they make them pretty to the eye as well. They have a variety of sweet and savory pastries, cakes, morning, buns, croissants, etc.. I highly recommend doing the pre-order online if you are going on the weekend. The line will be at the door and it takes quite some time (took me an hour this past Saturday) for customers to go through pick their pastries and pay. If you go on a weekday, you would probably be fine getting in and out without a problem. Next time I will do the pre-order! read more
Once upon a time during a 90 degree Saturday morning, "The Midwest Second Summer", my friend and I decided that today would be the day we finally commit to going to Cafe Babette. Having followed them on IG and seeing their growth from small bake orders on their socials to having a distribution store front in Garfield Park I knew that I had to finally commit a time to give them a visit. Like everyone says, Pre-Order is the best use of your time if you want to try them out. (Pre-Order opens on Sunday and goes through Wednesday for a Saturday pick-up) We arrived right at opening at 10:30 a.m., and there was already a line around the corner of the street for walk-ins. They have a separate line for timed pick-up, where you can just walk in and grab your order inside. We waited about an hour until we made it to the front of the line, they have all of their pastries laid out on tables, and periodically they will make an announcement to explain what you're looking at - this also helps with people making quicker orders by the time they make it to the front. They have a variety of classic laminated pastries, cakes, cookies, with both savory and sweet options. Their flavor combinations and unique twists on classic pastries makes them a force to be reckoned with! I ordered 4 pastries, 3 sweet (Raspberry Lemon Danish, Cardamon Morning Bun, and Apple Hand Pie) and 1 savory (Ham and Cheese Bechamel Croissant). Let me tell you - there was not a bad bite in the whole bunch, and honestly it was worth the wait and now future addiction. Each pastry can range from $6.50 - $12 a piece depending on what you're getting, but it is worth the price for quality! Cafe Babette does it right, and does not disappoint. read more

If you have been thinking about trying this place out then I would recommend not waiting much longer. The food is delicious and there is a range of sweet to savory treats. I would also recommend doing a preorder that way you know you are able to get the pastries you want. I did a preorder and got there a bit late. The place was packed with people who were just stopping in. Preorder boxes were on a bench to the left. I looked for my box and it wasn't there so I just went to the lady who was at the register. They took my name and I was out of the place in less than 10min which was fine with me. I got a heap of stuff and I tried a little piece of it all. Everything was good their pastry dough is amazing. My favorites were the carrot cake croissant, ham and cheese, and the earl grey croissant. read more
My friend and I were at the Garfield Park Farmers Market and she mentioned this bakery that is only open on Saturdays. I had heard of it before so we went to go check it out. The line was out the door so we knew we would have to wait a good amount of time. We peeked in windows and saw the pastries looked delectable. We had a few people who came up and said they preordered so they went in ahead of us. I believe you preorder a few days ahead of time because we looked on their website while in line and did not see an option to do so same day. After about 30 minutes waiting- we got in and the smell of the pastries was mouth watering! None of the items are labeled so a big part of the wait time is the staff explaining what different pastries are to different customers. I ordered the blackberry meringue croissant and a strawberry cream tart- I forget the exact names. The total was $18 for the two items- a little high but these pastries take a lot of time and effort to make. The taste is worth it! The pastry was flaky and the flavors were spot on in both items. I would definitely come back. Lastly the staff were friendly and helpful! They explained all the items and helped pack up orders quickly. (Not that they asked but some tips for the staff that may help! It would be helpful to place little signs by the food explaining what is what to help cut through the wait. Another tip would be to maybe put up a divider between food and customers- there were some kids in front of us who got their faces and hands very close to the food- we did end up seeing one of the kids touch the food -the parent did buy what they touched. The aesthetic inside is very minimal and clean looking but just for health and safety reasons a barrier would be beneficial.) read more

My partner and I recently tried Cafe Babette after passing it countless times on the weekend and always seeing the line wrapped around the corner. Knowing how busy it gets, we arrived early on a Saturday morning, about 30 to 45 minutes before opening, and still ended up around eighth in line. Before the doors opened, the owner of this lovely mom and pop shop came outside to greet everyone. He thanked us for supporting the restaurant and explained how the process would work, which was a thoughtful touch. Once inside, he addressed all the guests again, walking us through more than 25 pastry options in detail and explaining the drink selections too. It was a lot to take in, but in a fun, energetic way that made the experience feel special. I ordered the Carrot Cake Slushee, the Matilda Cake, and a Raspberry Croissant(I don't remember the exact names of each). My partner ordered a cinnamon roll, which I also sampled. The service throughout was excellent. The entire family and staff worked diligently, kept things moving, and answered every question we had. When it came to the food and drinks, though, everything we tried was overwhelmingly sweet. I took one sip of the Carrot Cake Slushee and had to toss it. The Matilda Cake itself had great flavor, but I found myself scraping off most of the icing just to enjoy it. The croissant, cinnamon roll, and other items all leaned heavily in the same direction, sweet without any real balance or flavors to pull from. I would love to return someday to give other items a try, but the prices make it hard to feel good about throwing things away. The experience, service, and atmosphere were wonderful, but I am hoping to find a bit more variety or at least something that is not quite so sugary on my next visit. read more
Walking into Cafe Babette felt like walking into a Brooklyn pop up bakery. It was an amazing surprise in Indy. I have been following their Instagram for months, so I've seen the days of work she pours into these baked goods and finally got a chance to go last Saturday. I'm so happy they have a shop now! It's definitely in a rougher part of town, but also right next to Garfield park so everyone brings their pastries there to eat under the sun! I couldn't have asked for a better start to the weekend. My group of 6 got there around noon and the line wasn't too long, but it was still busy with TONS of preorders stacked along the left wall. They gave us detailed explanations of each and every pastry on their two loaded tables of goodies. I couldn't believe how nice the staff was and how happy they were to repeat what things were. I couldn't believe the variety - 2 whole tables full!! Overall - The cheesy garlic bread was the star of the show. It was buttery, moist, squishy, cheesy and SO delectable. The piece was also HUGE. The sausage roll was also really tasty with fresh herbs in it and soo much bigger than expected. As for the sweets - the cookie croissant bun (I don't know the actual name) was deliciousss. It was dessert in breakfast form with the chocolate chip cookie as the base. The chocolate was oozing out!! I didn't really like the espresso they used in the croissant and the morning bun so I wouldn't get those again but am excited to try the pistachio croissant next time if they have it!! Phenomenal bakery and am SO happy to have it in Indy. Can't wait to send everyone I know to try it! read more
Can't say enough about this bakery. We went on a Saturday morning. We did have to wait in line for about 20 minutes but it was well worth it. The Garfield Park Farmer's Market is right across the street, so you can make a morning of it! Even after waiting in line, there was still quite a selection! The staff was great with giving descriptions of the pastries! They answered any questions we had. I can't say that made the selection easier because everything sounded amazing. There is street parking and lots of other small businesses within walking distance. Not to mention Garfield Park. I ended up getting the Lavender Morning Bun, a peach and plum cruffin, and two other tasty things I can't remember the exact name of. They also have iced tea and some fruit lemonades. I got the Strawberry Balsamic and it was refreshing! I didn't pick any of the savory pastries but heard from people in line, they are also wonderful. We'll be back to get more of the items we didn't try this time. They have an online pre-order that we will make use of (walk right in, don't have to wait in line)! read more
RUN, DON'T WALK! I placed a Saturday pick up from Cafe Babette and had 0 clue what to expect, but WOW! So good! We walked in right at our order time and the boxes were being brought out, this helped us avoid standing in line, but they had plenty of items available for walk ins at 11:30. Each item is so unique in its own way, I'll be regularly making the 35 min drive there. (order picture attached) read more
If you haven't been here then you are missing out! It is worth the 30 minute drive I make from the Northside of Indy to eat the most delicious cookies and loaves I have ever, ever had. My fav cookie is the s'more. So so good. The savory scones are out of this world too. Have not had a single mediocre item here. Worth the $50 I spent each visit. Quality ingredient and lovingly baked. You won't regret a trip to Garfield park for a baked treat. Not the days of operation on the website or socials. Also note this is a take away only joint. No seats. Just folding tables full of goodies to fill up a pink paper box and take home. read more

Hi J.A. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to clarify. We have…
Has anything become more iconic in Indy than Cafe Babette's giant pink box full of oversized pastries in the past year? Not only do they look incredible, they taste phenomenal as well. It's a very simple store front with tables for pastries and a small bench at the entrance. The kitchen area is blocked/covered with sheets. I love the simplicity and wish they could keep it open to see the magic of the baking but it's understandable with cleanliness purposes. The pastries are on the more expensive size but most of them are 1-2 times are larger than a standard one so very reasonable for the portion size. Everything is delicious! I've been 3 times and gotten 3-4 pastries each time and tried something new and been beyond pleased. Honestly I can't praise them enough. The menu is ever rotating (it can literally change within an hour) so the FOMO of missing something is real. You'll want to check their social media for the menu for the weekend as there isn't signage up for what they have to offer. Who ever runs the account is amazing as well (I'm assuming the owners). They are very upfront about everything, almost to a fault, but I love the honesty and vulnerability they are offer in the platforms they are on. Great experiences and even better pasties. I can't recommend them enough for a weekend. I would also encourage preordering on Saturday as the line can be long! read more

I've been following Cafe Babette for quite awhile and FINALLY after drooling over their photos I can officially say I found my new favorite place to grab local pastries. They were so delicious and very unique. Using lots of different flavors and textures to create beautifully balanced and crafted pastries like you've never tasted. Will continue to support this delicious cafe! Make sure you order ahead! They always have a line and especially if you want a seasonal item that might run out! read more

These are probably the best pastries I've ever had. The croissants rival ones that I had in local cafés in Europe, which I didn't think was possible. They are well worth the 30 minute drive and the price point is 100% justifiable. The pictures do not do their size justice, some of them were as big as my entire face. My only con is that I selected 2PM as my pre order pick up time but when I showed up they were already closed and the doors were locked. Luckily an employee saw me wandering about looking in the windows and let me inside. If they're closing early they should put up a sign saying to knock (or something of that sort) to pick up pre orders because I had a moment of depression thinking I wasn't going to be getting my pastries, LOL. I already can't wait to go back. Put them in heart shaped serving trays for the Galentines celebration I got them for. read more
When they first started there was one table of pastries. Only a few months later and they have two full tables and they're usually bringing out more varieties when you're there. It's always busy with a consistent line. It's best to pre-order and do a pickup, but I usually don't know that far in advance if I can make the trek down to visit. Thus, if you're popping in on Saturdays, be ready to wait along with everyone else. I usually make it there an hour after opening, and my wait time is an average 45 mins to 1 hour. The queue inside is a bit confusing, but people are nice and will point you in the right direction. They have a lot of sweet options and some savory. The savory options usually go fast because there's so few of them. I get more hungry the longer I'm waiting in line, so I always end up ordering more than I planned. Oh well, then I get to share more with friends, and I'm okay with that! I appreciate the flavor combinations, the creativity, and the friendly staff the most. Street parking can be hard to find, and it's just a bit of a walk then, not bad. read more
This place has incredible fresh made to order pastries. The selections are incredible. You really need to pre order so you can skip the line and wait. When you pre order you can set time you want to pick up, you get to skip the line, walk right in and pick up your beautiful pink box with your name on it. read more

I'll start this review with the most important part: PRE-ORDER. The pastries are devine, but not the line. I didn't preorder last week and we ended up spending an hour plus in line.... Would not recommend, unlike their offerings which have NEVER DISAPPOINTED. My dad was irritated but I promised him it was worth the wait and once we got him fed he agreed. Last week we got a muffalata that was even better than the ones I tried in New Orleans. The other new favorite was the cheddar and herb buttermilk which is what you wish the biscuits at Red Lobster actually taste like... down to an edge of crispy cheese.... Omg. Get on the list so you know what and when to preorder and get your own piece of heaven wrapped in a pink box. read more

These are probably the best pastries I have had in Indy! Everything we tried (see my photo) was delicious. The pastries were moist and crispy in the right places and the creams and icings were so decadent and flavorful. The brown butter cookie might have been the highlight. Everything was very large and easily shareable. Also, the baker helped carry my box out to my car while I was wrangling a toddler, so the customer service was appreciated! read more

LOVED Cafe Babette!! I did the preorder for 10:30 and walked right in (got to skip the line) and all the preorder boxes were filled and ready!! Such a quick and easy process. Highly recommend pre ordering if you know what you want! Easy free parking around Garfield Park. The people were so nice and they had so many pastry options! Check them out if you haven't yet! read more

Hey Andree, My husband gives a low down when we open on the line and…
Honestly didn't love this. I found the pastries to be dry and lacking flavor. The service was pretty quick. I am not opposed to trying again, maybe I just came at a bad time! read more

I can't say enough about the creative, massive, flavorful baked goods at Cafe Babette. While pricey, the size and quality are worth it. Putting in your pre-order around 8-11pm on a Sunday before you pick up on Saturday is the best as the line is always out the door (even if it's cold). The owners and staff have intentionally chosen the Garfield Park neighborhood as their community. The storefront is currently bare bones and open only on Saturday which reminds you that it's a local business just starting up. They hardly need a sign or extensive hours to attract customers already. You can easily ride the Red Line or drive your own vehicle to park for free. While you're in the area, you can grab plants from a store across the street, get coffee from Helm, grab beer at Garfield Brewery, or visit the Garfield Park Conservatory. read more

I've been absolutely obsessed since the pop-up at Wild Geese in Franklin. Get one of everything. I'm not kidding. They never miss. The giant chocolate chip toffee cookie is SO good - the flaky sea salt on top is the perfect balance to the richness of the cookie. All of the morning buns are great (I love the original sticky bun) and the twice-baked croissants are to die for. Get anything with the Thai tea caramel, and don't pass up the chance to get a slice of cheesecake! read more

To the readers of this review and the string of bad reviews we have…
Cafe Babette was such a refreshing bakery to visit in Indy! Unique flavors, the freshness was unreal! I went Saturday morning about one hour after opening, and we waited about 20-25 minutes in line. BUT it was WORTH it! The customer service was nice and explained the different pastries ect. We ordered croissant/cookie, filled croissants, pretzel, and flavored lemonade! They were amazing thick, flaky, tasty! What else could you ask for! The favorites were the pretzel and herb spread (unreal) so good! The herb spread was the MVP of the show, I could eat that out the jar! And the croissant cookie I mean seriously delicious had a whole cookie in the middle, cookie on the bottom that was crisp! My family devoured that chocolate chip croissant cookie, Chefs kiss! I'm looking forward to enjoying more bake goods from this bakery! read more

Hey Madison, We have two people on customer service packing orders…
These are the best pastries/desserts I've ever had in Indy. It can be a bit chaotic since they are still starting up but seriously these are incredible. I almost don't want other people knowing about this place because it's so good. Prices are a little bit high but the size and quality you're getting make it an occasional treat to look forward to. I hope to see them grow and soar and offer more items during the week! read more

So excited that this microbakery now has its own storefront. We have been doing the pre-orders and plan to continue doing so to avoid the long lines, although the pastries are worth the wait! Our pick ups this week... The Twice Baked Carrot Cake Croissant was my personal favorite. Their laminated pastries are incredible! This had a coconutty carrot cake filling and was topped with a tiny carrot. Absolutely beautiful! The Sourdough Focaccia Breakfast Slice had a lovely thick focaccia base. It was topped with a potato confit, eggs, mushroom and a sprinkle of veggie cheese. It was a hearty and a meal in itself. The Orange Thyme Olive Oil Cake Slice was melt in your mouth moist and flavorful. The Cardamom Sugared Morning Bun with Orange Mascarpone Custard was a flaky laminated pastry. It was described as filled with an orange mascarpone custard but it only had a dollop of custard on top and was not filled inside. A bit disappointing but still good. The Herby Cheddar Sourdough Scone was the perfect scone texture. All the pastries are very generous in size and perfect for sharing if you want to try a bit of everything. read more
