This cafe surprised me. It's looks so unassuming from the street but the back patio is huge and…read moredecorated like a garden. We were greeted by a really friendly and fun cashier. He guided us thru a few options before we settled on matcha lemonade, and a seasonal drink: mango-tango matcha. Deliciously flavorful and creamy, but tbh it is somewhat rich and dessert like. If you aren't planning to get a pastry, this is more than enough. For pastries, selected a pistachio croissant and what was called a NY roll. The croissant was good and nicely flaky. The roll was crisp and the filling was creamy, but we didn't really care for the glaze (white chocolate?) on the outside. It gave a somewhat stale mouth feel (although the pastry was absolutely fresh). It just didn't hit my tastebuds. Perfect spot to hang with your friends and spend time gossiping and solving the world's problems.

I have been here twice in the past, but not in a long time. Needed to buy a box of yummy cupcakes for my friend's birthday and wanted few for me and my son. Rubina, the owner being so sweet, kind, nice, and helpful helped me to choose variety of cupcakes for my friend, and also helped me to decide what my cravings were.? I went with like 6 cupcakes of different kind, and they looked AMAZING!! Got Chocolate cupcake, berry cupcake with light frosting on top, & Red Velvet Cupcake for me and my son to share. Their cupcakes are seriously addicting, in the most dangerous way!:-) They are light, fresh, yummy, and full of flavor w/out being too sweet. Simply irresistible. They have a clean shop, cute, quaint, and welcoming. They only make cupcakes. No other types of goodies. Just letting you guys know. They do deliveries and small catering for your occasions. Moderate prices. Plenty of parking shared with numerous businesses and one last thing; go see the owner and she will help you to pick out your favorites!

And the icing is textured, like a true blend of blueberries in a gently sweetened cream. No heavy sugars, no artificial flavors. So if you're looking for that Susie Cakes sugar rush, you won't find it here. This is for those that have an affinity for the subtle nuances in flavor profiles. The chocolate varieties taste similar to what my wife makes - you can taste the intensity of the natural chocolate flavor thanks to espresso. It's the secret to a deep, beautiful chocolate batter. The owners are lovely as well. The lady took the time to go over the flavors and explain the lack of heavy sugars. Such a cute spot tucked away in a strip mall behind Starbucks. I'll be back for a 6 pack of blueberry cupcakes soon!

The wifi was fast though which was nice but they do have a limit with how long you can use their wifi (if i remember correctly i belive it was 2 hours. I got their key lime pie which was delicious and I also got the chicken pesto sando and that was really good too with a really generous portion. The key lime pie was definitely on the more expensive side (almost $10), but honestly it was really good and the flavor was super balanced between the cream, crust, and filling.Their coffee selection also looked really good, but unfortunately I wasn't able to try any this time. Street parking was easy to find and the service was nice, friendly, and fast!

The ambience was very nice and cozy. Many tables inside to more out back. They even have a stage area. I ordered a slice of apple that was so delicious warmed up. The apples were thinly sliced and were not overly sweet which I loved. My husband got a slice of cookie and cream which was so good. We also ordered a marion berry slice that I had never heard of but wanted to try. It was a little too tart for my taste but still not bad. I think the only thing I could critique was the coffee. I ordered a black coffee and it tasted a little burnt and not fresh. But I didn't make a big deal because I did go in like 40 minutes before closing time. I will be back maybe a little earlier to give coffee another try, also for another slice of pie.

They don't sell any sweet goodies, what they sell is quality Armenian savory goods. I am so surprised at myself that I left this bakery behind and didn't do a review on this hidden gem. Walked in today knowing that they close a little earlier than their usual time and wanted to get everything. This mom n pop place has been around forever and still serving the community nothing but delicious, hot, fresh food. They have Cheese borek, Spinach borek, lahmajune, (Armenian Pizza), potato borek, spicy cheese borek and Ajarski (bread boat filled with cheese, egg or other items which is made to order). 20 minute wait for the Ajarski. The smell of the food automatically welcomes you in. They also have beverages and one of my favorite is Tan. An Armenian yogurt drink. DELICIOUS!! Sounds weird, but it's good! I got a dozen lahmajune the small, compact ones, 2 large, long spicy borek and that was all for today. Give this place a try; and, you will go there at least once or twice a week. Yes, it's that good! Parking is shared with other businesses and they don't have a place to sit. Grab & go orders. Super friendly staff and place is clean.

The woman was somewhat pleasant and the man was not. He didn't even acknowledge that I was there and needed help. Place is small and a lot of customers lined up. Since there is this high demand and hype about their lahmajune (Armenian Pizza), wanted to give it a try and see if it's worth buying. After barely finishing my one lahmajune that I got, I didn't like it. It was too greasy, but the quality of the meat was decent. I got a Fruit Tart from the bakery and 2 Mikados. Both were fresh and delicious! Ambiance of the store needs a good rub and renovation. It's old and attention must be paid!! Got my goodies and left. Prices are reasonable depending what you get. Parking is shared with multiple businesses; and I will stick to the bakeries that I know, like, and am familiar with!!

I guess my experience initially started over the phone when I spoke with Suzie to confirm their hours. She also mentioned to me that the bakery was open until 8pm today but the kitchen closes at 5. That was helpful information that wasn't listed online. We got there around 4pm and easily found parking in their lot behind the building. There are plenty of spaces and also street/residential parking. Upon entering, there was an immediate vibe shift from the outside world. It was almost dead silent inside, with no music playing and no regular restaurant chatter/noises, either. The place is fairly big/spacious but had an extremely cold atmosphere. Their Christmas tree was still up along with some other decorations, but the lights of the tree weren't even turned on! I feel like the ambience here could've been a lot more festive and welcoming with the lights and some music. The place itself was pretty clean and the bathroom (one gender-neutral unit) was spotless!! Oh, there is also a patio if you choose to sit outside. We were greeted by Alma behind the counter and she was genuinely such a sweet, kind, and helpful person. She knew her job very well and was able to answer any of our questions about their menu. To share, we ordered their famous Ajarski (plain), along with a large vegetarian pizza. My son got himself the Grilled Chicken and Garlic Wrap, however he subbed the tortilla for sliced sourdough and got salad instead of fries. I got the Grilled Chicken Panini that came with Mozzarella Cheese and Pesto, also with salad. The Ajarski and Pizza are baked fresh per order in the pizza oven, so they require a few extra minutes. I believe it took about 15 minutes total. The sandwiches came out sooner than that. Honestly, the food here was just...mediocre. It certainly wasn't awful but it just wasn't amazing by any means. It was kind of BLAND and everything just felt like it was missing something. Both of the grilled chicken sandwiches were pretty dry and the chicken was overcooked. The side salads were decent. The pizza felt noticeably underdone, like it was heated just enough to melt the cheese, but not fully baked. The dough was flimsy and not sturdy nor crispy. For me, the Ajarski was the highlight! Delicious cheese filling baked into a soft, tender dough with two runny eggs baked into it in the center. When you cut into it, the yolks start oozing out and you can use the bread to soak it all up. It was DELICIOUS! I would say the portion sizes were appropriate for everything, however the prices are a bit steep! Our total for these 4 items came out to $71! For dessert, my son and I decided on 7 different pastries to sample. I also wanted to have a latte, but Alma told me they don't serve any decaf coffee whatsoever, so I just stuck with my water. I don't know what this is about - I've been noticing more and more places that are eliminating decaf coffee from their menus. Why? Not all of us do well with caffeine, so it is important to keep it on the menu in order to please everyone. As far as the actual pastries, we got the Cream Puff (incorrectly labeled as Chocolate Eclair), 2 round Peach pastries (filled with buttercream), and one slice each of the following: Tiramisu, Mikado, Honey Cake, and Bird's Milk. They have an EXTENSIVE pastry case full of traditional pastries that we all know and love, and some lesser-known desserts from Armenia, Russia, etc...I grew up on a lot of these sweet treats so it was nice to revisit them after many years. We tried a bite or two of each one and they were all yummy but also a bit overpriced in OUR opinion!! 7 pastries came out to $31. Altogether, already a $102 bill for two people and some leftovers for tomorrow. Hey, we did also get a free Armenian calendar out of it! I'd also like to thank Katherine who was helpful and pleasant, just like Alma. We accidentally misplaced the receipt for the food and she was able to reprint it for me. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but it was missing that WOW factor for me!! It was slightly underwhelming but I might give it another try sometime in the future.
