I had a shredded chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and a hibiscus iced tea with cane sugar, which were both excellent.

Highly recommend a visit!

There was no line up when we got in but I did notice a queue once we were inside. It's a cool spot! People rave about this place for the gelato and pastries and they're not wrong! It's tasty! Secured some of the goods, we got a croissant, lavender shortbread, cruffin, carrot cake and I also bought some coffee beans. The pistachio gelato was the highlight. They also have a fridge filled with some ravioli and soups etc! Good idea highly recommend this spot! Plus they have tons of parking spots

The hostess was in the kitchen having a causal conversation with the staff. When we requested a bread pudding to-go, we were told the kitchen had just closed 2 mins prior to her coming out to talk to us, even though we were in the restaurant and she was distracted elsewhere. Despite explaining that we had arrived earlier and asking if an exception could be made since it is a to-go order, the staff declined. It was a disappointing end to what we had hoped would be a positive visit.

We are hooked on stopping in the morning for fresh-made sandwiches, drinks, chips, snacks, and desserts to take along for our day vacationing on the island. The sandwich counter is amazing with giant wraps being made while customers happily wait in line to get them. The store has a great selection of pre-made and packaged sandwiches, desserts, sweetbreads... to grab if you are in a hurry. You will find all of the items you would at a small grocery store here. Most of the other shoppers seem to be locals who were fun to visit with as well as giving some great ideas of places to visit. :)

It's not a good change at all, we have found some of the baked goods to be stale, found mold on the fruit buns and witnessed the short blond individual not using tongs while putting donuts out on the window display. That really turned us off, as everyone else used tongs. I can only assume is the related to the owners, plus we have noticed portions are smaller and some items looking not as fresh as before. The ambiance has changed and we miss the previous owners or parents that ran this bakery and enjoyed better goods in the past. It's sad when quality is gone.
