Nice drink menu (I enjoyed their take on the old fashioned) with cocktails and a nice craft beer selection.

The cherry tart was a pleasant surprise and the salted caramel chocolate cake will def fix a choc craving. Would gladly come back.

They open at ten, but the hours weren't posted clearly and the interaction with the guy behind the counter was awful. I would never run my business in this fashion. Also what bakery place doesn't open until 10? Not a good business model in the slightest. Lots of things we could improve on humble. I'm insanely disappointed

Super bummed out about this place. We wanted donuts not from a gas station, so we checked this…read moreplace out on our way out of town for the day. Super loud door chime when we came in, but literally no one was there. This place also housed a yogurt business, orange leaf. All of the yogurt fixings were clean and prepped and ready but looking at the donut fixings, it was messy and empty. We called out "hello" loudly and several times, but no answer. We could hear people talking in the back though. There was a space heater on behind the counter and someone's purse sitting on the back counter, so I know at least someone was there. We knocked on the counter and still nothing. So we left. No donuts for us!

We visited on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm and I was glad some of the baked goods were still available. I quickly picked up a few items: Dutch letters, almond horns, almond tarts, and blueberry filled Dutch windmills. The first three items have a strong but not overpowering almond flavor. I especially liked the almond horns which had a crunch but chewy and buttery texture. I also really liked the windmills and wished I had ordered the raspberry ones as well. It was buttery and flakey with just the right about of blueberry cream cheese filling.
