While preparing for my…read morefather's 75th birthday, I searched high and low for a bakery that had his absolute favorite cake flavor: German chocolate cake. Since his birthday happened to fall on Thanksgiving this year, I needed to locate a bakery that could conduct a sale within a day or two of the huge holiday. Sweet Caroline's staff picked up the phone, took my order for two cupcakes, processed the $9.00 payment, and ensured my cupcake order would be ready for pick up the day before Thanksgiving. A nearby family member picked up the order (and reported the bakery to be packed), and dutifully stored the German Chocolate cupcakes in the fridge until it was time for the birthday celebration. I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these cupcakes were absolutely divine! The chocolate was rich and the cake itself was so fresh. Pops loved the surprise. I am grateful that Sweet Caroline's Bakery was able to deliver on this super special occasion.

To call this French is an insult to France! I was born and…read moreraised in France, getting my bakery goods in the mornings from bakery down the street. The ambience was nice and so was service, but that's where the good things end. This was a disaster and shameful that it's called French. Serving croissants and eclairs and putting French names to menu items does not make something French. We ordered a turkey omelette with eggs on top, an eclair, a chocolate croissant, a croissant with ham and cheese and tomato and lettuce, and a cream filled beignet. Let's start with the bakery goods. All bakery goods should be made fresh that same morning. The croissants, and pastries all should be flaky and taste fresh. These were hard as if they were all yesterday's leftovers. The filling on the beignet was obviously a Jell-O pudding mix, and definitely not homemade. The eclair for some reason had some kind of supposed chantilly cream and raspberry instead of the traditional filling, and both of those fillings were also all store-bought. The eclair was also stale and tasted like it had been in the fridge since yesterday. The omelette was an absolute joke. If you look at the picture I posted, my index finger was actually taller than the entire omelette which is supposed to be filled with ham and cheese as you can see from the post photo. The ham and cheese were also packaged meat and cheese as you can tell since they all were sliced exactly in the same way and same size and tasted processed, and the cheese wasn't even melted completely. The omelette was just incredibly dry and bland. The croissant suffered from the same disease. It was hard, not flaky, and tasted stale as if it had been made yesterday, and all of the meat and cheese was obviously packaged meat and cheese which tasted processed. This tastes nothing like anything you would find at any French bakery in France. In France. Everything is made the same day, and the moment it starts going stale and stops being flaky, is thrown away. This is an absolute insult to French bakeries. Even if you compare it to other American bakeries and breakfast places, nothing tasted good and for that price, it should. Definitely avoid this place. I know I will.

The waiter and cook greeted us warmly. We were given menus and proceeded to review their offerings. Not much except basic Vietnamese and Korean fare. We decided on a tuna bahn mi sandwich and pho with brisket along with a shrimp and pork wrapped vegetable roll. Our expectations were minimal as we did not know what to expect. Surprise! The portions were large and the flavors were solid, not overwhelming. We were very happy. The service was attentive, polite and thorough.

I stopped in for lunch today and ordered their roasted chicken sandwich on freshly baked ciabatta warm, flavorful, and perfectly pressed.

The kind you'd take a photo of before you take a sip creamy, lightly sweetened, and made with love. But the real show-stoppers are the desserts. The pastry case looks like something out of a Paris pâtisserie rows of handmade creations that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Everything is crafted in-house, with real skill, pride, and tradition behind it. What truly makes this place special is the family that runs it.

Whether you're coming for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or a sweet treat (or all of the above!), you will walk out happier than when you walked in.

I know first watch is a chain, but this location is in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like a regular. By my second visit, they already knew my name and my go to orders. It's that personal Touch that keeps me coming back. The food is consistently, hot, fresh, and flavorful with plenty of variety on the menu. I've been a fan of their eggs, Benedict, but this time I switched it up and tried the brisket biscuit, wow! Absolutely, amazing, tender, juicy perfect way to start my day. The restaurant is spotless, and the team works hard to keep tables turned over quickly without making you feel rushed. We rarely have to wait long, even during busy times. This location has nailed the perfect mix of warm service, great food, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. read more

This place is so good and so crowded at the same time! Love it. Perfect breakfast and brunch place. I believe they use products from local farmers. Everything is very fresh and tasty. It's a quick pace environment with the Sunday brunch ambiance so keep that in mind. Forgot to take a picture of their chocolate chip pancakes but they are absolutely delicious. I wish they served espresso drinks as well but I do understand that it'd take up a lot of time from the team and affect the speedy food delivery. read more

I had eaten there once before and everything was excellent. Today, the breakfast was only so so. I had a veggie omelette which was bland tasting. My friend had poached eggs and they were more like hard boiled. We were seated and coffee was brought but no place setting for one of us. Water was brought and when I started to use my glass, it was used from whoever sat there last, apparently. The service was not good. read more
