Amazing baker/bakery and delicious Lemon Chiffon Cake!! Molly is amazing, so kind in her…read morecorrespondences with me and answered all of my many questions, and was even very understanding when my mom and I were running late for pickup (I still feel badly, I am SO sorry!)!! Most importantly, the cake was GORGEOUS and absolutely delicious!! This was for my sister's lemon themed baby shower and it was perfect. She is notoriously picky about her cakes, so much so that she usually just makes them herself, and she LOVED this cake! The only minor thing that we would have liked to change, was that there was a couple of small chocolate shards artfully displayed on the top, and we'd been counting on it being plain because that's how it was described on the menu online, and when we tried to remove the pieces it started to mess with the beautiful icing - so we just left it. It still looked beautiful with the topper that we got for the shower, even after it melted in the heat (oops)!! We definitely would go back here, it is so worth it!!!

I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this shop. It has a very warm and welcoming feel, with tall ceilings that make the space feel open and airy. When I first arrived it was quite busy, filled with families laughing and enjoying their time together, which created a lively and friendly environment. As someone who is more introverted, the crowd was a bit overwhelming at first, but it eventually cleared out and became a very comfortable place to relax. The staff were also incredibly kind. Since I had never tried a macaron before, I ordered a rose macaron to taste, and it was absolutely delicious. They also gave me a complimentary sample of their coffee, which was excellent. It was the house blend. And the bags they sell are very reasonably priced. The café is very well priced, with drinks ranging the $5-8 mark, and the foods ranging $3-8- and the quality of the food and drinks are quite rich in taste! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely be coming back.

Shelly and the staff are sweet as can be. Easy spot to sit for a view and a cinnamon roll.read more

There aren't many places open in the area on Sunday, but I saw this place had coffee and pastries…read moreso we decided to give it a try. It was pretty busy inside, but after a bit we were able to order. I ordered an iced soy latte with a pump of almond. Also a regular iced latte. I also ordered a few pastries, the Kouign Amann, Almond Croissant, and Goat Cheese and Herb croissant. They unfortunately don't heat up any pastries which I wish they would because I do think it would make the pastries better. The Kouign was my favorite. It was crunchy and delicious and sweet, I would get again. The goat cheese croissant was pretty good but nothing too special. As for the Almond Croissant, I was very disappointed. It had hardly any almond filling, and there was no almond flavor. I wish they would put slivered almonds on it but it was completely lacking. I would skip the almond croissant completely. As for the coffee, I got a regular iced latte and a Soy almond latte. The coffee was not good at all and it makes me sad to say but after a few sips... I had to throw it away! I felt like it threw away $7. It was very watery and the syrup tasted off. This is usually my go-to at other shops but I just couldn't drink this at all. Overall it was cool to try a pastry or two but I wouldn't make another trip here.

The fruit cake came with 4, after tax it was around $50 for the four which was a bit pricey. But I wanted to try so I figured it was worth it. My favorite flavors were the Mango Coconut and the pistachio pomegranate. They had a delicious crunch and flavor. Each of the pastries were crunchy and satisfying to bite into. I also got a few macaroons to try. I got the pistachio and birthday cake. The birthday cake was fine but didn't taste like cake to me, but the pistachio had a delicious strong pistachio flavor. I definitely want to try the other desserts when I visit next time! They all looked so delicious.
