Every donut I purchased was cold and felt like it had just come out of a refrigerator. There is something especially disappointing about going to a bakery first thing in the morning and being handed cold donuts that taste and feel like leftovers. If I wanted refrigerated donuts at 8:00 in the morning, I could have bought a box at a grocery store the night before. A bakery should be able to offer something better than that.

This place is amazing. Seriously I could hang out here all day. When you walk in it feels like an…read moreItalian place on the east coast (but with much nicer ppl). I'm very impressed at the selection of fresh pasta, sauces and desserts. I had a chicken pesto panini which was huge and delicious. I could only eat half of it. But that's ok because I saved room for cannoli which was amazing. There's a lovely spot for outdoor dining as well. I've been on the hunt for a good pesto sandwich and this place lives up to the hype! I placed a to go order online and it was ready in 15 mins. My only suggestion is wrap the Togo sandwiches in foil so they stay warm.

Let's start with the sweets because honestly, that's still this place's strong suit. I've grabbed…read morecookies and random goodies from the case before, and they've never missed. Today though, I walked in thinking this might be it... my hunt for the best fired pizza in South Bend might finally be over. I saw the giant pizza oven and thought, "yeah, this is about to be serious." So naturally... I stayed for lunch. It was busy, but the self-serve kiosk made ordering easy. I went all in Pepperoni Pizza, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Shrimp Diavolo. For a packed lunch rush, 15-20 minutes wasn't bad at all. Now... the pizza. I wanted to love it. I really did. But it just didn't show up. It was pretty bland overall, and most of the flavor came from the cupped pepperoni which tasted like something you'd grab off a store shelf. The sauce tried to make a comeback, but it got completely overshadowed. The rest of the food? Honestly solid. The Chicken Noodle Soup hit the spot, and the Shrimp Diavolo was actually really good. So yeah the pizza hunt continues. The oven might look impressive, but it's not ending anyone's search just yet. But the sweets? Still a slam dunk. -The interior was clean and the seating area is large.

I ordered a cheese arepa, Spanish chorizo arepa, and scrambled egg and cheese arepa. What I got was a cold piece of cheese in an arepa, sliced and grilled hot dog or some sort of Polish sausage in an arepa, and a sort of over easy egg and cheese in an arepa. The cold cheese seemed odd in a hot sandwich and it wasn't that good. The chorizo was not actual chorizo. Personally I really dislike over easy eggs...so that arepa was barely nibbled. So overall just disappointing. Frankly, making mistakes like this is a choice and not a good one.

I figured, "No way he's actually going to give me the side with the hole." But then he cut the sandwich in half, put the normal side away, and toasted the half with the huge hole in it. Out of 20 different halves he could've picked from, he gave me the one that was basically missing the top bun. The hole was so big I couldn't even hold the sandwich without my fingers going straight into the filling. I honestly can't believe he gave me that piece. It's comical he gave me that piece. I'm forever disappointed lol
