Well I haven't been there for a couple of years. Really hungry as I had eaten nothing all day. I…read more took a train went downtown and did something. Coming back got off the train had a hankering for a little chocolate. I see they had pumpkin, I tried the pumpkin and it was extremely thick dough with heavy icing and it did not taste that pumpkin. it tasted more clove than anything else and it was really thick dough which I do not care for. I also asked for an angel cream eclair as this was the place where I had discovered them years ago. Again, really thick donut . I do not like those. But the kicker for me is it had a little bit of white frosting on the top in like a small pattern and I took a bite into the inside... It was custard. That is like a regular long John or perhaps a Boston cream. I told the girl what I wanted and this was not an angel cream eclair so I can now say I am officially and finally done forever with this place. The quality of the donuts was not that good, and they didn't give me what I asked for and she repeated it and I'm officially done. DO NOT GO HERE!

I came here on a Wednesday because their special donut is their peanut butter jelly donut. It's one…read moreof my favorites here and I saw that they also have a crunchy peanut butter and jelly option now too! I ended up getting 2 dozen because I couldn't figure out which ones I wanted. I got most of the PB & J donut for me and for work but I was also able to try the banana pudding donut which was excellent! You really can't go wrong with any of their flavors. It's a yeast donut and it's so soft and fluffy.

Has quite the unique selection of pretty much anywhere. The quality varies. It mostly seems like a bar. Pastries and treats in the bakery area seem like an afterthought to be honest. These aren't good at all in quality. Basically it's night from a store bakery. Then they bring these here to resell these. A good deal is a shot of any liquor. It's $3 or so for one. They have a pretty big variety. It's surprising because there's not much room in here. They really do have a lot. Has live music a few times a week it seems so go see when there's a free concert. It's a good way to get attention to a local business and help them a lot. The bakery is off to the side with mostly bags of chips and the most basic of snack items you can get anywhere cheaper than what they sell things.

I wanted to write a review because I worked here for about a month before being suddenly fired…read more The owner is nice, but her husband, who manages everything, created a very uncomfortable work environment. He frequently brought up politics, demographics, and "statistics" at work in ways that felt inappropriate and often came across as biased. It wasn't the kind of environment I expected from a workplace. I personally chose not to engage with these conversations because I was there to work, and I try to keep my personal beliefs separate from my workplace. However, being repeatedly exposed to these types of comments from management made the environment feel unprofessional. I also noticed that he would tell us certain employees had quit, but after speaking with those employees, I learned that was not always what happened. This made me feel like there was a lack of honesty and transparency in how situations were handled. One comment that really stuck with me was when he told me and another young female employee that we'd be prettier if we spoke more intelligently and that men would like us more. We are both very young girls, and that comment was incredibly inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. I was also told that if I came in early every day, I would receive a $1 raise. I did exactly that, and I received the raise on my final paycheck. Just a few days later, I was fired. It was confusing to be recognized with a raise and then immediately let go without being given a meaningful explanation. I was told I was being fired because I supposedly had an attitude with a customer. When I asked what had happened, I wasn't given a clear explanation and was simply told they had decided not to continue my employment. I work hard, take my jobs seriously, and I rarely leave negative reviews because I know everyone is trying their best. I didn't contact them afterward because I felt I had already been treated disrespectfully. After the way I was spoken to and the lack of honest communication, I didn't feel another conversation would have changed anything. As a customer, I also found the food to be average, especially for the price. Before I even worked here, my mom and I had cheesecake from the café on a few different occasions, and every time it had a noticeable freezer-burn taste. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. Based on my experience as both an employee and a customer, I would encourage people to support another family-owned café instead.

So I made the mistake of heading over here the day before Christmas Eve. I wanted to just pick up…read moresome cupcakes for the holiday to try out this "new" place I've heard so much about. Turns out, that everyone had the same idea, since the shop was closed Monday and Tuesday and that Wednesday was the first day back. I couldn't make it in time for opening, but about 90 minutes in; such a line!! I waited outside for 45 minutes, braving the cold winds as CDC guidelines only allow one guest in the tiny shop at a time. People were coming out with bags and bags of Hot Chocolate Bombs. When I made it into the store, that was obviously the main draw, although I did manage to take a couple cupcakes home, too. I scored two mint and two regular, both were filled with marshmallows. As I now was crazy intrigued at this entire fad, it definitely became the excitement of this more mundane holiday season. They were delicious (as were the cupcakes). Pro tip: follow the Cupcakery on Facebook. You'll not only know when there will be HCBs but also how many so you know how early to arrive to score some. They'll be making them as long as it remains cold out! Definitely worth the wait.

It has a pretty strange location that makes it seem out of place. Just don't judge it until you go in. The prices are pretty okay for being coffee that's local and independently owned. Basically the coffee is the main thing of course. It's got kind of a small selection but they only make the best stuff. There's the basics like the lattes and a few of the specialties too. Actually can be good to not be too complicated. It's about $5 to get a specialty coffee, which isn't that bad to be honest. Also has bags of coffee beans to go. The last time in here I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte. Like drinking cereal. They also have a few pastries. It's about $2 for a croissant. The Vegan Curved Croissant is one of these. Fluffy and still has a buttery flavor. There's also a few breakfast sandwiches. Finding it can be complicated. It's located in a building on Schoolhouse Road. There's also a pizza place in the same location so after going here you can go there.
