Just add a baguette to the basket and you got a meal. My very favorite soup is the Peach soup...only available during peach season. I can't wait for peach season to arrive again. Wine selection is the best in the area...according to me that is. Wine is important cause I like to drink it. It's no wonder I can't keep the wine cellar populated. But I will keep trying! Bakery is top shelf as well. King Cakes during Mardi Gras, lemon raspberry cake during summer, and everything else. Why bake if you can buy? This isn't shopping - it's an experience. So what's keeping you from trying it out...go ahead and head out now. YOu can thank me later.

Over time I've picked up treats for neighbors, co‑workers (the glazed croissants are unbelievable!), and one of the hardest‑working instructors at UD -- my fella. I dropped by yesterday hoping to try the Pączki and didn't realize they were a one‑day special. Instead of turning me away, they said, "Give us a few minutes." And just like that, I walked out with fresh Pączki and a little history lesson! Huge thanks to Ashley's for the delicious goodies and the kindness. It's why I keep coming back.

Wow! Val's rivals Columbus's Dan the Baker and is absolutely worth the morning weekend drive to…read moreDayton to get your very own! We took a quick trip from columbus to Dayton and were instantly impressed. This is definitely a cafe that loves its city and features many locally made wares. We got the garlic cream cheese danish, the Kellie pie danish, the orange monkey bread, and the buttered croissant. My only problem was that the croissant was covered in a brushing of sugar syrup and it would have been nice for it to just be a butter croissant. It was still delicious and perfectly fine just wish it would have been named more appropriately:) Staff are efficient but kind as there is always a line out the door. We were lucky to still grab some seats inside on a hot day; however, there is well shaded seating outside as well. 4 pastries are a lot for 2 people so we could not try any more. We can't wait to go back!!!!

There is a large indoor seating area. There is some street parking. If I had been parked better I would've lingered. Instead I chose 4 items to take away in a box. I enjoyed everything. They have some really interesting pastries and also the more typical ones. It's on the high $ side. In my opinion it's a treat, a special event kind of place. This is not a get a dozen for the kids ball game kind of spot. Again, just my opinion. I hope to return when I can sit and linger.

They offer pastries too, but I don't think they're made there, so they aren't always the freshest. Still, they're decent if you want something small to eat. Overall, it's a nice place to spend an afternoon, relax, and enjoy a coffee.

The vibes of the place were absolutely there. It was clean and well maintained. The service was, weird?

I definitely recommend checking it out and will be going back.
