Second time here and so far so good with the breakfast bagels/croissants. Store was clean but the…read moremenu you can't see for shit. I had a very hard time reading the menu and I have great eyesight so that should tell you something it also sits too high. Both times when visiting two different staff were rude and wouldn't read me the menu or really tell me if they had what I wanted. "We have a variety of bagels" is the response I got both time. They just stand there staring at me. You guys need to train your staff of proper customer service, communication and learn the menu. I've had their job and that would've been my ass if I did that!!

This is an updated review! Things have got better throughout the year. The tables are still very…read morecrowded and packed together so it's hard to sit and not listen in on other conversations. The smoke/ventilation has improved but could still be better. I did recently get a bagel to go with cream cheese but when I got home, there was barely any cream cheese on my bagel. I had to go back to the shop and request more, which they did fulfill free of charge. The manager hasn't yelled out orders in a while so the more silent sound radiating throughout the shop is more pleasant to be in, especially in the mornings. The decor could still use some updating. I'll continue to go because the bagels are good and it's been a local spot for along time that I like to support.

Great spot for some "designer" cinnamon rolls. You can create your own (tons of frosting options…read moreand toppings for days) or try one of their specialties that are displayed when you walk in. The lemon frosting and blueberries did me in! The only thing I'll note is they don't open until 10 which is late if you want these bad boys for breakfast but they close later than most "bakeries". Still worth a try!

They weren't really friendly. Not really worth it to drive all the way out there for it. Also, it seems they only sell things if you order online first, (can you do this for just a couple items? It's not clear.) unless they happen to be doing a 'pop-up store' in the driveway. We didn't know and could easily have driven all the way out there for nothing.

I came here after receiving an email about holiday pies. I haven't yet ordered a pie but I did wish…read morethey had more details about it before deciding to buy one (such as the diameter of the pie or whether the pie is cooked or frozen). I was curious about their other items though and ended up trying their circular croissant filled with espresso creme, chocolate croissant, regular croissant, and chocolate chip cookie. My boyfriend really liked his croissant and I really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie. Service here was friendly and helpful. The prices are a bit more expensive but with such few bakeries around this area, you are paying for convenience and availability.

Milk was also available! Definitely check them out for your donut fix no matter where you're from!

So I guess no more Brick Street Bakery? Great location. No donut cases displaying donuts. We had to ask about the donuts and it was 8am. They had the "fancy" donuts, you know the ones that people get creative with cereals and stuff. No plain every day donuts. I got the apple fritter. It had cherries in it, I didn't know that. The 2 ladies that were there were super sweet. There is some seating inside and outside. And you can see the old architecture of the building inside and out which makes it fun. They are only open 6am-2pm. Will need to go back and try their pizza as I was not impressed with the donut.

We had to try the goodies.. so I got the maple frosted cake donut. I wasn't expecting much... I'm not a huge fan of cake donuts because every one I've had has left me dry-mouthed and searching for water... but not here! Brick Street's donuts were not dry at all! Moist and perfectly sweet! The coffee (we just have it black) was smooth and tasty. My husband enjoyed his gooey sticky-bun :)
