Stopped in for lunch and left with way more than I planned on buying (as usual with good bakeries)…read more Got the turkey croissant sandwich, which was solid -- the croissant itself was flaky and clearly baked in-house. We also ordered a simple ham and cheese omelette, served with a side of their sliced baguette -- again assuming was fresh baked, because it was delicious. Simple dish, done right, which honestly says a lot about a kitchen. But the danishes stole the show. We grabbed a few to try, and the blueberry one was outstanding -- like, stopped-mid-conversation-to-comment-on-it good. Not overly sweet, good fruit-to-pastry ratio, perfect texture. Ariana helped us and was an absolute sweetheart -- even let us sample a pastry we were debating on before we committed. That kind of thing goes a long way, especially when you're trying to decide between six things that all look amazing in the case. Atmosphere was great too, comfortable spot to sit and eat instead of just grab-and-go. Will definitely be back to work through the rest of the pastry case. 10/10. Photos didn't make the cut unfortunately, next time!

I couldn't decide what to get, and they offered great recommendations and advice. Shawn answered all of my questions with such attentiveness and patience. You can tell that everyone who works here takes pride in what they do. Shawn recommended the passion fruit mango pastry, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor was amazing and refreshing! I also bought a couple more pastries and they were just as good. I'll definitely be coming back. Not to be cheesy, but if I could give this place six stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommend!

The owners…read moreand their son have always been incredibly kind, welcoming, and appreciative of the neighboring businesses. Their son in particular is phenomenal and always made every interaction pleasant. The baked goods are fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. While there was one interaction in the past that felt a little more business-focused than hospitality-focused regarding a mall discount, it was far from enough to take away from the overall experience this bakery consistently provides. Manager ( not the owners ) was upset I wasn't able to offer a mall discount when they were able too. Came to the point she would verbally say we wouldn't ( myself and crew members) wouldn't be receiving it. Personally not a big deal. Most I'd spend was 5-7$ and discount was less than a dollar. Still a phenomenal bakery At the end of the day, great ownership, great products, and great people. Small businesses like this deserve support, and I'm always happy to recommend them.

Extremely Disappointing Service -- It's About the Principle…read more We ordered a tuna brioche sandwich and were asked whether we wanted a salad or fries. I clearly said fries. When I received the bill, I noticed I had been charged separately for the sandwich and a side of fries. Since we were sharing the sandwich, I asked for it to be cut in half. After having to ask again, the sandwich finally arrived on a small plate. We then had to ask for a second plate so we could each have our own. The entire experience felt unnecessarily complicated and showed a real lack of attention to basic customer service. After waiting more than half an hour, we asked about the fries we had ordered and already paid for. Instead of simply checking the order, the server asked to see my receipt, which made me feel as though he was questioning whether I was telling the truth. After some time, he returned and admitted that he had made a mistake when charging us. He explained that what I had paid for the fries was actually the full price of the sandwich, and if we still wanted fries, we would have to pay for them again. The fries were only $2, so this was never about the money. What was upsetting was the principle. You made the mistake, not the customer. I had already left approximately a 20% tip, and I simply expected the restaurant to honor the mistake rather than come back and ask me for another $2. When I pointed this out, I was told the manager would not allow it. Honestly, the $2 mistake cost you a customer. I will not return, and I would not recommend this place. It's not about the price of the fries--it's about how you make your customers feel. After spending our money here and leaving a good tip, I expected to feel that our business was appreciated. Instead, I left feeling that it simply wasn't.

I stopped here for a midday pick-me-up on a hot summer day. Although this shop has coffee in its…read morename, it actually has quite a variety of matcha and tea based drinks too! I ordered an iced sea salt jasmine tea (large). I ordered through their website on my way there. When I went in to pick it up, the jasmine tea was waiting in the fridge for me and they topped it with the sea salt foam right before they handed it over, so that the foam would be nice and fresh. Once they add the foam it starts slowly blending with the tea, so I think it's nice that they make it fresh like that. I ordered 25% sweet tea, and it was just right. Honestly I bet even unsweetened would have been good too. The jasmine tea has a very strong floral taste, more so than other jasmine teas I've had at other places, which I think offsets some of the need for sweetness, and the sea salt foam was actually quite sweet as well. It was sweeter foam than 85C Bakery, which is my other go-to place. I enjoyed my drink and I thought the amount of foam they put on top was great (I like a lot of foam). The coffee/tea shop itself seems pretty nice. Although I didn't stay or order food, they do have a nice seating area where I saw a lot of people on their computers, and they have food items on their menu too.

I'm rating this bellow average because it's about 8-10 bucks for their largest size is about 30% smaller than a large at any other coffee shop (more comparable to a grande at Starbucks) overall not worth the money, there isn't much of an experience to justify the price like you'd expect from a novelty or mom and pop coffee shop. If you ask me they will be under water by this time next year if Starbucks couldn't justify this space in the mall there's no way Gregory is going to cut it.

You see, my husband and I had just returned from Turkiye in the past year and we had the best Turkish delight and baklava there. How does this place stack up? Well, we ordered a few pieces to try. They sell the Turkish delights by weight so we did not go too crazy. My hubs wanted to try the chocolate strawberry, so we got a few pieces. I also ordered the pistachio and a piece of the pistachio baklava ($2.99). We spent a little under $11 there. The store was clean and the treats were tasty. Service was great. We ate them all before leaving the mall. Was it as good as being in Turkiye? Not quite, but close. 4 stars.
