Decided to stop in to this fairly new breakfast place. We got an Asiago bagel with cream cheese…read more It was great with just the right amount of chew. Everything is house made here and it all looked so yummy! The service was great and the owner is very nice and friendly. Feels like a hometown place where you would know lots of people. It is decorated really cute and has lots of seating for different group sizes. Please try this place!

This is a truly hidden gem, partly because they are only open one morning of one day a week…read more(Saturday), so they aren't widely well known. However, their dedicated customer base means that they sell out of everything basically by lunch time, and the really popular items within just an hour or two. Their bagels are fantastic, and i love how many different and varied flavours they offer. I'm a sucker for a good savoury bagel, and they have so many great options: Asiago cheese, cheddar and jalapeño, old bay, "low country," the list goes on! They also have savoury scones which are fantastic. Their sweet offerings, both in bagels and pastries, shouldn't be missed either. The service is on par with the excellent food, and you can really tell that they love their job and their customers. There's always a smile behind the counter, even at the crazy busiest time, and the owners are often outside greeting people and getting to know their customers. The store gets the job done, but it's not as cozy as you might expect or want for the best bakery in Aiken. If they could make it a warmer feel with big plush armchairs I'm not sure I'd ever leave.

They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The customer service here is top-notch--truly attentive and genuinely friendly without being overbearing. It creates such a fun and chill atmosphere, the perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. But the real star of the show is the food. Every dish we tried was absolutely amazing; fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. This isn't just a meal, it's an experience. Go now--you won't regret it! read more
