I ordered a sourdough loaf to take home and couldn't resist having breakfast there too. I tried the Garden Sesame Bagel Sandwich, and it was really good! The flavors were fresh and satisfying. Next time, I'll probably ask for a little less sprouts, but otherwise I really enjoyed it. My friend had The Works Bagel, which looked absolutely delicious and definitely made me want to try it next time. We also shared a blueberry scone, and WOW !!it was phenomenal! It was definitely one of my favorite parts of the visit. I paired everything with a latte, which was a great way to start the morning. Great spot for a casual Saturday breakfast, especially if you're looking for good bagels, pastries, coffee, and sourdough to take home. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Since I was not familiar to the place, I was early...only to see a sign on a sheet of paper that they will be open at 8:30 am that day. Not a biggie but due to an unfamiliar area for me, I just sat inside my care and waited. When the door opened, the smell of freshly baked bread was inviting. The shop though...well, maybe it's just too early in the day or not. I was the 3rd customer in line....1st lady maybe forgot to take her morning pills and was grumpy about not having her usual pastry available and was having this high pitched conversation with the store person for her wrong math calculation for her baked goods. The 2nd customer waited patiently and got his long list of order. Then when I heard the price total...yep! This bakery has pricey goods. My turn came and all I said was TooGoodToGo...their day old pastries that were sold for lesser price. Maybe waiting patiently paid off since the man gave me 2 bags containing 6 pastries (I only paid for a bag)! I heated one muffin when I got home...and they were good! Will I make the trip again....uhmm....maybe.

I tried the honeycomb apple pastry, which was light, airy, and nicely flaky. I would have enjoyed a little more apple filling, but overall it was still very good. The croissant was also good - light and flaky, and a simple cup of coffee made for a nice pairing. It's a small, tucked-away spot with the bakery operating in the back, giving it a bit of a hidden industrial-area bakery feel. The woman helping us was especially friendly and helpful. A nice little find and an easy stop for coffee and a fresh pastry.

I'm not personally gluten sensitive, though a couple friends I was with are, and honestly I wouldn't have known it was gluten-free based on the quality and taste alone. The drinks were solid too and paired well with everything we ordered. The whole place has a calm neighborhood bakery feel to it, and you can tell it's a spot locals come back to often.

Great customer service comes with owning up to the mistakes. I never like leaving a bad review unless it's warranted. You may not like what real customers have to say, but I was not the first to notice the same issue. Fix the issue and you'll have great reviews. It all goes with owning a business I never make bad reviews so it was easy to figure out where this message came from. Had planned to give this place another try and update my review but NEVER MIND!!!!! Responding to me as the owner and then changing your name to reply again, months later, shows that you are clearly UNPROFESSIONAL.

Went by this place early in the morning (love that they open at 5am) and got myself some freshly baked goods before flying out of town. They're friendly, it's super fresh and tasted amazing. They were struggling a bit with having everything organized due to covid, people wearing masks, long line outside etc. It must be tough for a small business but the restrictions have been eased up and they should adjust accordingly to make it easier not only for themselves but minimize the wait time for customers as well. read more

I grew up on the east side and my tastebuds are very familiar with the pastries of this kind along with the tamales and things. I love the set up. Upon walking in there are trays and tongs that you pick up so nothing is touched with your bare hands as you shop. Conchas (Mexican Pan Dulce) is what I was after but once I started shopping, I ran into other breads and rolls I was very familiar with. I was totally impressed by the avocados near the register. They were nice and huge. Also they sold corn tamales and the cashier who was impressively friendly and efficiently professional let me know that they will soon sell Salvadorian tamales. This is a top notch bakery. They have so many customers that their side of the street stays busy and customers come out with serious bags!!!
