    Cute little spot, their bagel sandwiches are delicious. Service was wonderful, the worker has been there for over 20 years and makes everything fresh to order. Would go back!

    Great find. I deviated from my Starbucks routine as I just wanted somewhere close, and found this place. How have I lived so close for a year and never noticed it? I went in today and it smelled wonderful! The owner Christina was friendly and knowledgeable beyond compare to a coffee house I've been to before. I mentioned I was an iced coffee girl and she just started walking me through options. I ended up with an iced salted caramel turtle with oat milk and it was amazing! Christina shared that if I call ahead she will run my drink out to me too! I tried one of her customizable breakfast sandwiches and that was so good and what a great price at $3.75! I will definitely be back!!!!!

    I came in here for the first time today and really enjoyed my visit! The owner is very friendly and helps you find what you would like. I got a butter pecan coffee and a breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel. So good and put sbux to shame!!

    Plenty of sugar free options!!!

    We almost didn't make this stop because of time, but I'm sure glad we did! Coming home from camping…read moreand this was an easy stop close off the highway. My husband was able to drop me at the door and then pull the truck and camper around the block and parked on the street across the road to wait for me. The store itself was bright, welcoming, and a good amount of seating. I didn't go into the back area but there were 2 cozy chairs up front by a big open window to sit and wait for my order. Fresh pastries and kolaches, scones, cookies displayed nicely in the front case. They didn't have sausage, egg, and cheese kolaches ready at the moment I was there, so we ended up ordering 3 bacon, egg, and cheese and 1 jalapeno sausage and cheese kolaches and everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed them. We have an American kolache near us and everyone in the family said these were bigger and they enjoyed the taste of the dough much better. My son really enjoyed the jalapeno and cheese one. It was perfect for him B/c he doesn't like eggs and loves the jalapeno kick. I am super picky with my cinnamon rolls. My favorite cinnamon roll ever was from Bumbleberry Inn outside Zion National Park. I am always on the search for a similar roll. I almost didn't get one as I prefer traditional and the ones left were a little small in size. For same pricing (much larger), I opted to get one of their strawberry ones and try it out. It was very satisfactory. Nice and soft, good gooey center, and they use a fresh strawberry compote. It also tasted like it had maybe lemon zest or juice in it to add a pop of citrus. Flavor was spot on and I'll gladly get a cinnamon roll here again. I ordered a large Berry Sweet Smoothie to split between my 3 kids and they all loved the flavor. I loved that it was fresh and simple, clean ingredients-strawberries, bananas, Greek yogurt and milk. We try to avoid dyes and preservatives so I had reached out on fb messenger,maybe 20 minutes prior when I found the location on the map, and asked about things we may be able to order. I'm assuming it was the owner who replied, but she was quick to reply and assure me everything except the jello items were without. The girls on front staff confirmed they used a strawberry compote on the cinnamon roll and went over ingredients in the smoothie. This is much appreciative! I know it takes extra time and questions they usually don't get, but I'm very much an ingredient mom so I don't visit restaurants/bakeries often. I'm very appreciative of the ones that help me review ingredients! I also noticed they use Monin syrups and many of these are dye free so I know on our next visit if my kids would like a coffee drink, I'd be able to order them one! Okay and then lastly, the coffee...and truly main reason I stopped. They are working on a coffee menu, so I couldn't prepare what to order ahead of time. I'm very basic and don't do syrups, but my favorite drink is a flat white. I was a little nervous they wouldn't know how to make it but when I asked, she said she could definitely do that. The drink was a little low on the amount in cup but I assume that is because of how it is made. Certain drinks just have less ratio. My other worry is that the milk will always overwhelm the espresso flavor. This was balanced perfectly. I didn't feel like I was just drinking steamed milk foam. I could taste the espresso and it was a good, smooth flavor. I would for sure order this again. The only thing I might ask for next time is maybe just fill the rest of the cup space with some brewed coffee. Highly, highly would recommend making this a regular place if you are local or making it a designated stop, like we will, if you are a couple hours away. This will now be a forever stop when we are traveling to campsites in the area! Thank you to the Baked and Brewed team!

My wife and I stopped in on a Sunday morning and Mandy provided amazing customer service from the moment we walked in. She told us all about the shop, including how the pastries are baked fresh in-house and the sourdough bread is homemade and sold by the loaf. The owner started at the Arnold Farmers Market and opened this café just 7 months ago, which makes supporting this local business even better. I ordered the honey lavender iced latte and it was one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. Great coffee, homemade pastries, and a welcoming atmosphere -- we'll definitely be back!

But other than that that's the only complaint that I have. Friendly staff, amazing food and drink. I love the lotus crepe as well as the barbecue chicken, I have to admit I could eat one of those about every single day of my life. I loved the banana bread espresso. There's four shots in it so just FYI. Maybe don't drink it after 5:00 p.m. like I did but it was still worth it. The ambiance of this place is absolutely adorable with a rich emerald colored green chair and couch with nice cognac colored armchairs, and a nice fireplace at the head of the cafe gives a cozy and warm ambiance as well as the beautiful Christmas decorations that they had while I was there made it a place that a lot of people wanted to hang out. There were at least six other tables with friends and family just chatting which honestly led to a really nice sense of community which a lot of places in America don't have. And I found this place to be absolutely lovely and worth every penny. A true gem to Oakville!

    This has to be the worst DD I have ever experienced. I placed a mobile order for a drive thru pick…read moreup. When I arrived and got into the drive thru line, I say 5 cars in front of me and decided to try to back up to just go inside, but that's when another car pulled in right behind me so I was stuck (thanks to the cars and the curb). After 5 minutes of not moving at all, I was really starting to get annoyed and lose patience. What is the point of a drive thru if it's going to take so long? I got in the line around 10:13 a.m. and by the time I pulled around to speaker box, it had already been over 15 minutes in line!!!! Then, it took another 8 minutes from the speaker box to the window. Even watching people go inside to order, I noticed that it was taking them 10-15 minutes before they were coming back out. No idea why it was taking so long to pour coffee and grab donuts. There are other drive thru's at much busier places that do not take that long. I will never come back to this location again.

    The reviews were already trending bad for this location, I should have listened! It was raining…read morewhen I pulled up to the drive-through, there were 6 cars ahead of me. I already knew what I wanted, so I figured my time at the window would be short. It seemed to take a really long time to get to the ordering window, let alone the pickup window. When I ordered the $6 special that is being advertised, I was told that they were out of bacon as well as the bagel the sandwich normally comes on. Really? Once I ordered, the drive to the pick up line moved quickly. The cashier verified again that I would accept the sourdough bread, and sausage instead of bacon. I was pleasantly surprised to be offered the caramel syrup for my coffee, and I was happy to accept it. I've never been inside this location , but what I could see from my car looked nice. The main source of my disappointment was the substitutes. It seems every time I come, there is at least one necessary substitution. Maybe if I had come earlier in the morning... Edited to add: once I opened my sandwich, I realized that it was marked wrong. Do better, Dunkin'!

I arrived early at around 8:15. This is a relatively small establishment with a small parking lot. It looks like they have a trailer available for mobile coffee service too. They were fairly busy and it seemed like only one person was working. This made the wait a bit longer than I expected, but the employee was working very hard and making good time considering she was alone. I enjoyed listening to the alternative music and hanging out in the store. It was clean and comfortable. I ordered one of their March specials, the Peanut Butter Guts, as I love coffee and peanut butter together. I also ordered a cookie from Cookie Hustle (which I think is like a sister business housed under the same roof) -- a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Sounded so good! I enjoyed my coffee drink. It definitely had a detectable and enjoyable peanut butter flavor, as well as the mocha. I think it was a tiny bit heavy on milk for my preference, but overall it was tasty. I ate the cookie later and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect chewy snickerdoodle texture and lots of yummy spices. I wish I'd gotten several different cookies to try more! When I showed up at breakfast with my coffee, my family remarked on how much they like this little shop and keep coffee from here at their house for special occasions. High praise! If you're in the area, give them some love! :)

Was happy to see that it wasn't crowded as I sometimes get anxious in a crowded place especially when the space is small. I was greeted once I went up to the counter. Not soon after I get up to the counter more people started to come in so I felt rushed and since it was my first time I wasn't expecting to be so many options that I panicked and just ordered the first thing I saw on the menu. Think it was a dolche latte maybe. Got it hot in a 12oz with almond milk and quickly checked out as others were behind me. I st down in one of the chairs by the door since I had an hour to kill and wanted to wait till I got the chance to go back and look at the rest of the menu. Little did I know that the place would just get busier and my time was up and had to leave. I did enjoyed my short time there while sipping on my late and watching my Kdrama and my late was really delicious. Now that I know about this place I will continue to visit while my daughter is at dance. I'll be back!!
