    This place is kinda shabby and has convenience store for office workers vibes, but the food they serve is on point. The best cakes I've had in Olympia can be found here. That's not the greatest compliment, since mostly if you want a slice of cake, you gotta get it in the bakery of the grocery store and those cakes are overladen with frosting, but the fact that they use whipped cream icing on the cakes elevates their cake slices above the rest. The people are nice and very helpful, but the only thing I have against this place is they definitely just cater to the office crowd, because they are open in the morning and close at 3pm. If you're jonesing for cake like I am somedays, you're not going to get it after work, so they lose a star for that. I like that they have frozen pies, both in fruit and savory styles, so I'm going to have to try that.

    Dog friendly patio with delicious pastries and hot breakfast. Very much worth the visit during your time in Olympia!

    This little place is a true treat in every sense of the word! From the delectable little pastries and custom cookies, cakes and treats that are fun for all ages, to the gourmetesc sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. All accompanying each other with fruit, vegetable, and pasta salads, assorted cakes and sugary gifts from the baking Goddesses who put the craft in craftmanship that these truly represent. Fresh coffee, tea, or even a redbull if you crave it. All in a quaint and familiar setting for friends, family, or romantic nook for all to enjoy. Guilty pleasure each time I get to visit.

    The food was fantastic! It was probably the best avocado toast I have ever had. The toast was…read moreperfectly crunchy, the avocado was fresh and smooth, and the pickled onions added such a perfect touch with the acidity. We got the soup of the day, which was chili. I wish there were a little more sour cream, but it was still savory and delicious regardless. The lady who took our order was very helpful and super sweet. The place was clean, spacious, and very aesthetically pleasing. I don't go to Olympia very often, but I'll assure you I'm coming back for that toast!

    Food: 4/5 Drinks: 2/5…read moreService: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 If you're looking for a small sense of snootiness, this is your place to have a latte and a lite bite to eat. Our barista was kind of rude and, though we told her we would be a second, she stared us down until we decided what to have. For the drinks, white pumpkin latte, chai latte and an Irish cream coffee. The chai was spicy and the white pumpkin had no flavor. The Irish cream latte, however, was REALLY GOOD. The food, orange cardamom, maple pecan and early grey scones. The earl gray scone had a slightly off-putting texture and we realized it was GF (that was def user error) maple pecan since was good, so was the orange cardamom one. The tempeh Rueben, holy knock your socks off, that was an amazing bite. For being plant-based, it was spot on flavor wise, I was shocked! Oh! Super-pricey, buyer beware.

    Stopped here in the late afternoon to try a few treats. I'm a huge blueberry Danish fan and there…read morewas one left so I got it along with a chocolate macaroon. The danish was serviceable but wasn't anything special. Could be because it was later in the day so it wasn't as fresh as ones bought in the morning. The chocolate macaroon was ok, it was soft and flavorful with a thick slab of chocolate on top but similar to the danish in that it was fine, but wasn't the kind of pastry that blew me away or made me feel like I just had to buy it again. I left feeling mostly indifferent. If I come back I'd probably come early in the morning and try something else, or maybe the danish again and see if there's any difference.

    Can I just say this place is amazing? What a gem I found in Olympia on our way to Portland. I'm…read moregoing to make this place a regular stop now. I got a little bit scared when reading all the negative reviews about staff not being friendly and having an attitude. I was bracing myself but we had a wonderful gal serve us and the lines were so long and they were extremely busy that she forgot what iced tea we ordered so she gave us both! A chai iced tea and regular. It was so sweet. Also she forgot our croissant but then later comped us the croissant too! The service was amazing so I don't know who the other reviewers are talking about. Also the food was amazing. We requested the peppercini on the side and they totally accommodated and hooked us up. Our bagel sandwiches looked delish and packed with goodies and the pickle complements well with the bagel sandwiches. I also ordered the lemon meringue tart which was delicious. The salmon lox was also really good but we didn't care for the capers because it made it really sour. I would get it without the capers next time. Overall this place is wonderful and I would definitely come again to try their homemade bread/sandwiches next time! The lines are long for a reason.... It's good stuff! But the lines go relatively quickly. Just make sure you know what you want when it's your turn. Parking is basically street parking. I gave it 4 stars because I think it's a bit pricey but I would pay again because it's worth it.

Seriously the most beautiful, romantic (yes, a cake can look romantic damnit) looking cakes ever. Keep an eye out on IG & FB for when she does a sweetbun day. You DO NOT want to miss those days. Not even kidding, we buy anywhere between 6-12. They take us about a week to eat but oh man, we look forward to our evening sweetbuns during that time. They keep very well in the fridge; just pop one... or two in the micro for a minute-ish. They're the perfect amount of sweet. Ya know how everyones favorite part of a sweetbun is the middle? I mean, it's for good reason, its delicious. I actually cannot pick what part of her sweetbuns are my fave. The entire thing is special in its own way. The fluffy outside with a kiss of all the gooey cinnamon mixture covered in the cream cheese icing. Then moving around to the middle where both sides are covered and its a little softer. The texture when you finally make it to the middle, just go ahead and plop it all in your mouth. Goodness, whens the next sweetbun day?
