The…read morewait is never long but the availability of my favorite bagel (pumpernickel) is sadly hit or miss :( Dolce sells ice cream but their main business is coffee and breakfast/lunch options. If that doesn't interest you there is a fridge with canned beverages, etc too. The ambience is coffee shop chic and has an average noise level. For a small town I find pricing to be high but that's the Starkville Premium I suppose :/ Regarding bagels, I find the amount of cream cheese to be quite excessive which I suppose is a better "problem" than too little, but seriously... it could easily provide cover 3-5 bagels!! 1 star deduction for inconsistent bagel availability. Tip: best bagels hands down (flow in from NYC)

I walked in and went up to the counter to look and was rudley told to order at the back. I then had…read moreto wait for the cashier to finish her conversation with her coworkers before she even took my order. I asked for it to be toasted but the bagel showed no signs of being toasted and was still cold in the center. For $3.00 I was expecting a real NY style bagel, not whatever that was. Kroger makes a better closer to authentic bagel than this place. I was excited when I found out about this place, but terrible customer service and the lackluster bagel made sure I will never return.

And they…read more are still in the soft opening phase, I expect things will be running more smoothly very soon. The young woman who waited on me has only been here for a day and needed extra assistance, as we all do when we begin a new job, nevertheless she was super pleasant and was happy to find out any information that I asked of her. The ambience is more formal (dark, chic and modern) than the hippie independent coffee shop vibe that existed when the space was 929 coffee. Pricing is on par with Starkville (higher end of average), and there was a selection of baked goods and at least six different kinds of biscuits (classic, sausage/cheese, confetti, lemon-blueberry, peach-brown sugar, and orange-cranberry). YES, they serve lunch after 11AM (sandwiches and salads) , so I'll DEFINITElY be back to try them out and do an updated review. I'm met the owner, Matthew, who was like a hummingbird going to and fro troubleshooting, inquiring about satisfaction, and educating folks about their new coffee from Austin, Texas (Cuvee) which is smooth and delightful. He is super enthusiastic and was fun to chat with. I noted three BIG improvements: 1. the outside tile entry is finally leveled and fixed; 2. the bathroom faucets are upgraded - yay!!; and 3. the menu is now on a large TV screen on the wall and to the left of the register. This can be updated to notate when things are sold out and provide explanations for coffee options. The font size could be larger (maybe bold print?) for easier viewing. As with the former business I look forward to spending many more afternoons on the shaded front porch here people watching and reading . Ideas for improvements/future consideration: 1. mounted fans for warmer months to cool patrons on the porch and keep pesky flies away; and 2. mounted heaters to make outdoor seating more comfortable in much cooler months. I look forward to seeing what else Matthew will come up with (hoping he'll bring more freshly made breakfasts a la 929 style... sure do miss their food...) and wishing High Ground success. ** I didn't venture downstairs so cannot comment on the vibe there.

I just don't think it's that good, any of it really... I don't even go inside any more when we stop. There is nothing that I want enough to burn the calories on. My wife won't ever admit it, but we throw away most of what we buy every single time. No one eats it. It just sits there and molds. I take that back, the rolls (maybe butter horns, am I making that up?) are pretty good. I'll tear them suckers up right out of the toaster oven. The cinnamon rolls, baked goods, and loaf breads are all dry and taste to be made with dirt cheap ingredients to me. Chex mix stuff is even bland. How is that!?!?!? I've never had a sandwich so maybe I am missing out. I'm not a big sandwich guy though. It's just not my thing. Last time we came through, she got Lasagna and some Ham and Potato Casserole. After taking a bite of the lasagna, I checked the ingredients and number two on the list is Cottage Cheese! What in the actual...?? Who does that? Not a sign of any garlic at all. Look at my pics for the ingredients yourself. Ham and Potato thing was terrible. Just awful. She didn't even eat that. I'm not even sure who would like that. Additionally, the directions are crap in the casseroles. Double them all as far as time is concerned. I'm not sure if it's my tastebuds that are shit now from all of the spicy food I am used to, or if this stuff is really not as good as the mystique and nostalgia that country folks like to say it has. People are friendly, the place is fairly well kept for an old country bakery . You can see the kitchen making the baked goods. I just don't dig it. '24 - 48/100
