I was excited to find Agape Juice a few months ago especially since they are so close to where I live. During my first visit, I ordered three smoothies and two juices. While the service was fairly friendly, the smoothies were a bit too icy for my liking and the prices were higher than advertised. Despite this, I decided to give them another chance before writing a review. I love that it's locally owned and operated by two sisters. The store exuded a charming and cozy-home-like atmosphere. During my recent visit, I noticed one of the owners sitting at a table near the register, engrossed in her laptop. It took her a moment to rise and greet me, asking "How can I help you?" Her lack of enthusiastic and energetic greeting made me feel like I was bothering her, and I almost considered leaving. I ordered two acai bowls and was glad when she agreed to swap out one of the toppings since my mom is allergic to strawberries. The highlight of my experience was my interaction with the owner's mom, who explained that she was filling in for one of her daughters while handing me my order. Her friendly demeanor made the experience more enjoyable. While I wanted to give a 3-star review, I decided to bump it up to 4 stars because I admire their commitment to promoting good health. However, this review is really a 3-star review because despite following the recommended instructions to freeze the bowls first for 10 mins before eating, the texture of the Acai bowls had both an icy and watery texture. It lacked the creamy consistency that I usually look for in a good acai bowl. Additionally, the toppings were sparse. I felt like I only got a teaspoon of granola. For $12.50, the bowl size was significantly smaller compared to other places I've been to. Overall, although I live very close to the place, I most likely will not return. Note: The prices on their in-store menus are still outdated.

It's little things like that that make this place feel special. Today we had hot vanilla lattes and they were excellent. We're also big fans of the breakfast tacos and avocado toast -- both are really good. After coming here so often, Blockhouse has definitely become "our" coffee shop.

Patty's Bakery and Bistro was my latest find after a short search for a great breakfast. I was…read morepleasantly impressed to find that a bakery had a menu that offered such a selection covering breakfast and lunch items. The location of the restaurant is not immediately visible from the Main Street. It was tucked away on the rear of a building creating a little challenge to find. My visit was during a weekday morning and no other patrons were inside. A completely empty restaurant is usually a cause for concern for me. Patty's is set up for orders at a counter in the back of dining room then take a number to the table for delivery. The dining room is very bright and simply decorated but spacious for a bistro. I ordered the Grandma's Morning Casserole and it was a solid 5/5 with great quality sausage and bacon. Everything about the dish is near perfect, especially the tasty crispy tater tots. My request for a croissant with the breakfast was honored and it was delicious. This gave me idea to check out more baked good from the showcase. I purchased a carrot cake to go and later wished I had bought two. The cake wasn't the traditional style with nuts and shredded carrots. Instead, the cake was the consistency of pound cake that came covered in a rich chocolate drizzled over the top. Perhaps, I got lucky with my first impression but I'm eager to give them another opportunity to repeat the great experience.

Such a nice looking cafe. When you first walk in there is a bright elegance to the place. Their…read moresignage outside & their website only says "Patty's Bakery" but they are so much more than a bakery! Don't miss that they are a "Bistro" also. The cashier/barista Laura was so friendly and we enjoyed talking to her. You order at the counter, water is self service from a water station and the food is delivered to your table. I was here for Saturday brunch & got the "special omlette" with ham substituted for the prosciutto. The ham is deli-type ham. The omelette was very flavorful & tasty, however, definitely thinner than I am accustomed to eating. It did not come with any bread option or side item so make sure you look at the breakfast side items (only located on the Saturday/Sunday brunch menu, not the main menu) or ask about side items. I don't have a large appetite & I must admit I was still a little hungry. I inquired about bread after I finished & they offered to bring me some toast but I was already done eating. I had a bite of hubby's breakfast sausage & croissant. I'm not a big sausage person but the sausage tasted smoky with a hint of sweetness and it was yummy! The croissant was also buttery & good. I'd add that to my omelette order next time. Of course we had to try some sweets since there were so many options. We got the carrot cake; it's Brazilian style, which differs from the standard American version. The cake had carrots only, no nuts, a little less sweet, pound cake-like consistency and topped with chocolate. I enjoyed it! I also got a chocolate cake slice to-go. It's super rich with chocolate filling layers made with condensed milk. A bit too rich for me but I'm sure others will love it. They also have coffee drinks and they are setup to do the basics drinks (mocha latte, cappuccino, etc) without all the syrup flavors. I ordered a cortado. Although it is not on their menu, the barista gladly said she would try to do her best. I provided directions on the espresso to milk ratio for a cortado & she absolutely nailed it. The coffee was robust & without the traditional vanilla syrup available, a little brown sugar added made the drink great. I will definitely return. I'll try their lunch menu next time.

They also said sometimes they have live singers. I would come back here again, probably at night to get the full experience.

I was shocked at the food options and now curious enough to return for lunch. My coffee drink of choice is a mocha latte and they did a great job.
