This is a new trendy baker in the North Center neighborhood on Lincoln Avenue. There is a lot to like about this place, but some things that need improvement or I wish would change. I've visited twice and on my two trips I got a hot latte (they brew Sparrow Coffee), a babka (my first visit) and their breakfast warp. (My second visit). The Pros: The quality of the food is excellent, at least their baked goods are. The babka I bought on my first visit was delicious, even after a walk and car ride home in the cold weather. I felt for the price, seven dollars, it was good value, given its size. The breakfast wrap that I ordered was good, but excellent. The ingredients were fresh and yummy, but a bit on the small size for the price. They have good coffee. Sparrow is very good coffee and it was nice to find it so close to home. The latte itself was good, not great. They have a good atmosphere. The place is laid back and I didn't get any air of pretentiousness. The Cons: First, it's expensive and I question the value of a seven dollar croissant. I have not tried the croissant yet, but I want to in the future to see if it's worth it. Second, once they run out of something, they don't make any more. The first time I went I got there around 11:00 am and they were already out of croissants. While I liked my babka a lot, that was not what I wanted to order. Third, they don't have ice coffee drinks. I wanted an iced latte, but all they had was a hot one. Not a deal breaker, but it left me surprised and disappointed. Lastly, service was good, not great. On first trip, the person who helped me seem anxious, stressed and curt. On my second trip the staff member who help was nice, but not exceptional. Overall, all service average out to be good. In sum, this is a very good bakery and I look forward to trying more of their pastries and savoy breakfast dishes. It is place you should visit. However, I wish they had iced coffee drinks, would make their pastries bigger (to justify the price) and make more of what they sell so I don't have to get there super early just to buy a croissant. read more
