We stopped here for breakfast in between appointments in the area, and it did not disappoint! I really enjoyed the quiche, and the eggwich breakfast sandwich was really good. The space is surprisingly large. The main area had loads of seating, and there was another attached room with even more tables. The cortado was good, but a little too acidic for my preference. Overall a great place to stop and grab a bite to eat. I could also see all the space and tables making it a good place to do some work and study too. Would visit again, for sure.

Horrible Racist Experience. It was my first time, and I came specifically to get a lox bagel with herbed cream cheese, onion and capers like I saw posted online which I now know to be some outdated ordering portal I guess they haven't changed. I realized the menu was a bit different in person but found the bagel with lox option. The place is extremely loud which I can deal with but the cashier was standoffish and rude when I ordered. This combination made it difficult to confirm what exactly I was getting in comparison to what I had seen online. The cashier made no effort to help, or even upsell additions to the bagel, or even speak to me, just looked at me like I was illiterate...... Overall I moved on. My cold brew came in a glass and as I went to drink it I noticed a bright green spot of matcha on the rim left over from a previous drink. Again....not a huge deal. I just requested another CB in a to go cup. Cool. I get my food at my table and it's a super sad chewy bagel with lox. Extremely mid and disappointing overall considering I paid like $22 for a bagel and CB. I'm starting to feel depressed af like why did I even leave my house fR. All I want at this point is some onion to salvage this awful experience so I flag a waiter down and explain that it's my first time visiting. I ask for some red onion as I didn't see the option to add it. He says it usually costs but he'll bring it. Awesome. I wait 10 minutes. The same waiter comes out and ushers me to the front to pay because they can't even offer me some free ONION to compensate for my actually HORRIBLE experience. It's embarrassing and disgraceful the way I was made to walk to the counter for a solid 99 cent ONION UPCHARGE. This is the moment I looked around and realized I was the only Black person in the entire bakery. I paid because I wanted the interaction to be over so badly. At this point I didn't want the gross food. I wanted to leave. But I was forced to wait another 10 minutes for the stupid onion when all I wanted at that point was my money back and to exit as quickly as possible. There was a ten person deep line forming so I decided to spare other patrons a scene, but I will be telling everyone in my community about how awful of a place this is, probs for the rest of my life.

I love getting the olive oil and eggs and a matcha latte, the flavors are always so unique but well rounded!

Friends and family was a solid spot 4.5 stars across the board On one hand, the ambiance I give a 3 star just because it was loud and crowded On the other hand, the pastries were a 10!!! I'd go back just to try all their pastries with a nice cup of coffee For food, I had the hippie sandwhich with roasted potatoes and my mom had the BELT with fries which was good This flavors were solid Nothing out of this world, but good I love the fact that the food was probably the freshest food I've had in a long time I also tried a handmade apple pie Flakey, buttery goodness that makes your mouth water! Their service was good too They all seemed nice and pleasant I'll check it out again Especially for those damn pastries I recommend you check this place out for sure!

Stopped here real quick for coffee. Was a little skeptical about the location. Ended up just spending way toooooo much money because it was so good. Lattes were smooth and yummy. Cookies were delicious and the jam was to die for. Will be back soon!

What an absolute gem! I can't decide between the ginger scone, almond cake or jalapeno and cheddar biscuit which one I enjoyed more. They were all so good. The croissant was the only item that didn't blow my socks off. Staff is super friendly. The lattes were good but I wish they would offer nonfat milk.

Definitely a hidden gem :) the sandwiches are so good and they make their bread. Atmosphere is a little weird to me since it can't decide if it wants to be a quiet wfh spot or dine in with friends vibe. Not bad, just in-between.

Great bread and pastries and deli. Lots of seating. Closes at 2pm and of course the pastry selection is low if you go late. Wines and bread flour also. The pie at thanksgiving was

Full disclosure, I worked here as an intern. So I could be biased. But I am not. I have worked in lots of kitchens that I wouldn't even consider reviewing! Here is what I love at this bakery, I love it so much that I went from employee discount to paying full price without missing a beat: Sourdough boule- ALWAYS have one in the freezer. baguette- best ever, I never make it home without eating a third in the car croissants- every time i eat one, I say out loud, shit, that's good. raspberry fairy- the best combo- not too sweet pistachio croissant-yum quiche- so so so excellent. focaccia- perfection- only on weekends Anything with red jam. cheat sheet is free! you're welcome!

Unique and delicious olive oil eggs. Husband likes grilled cheese. Yes, everyplace is expensive now. Nice pastries too.

Amazing pastries, espresso was delicious. Price point was good. We will definitely return. Service could be a little better. It wasn't bad. It was just average.

Decided to give this place a try for pastries. The guy working the register was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. And I needed help because there were tough decisions to make - everything looked great. We tried the ham & cheese croissant, morning bun, oatmeal date cookie, and a sesame loaf. Everything was fresh, tasty, and overall fantastic. The croissant based items all had that perfect balance of outside crunch and inside buttery-ness. Overall, I think the morning bun and cookie were my favorites. Already looking forward to my next visit.

The best mornings start out here with an earl grey and morning bun. The halva croissant and berry and cream puffs are also excellent.
