“Just went to an amazing baby shower here over the weekend! Food and owners were outstanding and this coffee shop is so chic! Most little places go for a thrift store decor which feels tired real quick. This place felt so high end. I feel like I could meet a business colleague here as well as friends. Best vibe! Fantastic food! Put this on your list asap!!“

From pretzel dogs to cherry pie stuffed pretzels there are options for whatever mood you may be in. The owner was very friendly and offered to answer any questions we may of had. Great homemade pretzels are hard to come by so Croftons is certainly worth the trip!“

She knows my order because I've come so often already, and was helpful letting me know what ingredients are vegan. My husband loves the hot Americano, and all of the blended lattes he's tried. He also loves the donuts and said their all 10/10. This is my favorite little lunch break spot, and if Claire is there I know its going to be great!“

Cinnamon Bun

“Proud to say I’m a Jelly Cabinet regular! Every time you go you are greeted cheerfully by Simone and Jenn. Get there early if you want more of a selection because things sell out fast! I understand that may be frustrating to some,(some may even leave negative reviews even though it has nothing to do with the food itself ?)but the way I see it - it is a testament to Chef Phillips care in the product he brings out. Chef Phillip also isn’t afraid to experiment with exciting flavor combinations and is always thinking of new goodies to bring to the bakery! This isn’t a mass made factory y’all, this is TRULY a labor of love and once you taste it you will see for yourself. The cinnamon rolls are the fan favorites so they sell out the quickest! But if you’re able-go early, and honestly get one of everything. Be warned! These are truly SWEETS, so if you don’t have a sweet tooth…the cabinet is not the place for you! So excited to see what else Chef comes up with, also be on the lookout for his cinnamon roll nights for those who can’t get there during the weekends/mornings. “

My coffee was made to order and served with a heart in the middle. Takes some skill to do that! Good atmosphere, nice assortment of pastries and decent size menu of coffee. Will stop in again if I'm ever in the neighborhood.“

“I talked to Kim on a Thursday to see if she could bake a cake for our dear friend by Saturday. We wanted a lemon cake because he loves all things lemon & at that point I wasn’t too picky since we were days away. Not only did she say yes, but she baked a delicious cake & added some special touches. She asked a couple of questions about our friend & said she’d make something nice. The results were amazing. Our friend loved his lemon cake with a golf theme & water in the background. Two things he really enjoys. Thank you Kim, for going above & beyond on such short notice. We greatly appreciated it!“

“I come here often because it's close, but they're always pretty fast about their service, no matter if you go inside or the drive thru. It has a stronger coffee taste than other coffee shops and I like that. Food portions are a little on the small size and aren't always the highest quality. Normally get a something simple and build off it so I can make it the way I like it. Would recommend and am going back.“

The staff was very kind about replacing the bagel, but it is embarrassing to have to go back to get a new one, and it isn't a good use of employee time.Please consider if the bagels are going stale or if it is something to do with their preparation.“

“I was recommended the Point Break Sandwich that I had on a Crossant. It was very good. The service was fast and the staff was very friendly. I loved the number of choices that were available on the menu. I was very comfortable sitting outside eating at their tables. The only reason I am giving this 4 Stars instead of 5 is because my bill was a bit over 14.00 and I had a Sandwich the size of a Crossant that was not overly stuffed or anything and a Snapple. So I feel that was a tad bit high. But overall, I was pleased.“
