Well-known local Westchester bakery with a great selection of sweet, savory and coffee bar items. There are a few tables inside. I went in to pick up lunch on a random Tuesday, and there was consistent traffic of customers. During the holiday season, they do a selection of awesome pies. Mainly paid street parking. Close to the Metro-North Crestwood train station.

This place is usually crowded and only has a few tables. If you want to eat here, you must bring someone to claim a table while you stand on line and order. I noticed that was what people did here. The food has not changed since my last review. The sandwiches are expensive for the small size. Most people order omelettes for those that stay. The line is long and it moves very slowly. The cookies are interesting and not in a good way. They are sold by the pound but you cannot pick how much you want. They are in single use plastic containers and you are forced into taking that amount. The reality of this place is that it speaks for challenges of dining out these days. In this area, the options are a restaurant, which is more expensive plus tipping a server or a slice of pizza at one of the nearby pizzeria. This bakery is literally the only option if you do not want the aforementioned places. My guess is this the reason this place becomes crowded for lunch. I managed to get a table because someone got up. I had the mushroom leek quiche, plain croissant, and a peppermint tea. The quiche was salty and the croissant was dense. I got what I paid for with today's prices. Of course, this place wants a tip too!

I think this place is overpriced for items that are not the best. I have tried different items and was repeatedly disappointed. Crumb cake was very dry, croissants were big but not flaky and buttery. Cupcakes had more icing than cake. Staff is not the friendliest.

During my recent visit to the bakery to purchase a cake, I encountered troubling discriminatory behavior from one of the staff members. The elderly lady who was preparing my cake exhibited racist tendencies toward me, a customer from a visible minority background.Despite having just paid for my purchase at another cashier only a minute before, the elderly lady handing me the cake displayed a profound lack of trust in me. Even after I presented my paid receipt, she meticulously scrutinized the date and time printed on it. This made me feel as though she suspected me of attempting to scam them for a cake, an experience that was both humiliating and frustrating.Overall, this experience left me deeply disappointed and embarrassed. The discriminatory attitude and lack of trust exhibited by the staff member tarnished what should have been a straightforward transaction. Unfortunately, I cannot see myself returning to this bakery in the future.

Cute bakery and cute desserts. Staff vibes are always off and never welcoming.
I've gone here several times and while their food is good, I question the service. I went the other day for a tuna sandwich on croissant with cheese. The cashier asked me if I wanted the cheese melted which I said yes. Then I waited, and waited and waited. People were coming in and getting their orders and I was still standing there. Finally I had to ask for my food and someone brought it out right away. Now if this was the first time I would overlook it but this is the second or third time this has happened where I'm standing there waiting for my food and had to ask for it. Not sure why this keeps happening but they would have gotten five stars if not for this. It's a shame because I really like their food.

I have been coming here for a few years; quality is always good, and naturally, I always come back. I usually order one thing I always get: a Santorini on a pita instead of the soft roll that it usually comes with. Today, Michelle notified me that there is an upcharge for the change, which is acceptable. I continued with my order as the price was not my concern. The food is good, and I am ready to pay an additional charge, which I am asking for my food to be prepared. While she put me on hold to check how much the upcharge she returned, she informed me that they could not switch from the soft roll to a pita and that this was the last time they would do it. I advised her i am ready to pay additionally, and she insisted that it would be the last time i wil be able to get the Santorini on a pita. It dawned on me you will lose a returning customer with a $15-18 sandwich, which is not much; I get it. While I understand restaurant policies and menu changes are exclusively up to them, it is a bakery where you make BREAD to sell, and I didn't ask for a radical change. It was just a pita. The incident left me very sour, and surprising.
