Came in because I saw Owner on TV. Very disappointed they were out of many things and the person who waited on me was not friendly. 5-6 people in the back baking and when asked what kind of soups do they make (as it is on the menu). The unfriendly person at the front said rudely " we are not making soups!" Which was not even the question. Perhaps she needs a day off. First impressions mean everything to me. Next time I need anything from a bakery. I will look somewhere else.

Got a cake here over the summer, when I got there they were still frosting it. They gave me the cake it was fine on my drive, I put it in the fridge and it then by the time I took it out to serve the layers had gradually slid apart. I emailed to let them know for their information but never received a response. Things happen with cakes, would have been nice to get a response - poor customer service go elsewhere

Very few people/bakers know how to turn out a great scone. They are either too doughy, dense or heavy and could be used as a doorstop. These
guys make an authentic, super tasty and perfectly textured scone. I love
the savory scones in particular. They are in the neighborhood so I have to be careful or I will be as wide as their display case.

I've been popping in here about 1x per week over the last month for treats: peanut butter cookies, blueberry muffins, turnovers, sticky buns. All have been fabulous. So glad to continue to have such a great bakery in our neighborhood.
