Unfortunately, this wasn’t a good experience for us. The restaurant feels very outdated, and the food was disappointing enough that we only ate about half of our meal before leaving. There was an unpleasant smell inside like a mix of mold and an old house which made it hard to enjoy the experience. The location also isn’t great, which added to the overall discomfort. The one positive is that the service was good and the staff was polite. However, based on the food and overall atmosphere, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I want to thank the Blue Ribbon bakery staff members and management team for all that they did to make me a happy customer. Long story short there was miscommunication when ordering a themed cake. They did a design that I was not very pleased with but the manager and staff member managed to redecorate my cake under a time crunch and gave me a discount which shows how much they value their customer happiness. Thank you again, the cake turned out perfect. Great staff, great service, great value and quality. Highly recommend Blue Ribbon Bakery.

We stopped in here for a late lunch and it was busy even at that time. I think people were there for their lunch specials. Portions were large and I ended up taking half of mine to go for later. I ordered the Crispy Chicken on Chiabata bread special. It came with fries and a small cup of coleslaw. Food was okay. Service was quick but we were forgotten a few times. We had to flag our waitress a few times.
