First time here. Came with a friend. It's a cute place. The exterior is painted white brick with a floral mural on the south side. There is a rooftop patio that gets you off street level, and on a nice day you can enjoy the sun and fresh air (unless they are cooking something in the oven, and you get the amazing smells that are coming out of the vents). Inside there are several small tables or a counter with seats that face out the front window. The inside design is bright and friendly. Was excited to see all the amazing looking pastries, cookies, and rolls in the case. So with all this goodness in mind, I was a little taken aback by the greeting I got from the male cashier/barista. He appeared grumpy and curt. One of the things I asked for (and I always do) is extra foam with my London Fog Tea Latte. He just flat out said it couldn't be done (because they use a concentrate and not tea bags), but I know that's not the case and have had that before. Now, if you are reading this, you might be thinking, “get over it.” However, it was my first time here, and the exchange between us was very strained. After ordering my London Fog, with an amazing looking Apricot Almond Scone, we grabbed a small table. After a little wait, they brought my beverage, and it was very good, and it had extra foam! Nice job! However, I had asked to have my scone warmed up, and it never came. I could actually see it sitting on the kitchen counter, and I asked someone if they could bring it out, which they apologized for. The scone was as amazing as it looked — warm, nice texture, with almonds and icing on top. There is a lot to like about this place. Great atmosphere, with excellent products. However, the service that I got on this particular (first) visit was not great. I would stop again to see if it was any better the next time. P.S. Everyone can have a bad day. However, when I checked out some other reviews, I noticed a few others that mentioned the service, and I wonder if this is something that needs to be attended to?

I ordered the Toasted Turkey Feta Sandwich which is a hit. The house made sourdough has a great crust on the outside and soft in the middle. This was my first time trying a sandwich with apples on it and I can honestly say I’m not disappointed. The service was great. Super friendly staff.

Super cute shop, excellent customer service, and the bread is gorgeous and soft with a great crust. My sister makes sourdough with inclusions, so I was expecting to cut open the loaf and see bountiful pieces of fruit and cheese like hers, but there weren’t any. This is the apple gouda sourdough, but the distinct flavor is thyme. There was no cheese or apple flavor, but the bread is still great! Just herby!
