    Have been coming to this shop for years. Quality and service (i.e. behavior and, how long you wait when ordering in store) have gone way down but prices up. I write this today as I found a hair in my sandwich. The only positive for me right now is the one guy who works there that is very kind. It seems like he’s always running around but maintains a friendly demeanor.

    It was good, but not sure I need to go again when in town. Nice to try something different. I got a pistachio cake, brownie, peanut butter chocolate bar, and an apple turnover. I'm sure those aren't the official names.

    [GREEN MOLD ON CAKE] Updated Review: I purchased the cake on 10/7 around 6 PM, close to the store’s closing time. I placed it in the refrigerator and ate a slice around 8:30 PM, where I discovered green mold on middle of the cake (see time and date of pictures taken-along with cake transaction). The next morning (10/8), after experiencing food poisoning. I immediately called the store to request that the rest of the cakes from that batch be removed from the counter, but I was told no manager was available the entire day. Even if the store doesn’t want to take accountability for the mold, it clearly shows a lack of proper food storage or handling, since mold does not develop within just two hours of purchasing a cake. (Original review): I was really disappointed with my order — I found green mold on my slice of cake, and unfortunately, I ended up getting food poisoning after eating it. This was very concerning and made me question the food safety and storage practices. I hope the business takes this seriously and ensures better quality control so no one else has to go through the same experience.

    I was in town for the day so we stopped in for pastries and coffee. The choices for pastry were plentiful. Staff was very friendly. Coffee and pastry were really good. Only downside was the leak in the ceiling.

    Ordered a custom birthday cake (sugar free/diabetic) in advance. Joseline responded in email that it would be ready for the event. I followed up twice in email to confirm and they confirmed it would be ready. Day of the event, they didn’t have the cake and staff spent some time on the phone trying to figure out what happened, and I was further late for my event. I emailed saying my cake order was forgotten by the bakery, no response. Emailed again, they said I can come in for a free pastry instead of a free cake, after I communicated before that I can’t have sugar which I reminded again. I’m so glad I didn’t order a bigger event’s custom cake from this bakery, like a wedding cake. Definitely would not risk ordering a wedding cake from here. Disappointed how disorganized this process and outcome was, and how there was no understanding that a promise was broken and that they should make up for it without me asking for them to.
