    I come here because my wife loves the pesto bread.  I haven't ever bought anything else from the bakery, but everything looks delicious. They have a good variety of choices from sweet to savory. It's nice that you can see all the different choices and watch them make some of the foods.

    Service here is usually pretty good. There are times when it is a bit slow. Since they make the only pesto bread my wife can eat, I have to wait whether it is busy or not. In a way it is nice that the service is a bit slow because it takes away that rushed fast food feel and makes it feel more calming. So if you're in a rush, it may not be the best waiting experience.

    The prices are a bit high for me, so maybe one day when I'm feeling lavish I may try something else. For now, I'm sticking with the leftover pieces of pesto bread from my wife. I would love to try one of everything someday...

    An underrated bakery. Bread here is really good. Sandwiches are great! They currently have limited edition Japanese inspired items like matcha tiramisu. I really love their cranberry walnut bread, but I haven't been seeing it lately. I did try their fig and pecan bread which tasted so great after toasting with butter. All in all, i love their breads, love to come here for sliced bread, and the revolving menu items.

    Dirty Store
    Dirty Food
    Napkin mix in Egg Salad Sandwich
    So horrible
    Let the store staff look it, she just say "oh sorry" and walk away! No any explanation!

    Based goods, sandwiches, cakes are all subpar...very cheaply made with little care. Prices are cheaper than artisanal bakeries but not by much. Pass on this bakery and instead get Whole Foods goods or Backhaus, etc.

    Got a bunch of pastries and Ordered a cake from them. Picked up in the morning and was as ordered. The cake was quite tasty. The pastries are average. If you are eating in the store definitely ask them to warm it up, it tastes much better.
    This place is quite busy especially at lunch time. It's kinda hectic and maybe not the cleanest. It's not a place you can sit and relax for hours.
