I love the sandwiches and coffee here. Everything on the menu always turns out to be good. The sourdough breads are also really nice.I really like all the servers. They are all so kind and have good music taste.

I had an excellent sandwich, and we bought a great loaf of bread and a ton of baked goods. All excellent. Not much atmosphere but clean and nice

I had the half tuna sandwich and half kale salad with an Arnold Palmer, all of which was tasty. Thankfully I arrived at a calm moment because a few minutes later the place was packed full of folks grabbing their breakfast and coffee (mostly to-go). Next time I go I'll grab a some this from their freezer case - ready made pot pies, pie crust, etc.

Fabulous product, generous sizes, the BEST almond croissant ever!!! The truth comes out where the marzipan and butta meet the dough. Good show all around.
July 30 · Stephen McGehee
Amazing atmosphere, smells fresh and warm when you walk in. The pecan pull apart is to die for - didn't get any pics of that as that was the first thing I finished
