This was my first time here, so I tried both the breakfast special--an egg and bacon sandwich on a fluffy biscuit-- and bakery treats, which included the cherry pop tart and carmel toffee cookie, along with coffee.
CONS:
* tight, small parking lot--I was lucky to find a spot
* high prices--I paid $24 for my sandwich, cookie, pop tart, and plain, brewed coffee (but maybe that's because the items were made in-house and higher quality than factory made?)
* very slow to serve my food and then without all I ordered; however, this was remedied quickly and upon asking the status of my order, the employee kindly checked on it for me and assured me the delay was just because of a large order ahead of mine
* good food-- this would be a pro if the prices hadn't been so high; I expected great. However, portions were hearty, and the sandwich was hot, fresh, and "homemade", so I'm definitely going to return to try more in the future.
* When I return, it will likely be for takeout. Although I enjoy many kinds of music, this music was not enjoyable at all when I'm trying to relax over lunch. It was so loud, dissonant, and unpleasant that I probably won't want to sit there again. Why restaurants think this is what people want outside of bars is beyond me. Maybe they don't want people to relax?
PROS:
*free coffee refills-- not the best I've had but a BIG perk
* friendly service--I engaged with several employees, and all were friendly.
* lots of great variety, making me want to try other things another time
* bright and airy dining room-- not exactly comfy but with a cheery atmosphere
* an open area behind the counter, where you can watch bakers at work
*child-friendly--drawing paper and crayons on a table for the taking
*shaded patio for nice weather--small but a nice touch
