| - So this place isn't cheap but only because the desserts are delicious!
I came in looking for a little something sweet to gift to an old friend over lunch and while I was looking through the deli cases (2) I tried a sample of the raspberry almond tart. MMMMmmmM SO good. So I got a couple of those at $2.75 each (they offer raspberry and blueberry I think) and some macaroons. They make them in-house. There was a small selection of other bakery items: baguettes, rosemary bread knots, croissants, creme brulee, small cakes ( i think most ppl order custom), tarts, and such.
side note: just because a restaurant or bakery is showing desserts in a case does NOT mean that they made them, plenty of places sell prepackaged/frozen items so I make it a point to always ask. because why would I pay $1.35 for a teeny macaroon if they just bought them bulk from some giant food conglomerate.
the 2 ladies (1 was training the other) are obviously bakers first and business/customer service people second. happy and sweet, but resulting in awkward convo/situation. i requested the trainee to put everything in their small box for my order and the trainer kept trying to separate items into 2 boxes, then the trainee tucked in the flaps of the box and the trainer told her not to bc it would squish the macaroons, I said "its ok I want it tucked", and the trainer keep wanting her way. i just wanted to get out of there on time and said whatever the trainer wanted was fine. (3 min is a long time when you're watching other people debate things about you) i then asked if they took AmEx and she replied no they don't while nodding lol. o well, they can only improve on teamwork with time, i walked out happy :)
- they're also pushing their new organic coffees. but def get an almond tart with it :)
