| - Nothing but good being shoveled into my mouth from Caldense bakery.
As you walk into the shop, your eyes are directed to the sparkling show case of desserts. To your left is a rotating display of whole cakes. Further to your left is a hot counter for dine-in breakfast and lunches, another display case of fresh meats and cheeses, and shelves on shelves of Portuguese goods and (I assume) daily baked breads & buns. Run on sentence much?
Today I stopped in for a dose of caffeine and picked up a chicken salad to-go. I love their espresso and I especially love their prices. Today's salad was to accompany my soup I packed for lunch. The small salad was actually quite large, leaving no room for my remaining lunch. I am not complaining. Note: there was no shortage of feta cheese on this bad boy.
In the past I've picked up a DIY sandwich and salad. I drool over their sour dough buns with prosciutto and provolone. They've got a sandwich area where you can add lettuce, tomato, cucumber, peppers, sauces, etc., etc. I'm not sure how well advertised this is but if you ask politely, I'm sure it can be done for you too. Over the display cases are TV's that present their menu options. You can take it to-go or opt for table service.
With Halloween quickly approaching, their interior is decked to the nines in ghoulish decor. With that being said, I can't wait to see how festive they get for Christmas.
As a final point, the service is what keeps me coming back. I find every interaction to be a pleasant one. This is huge in my books!
