This place was not in the least bit like what I thought it would be from tons of friends descriptions. I was imagining a quaint Victorian Tea shop instead of a warehousey looking, small, very bare coffee shop with a small display case of donuts. With that said the ladies behind the counter were top notch thus the four stars. I was on the fence to rate it three or four. Four for local and great service.
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and a cinnamon crunch doughnut hole. The pastry was very tasty but not the best in town and for some reason I disliked the sandwich. I do not know why this is so it might have just been me. I do not hold it against them. I am very picky about my chicken salad and for some reason I did not like the way it tasted. It seemed to have a bad after taste that stayed with me and tasted more like tuna, which I do not like. Like I said I do not hold it against the place. I have preconceived notions and am spoiled on excellent Chicken Salad and it ruins it for other places. I always search but never find an equivalent. Ha! Also, I did not see any other goodies besides doughnuts. I would have liked to buy some cookies or scones to take to my Bunco party. Maybe they were sold out or Sundays are limited?
Since I do not live in the neighborhood it would not be worth it for me to go back when I live closer to the Glendale tea shops. However, I would definitely go back if I was in the area to try other pastry and to support local business. The ladies were so funny and kind that I most certainly would go again just to visit them. If you live near by I would say check it out. I have friends in the neighborhood who swear by their pastries and just plain regular coffee.
