Maybe this place is a bit expensive, but it's definitely along the lines of good Whole Foods bread (ahem... if there were actually a Whole Foods in CU, we'd have a better basis of comparison than Schnucks and Meijer) and other "fancy bakery" bread I've purchased in the past.
I've had a few of the pastries (mmm chocolate croissant on the way home from the gym, don't mind if I do...) but the bread is what we come here for! The sourdough is pretty good (trust me, that's a compliment; I'm a sourdough snob) and the ciabatta is just right.
Perhaps I have yet to encounter the rude employees working here-- so far they have been pleasant enough. I just wish they were open on Sundays!!!
