| - Been here a few times for lunch, and stopped in for a pastry another few times. Service has always been quick enough to suit me.
While it is called a Bakery, and they specialize in a delightful assortment of pies, and cakes, and cookies, and more; they also have a good selection for lunch. I've had bot the New Orleans Poboy and the California Club. I cannot attest to the authenticity of the poboy, but I can attest to it's quality. It was a large sandwich, full of chicken and sausage. Not greasy at all, and well seasoned. The California Club got its name (i assume) from the liberal use of avocado. The Club was delicious and I would strongly recommend it to anyone. For sides I've tried the macaroni and cheese and the haluski. The mac and cheese was a bit disappointing. The sauce was on the runny side, and tasted a bit generic. On the other hand, the haluski was excellent.
Their deserts are absolutely wonderful. Their carrot cake is worth devouring, as are their lemon coconut bars. The only complaint about their peanut butter brownie is that it might be too rich to finish in one sitting (is that really a complaint?). I never leave there without having a snicker-doodle cookie also.
I cannot attest to their coffee, but their iced tea is quite good. It is fresh brewed, fairly frequently.
In nicer weather, they have a few tables and chairs out front. While there isn't much to look at but a parking lot and rt19, its always nice to have somewhere you can enjoy a cigarette while you wait for your food.
