| - First time in review. It's a cute place. It is. Annnnd the pastries are all so beautiful and appealing. So if you ask me will I ever return? YES! I would love to give their pastries my attention, and perhaps try something else...BUT never again their sandwich. Why?
The buns they use is way too thick.
The hubs and I met up with a group of other foodies for brunch. I've had this place bookmarked forever, but coming from the north we've never been able to make it just because of time constraints and opportunity. Opportunity and time wasn't a problem this day...and so we arrived.
Back to food. You stand in line, order, get a number, and have a seat at whatever table suits your interest given its availability. I felt like I was standing in line forever with 3 people ahead, but then again...hunger was real so idk which part of me was doing the thinking. We finally order and I tell the cashier what I wanted, and she then asks me to show her which one off the menu. ::crickets::. So I opened the menu and pointed it off to her. A Nord, an Est, and may you throw in a jam danish. Off to our seats we went.
Then we waited. And waited. Those that were there sooner than us got their meals, finished it, and even had to go. Kinda awkwardly waiting. But I was patiently okay! I was out sans the kids, socializing...im good! But we waited. It got to the point where one person in the group walked up to check on our dishes to find they were just sitting waiting to get picked up and served.
The sandwiches proved to have been waiting because the buns used were fricking hard. People, I couldn't even slice through it with my butter knife without my bun shifting and cracking. So I knew cutting through it wasn't going to work. Not only was it hard, I couldn't even get my mouth to grip on that thing. Quite frankly, there seemed to have been more bun than "nord". Refer to pictures to get a better understanding of what we were served.
On top of that, I feel like I got served a plate full of spring mix. I ate my sandwich open faced, but didn't eat the bottom half. Someone joked about my food being rabbit food because it was just a plate of greens. My husband's sandwich looked almost worst than mine. His looked overly toasted, burnt...whichever. Again, refer to pictures.
But I made it through whatever I could and my husband out of upbringing...finished his despite the woes. The jam danish was the best part of our meal, it was beautiful to look at...but it ended up tasting basic. It was flaky in a stale way. Sigh, if that makes sense. I just felt like everyone I know who has been here ten million times has such a great rave for it...but first impression--disappointing.
I certainly wouldn't mind trying other things on their menu. What i do know for sure is I'll never order a sandwich from there again...id rather opt for something else. I won't count them out...just not a place I'd drive across the city for. Gatherings and what not...sure why not.
Definitely kid and stroller friendly if bringing the kids. I'd say leave the kids though. Might catch a better vibe over a pastry and latte without 'em.
Enjoy!
