| - I like to support unique, local establishments, so I thought I would check this place out, since it had several five star reviews here on yelp. I would expect a five star place to have extraordinarily good products and ambiance. This was not that. The experience was not unpleasant, but it was really nothing special. I'll start with the bad news, and work my way to the good.
The bakery selection is rather limited; a few muffins, small bagels, and brownies. I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino. I didn't really taste any hazelnut, and the cappuccino itself was kind of weak and watery. But it was served in a ceramic mug, which is a big plus over the chain stores.
The store is pleasant enough. The window nooks close to the street are pretty cool. The barista was nice. While I was there, several of her "regulars" came in, and she engaged them in conversation that suggested she knew them well.
I drove 25 minutes to get here, based on the five star reviews. Not a bad place to go if you happen to be in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return to this place.
