More disparate comments on this place. As you can see, Isaac was in love.


He even went so far as to say they may be better than Magnolia. And he loves Magnolia. tarak and I had a different reaction.


These things were frickin' messy. They were such a bitch to eat. I'm talkin' 'bout:

on The Scene

The bakery feels 10 times longer than it is wide. The glass case is filled with cakey goodies (brownies, cakes and cupcakes). The long counter is stacked with savory items such as biscuits and sandwiches. The wall behind the counter is a row of built in cabinets filled with a large variety of freshly baked breads. There is a very homey feel to the place. Because of the narrowness of the bakery, it always seems more crowded than it actually is. There are a few tables in the rear of the bakery. The staff was nice, but they meant business.

And just two more pics to wrap things up.
