Wonderfully good and fresh foods. Perfect balance of ingredients too. Perfect quantity of meat to other ingredients ratio. Fresh breads daily too, for you bread affectionados. Cakes and pastries are very tasty made and change daily too!

I always do enjoy this place for their scones and food quality… :)But don’t order the hipster toast if you’re hungry. It’s tasty, but you get a very very thin amount of avocado and only half the amount of food that comes on the sandwiches for the same price.

The best baked goods! Today I had the breakfast salad, a blueberry cream coffee and picked up a few yummy things to share with the family later at home.

Ordered a berry roll and a brownie, and also got a loaf of rosemary Meyer lemon sourdough loaf. Got to the register and the lights went out...there was also a line out the door, but they kept going and had a case full of baked goods. Cash worked at the time, register worked, but no wifi. The items we purchased were all delicious and we will go back again when we are in Auburn! Thank you and yum!!

This place has one of my favorite breakfast sandos. The pastries are all amazing. Very cool vibe and great coffee!

I bought a small cake for 50$. Not bothered by the price for the size of the cake for not being a mass produced cake. However, with that said, this was the driest cake I have ever eaten. I definitely wouldn't recommend them for a birthday cake or any cake really. It might have just been an off day for them. The cake completely fell apart everywhere and it was hard to serve bc it wouldn't stay together.

Ordered the potatoe and ham quiche for dine in. Lots of potatoes, little sliced ham and even less taste. The dish came with simply dressed greens and bread. Chai tea tasted like milk. Definitely had better luck with the almond croissant and apple pastry that I ordered to go - flaky and full of flavor! Prices reasonable for specialty bakery. For a weekday morning, they stayed busy and kept the line moving efficiently.

This place is unbelievable. We've been here three times since we moved to Auburn, and every experience has been fantastic. The prices are so reasonable for the quality, which is exceptionally high. The bread is delicious, and they don't skimp on what they put in their sandwiches. The desserts and loaves of bread are the best in town. The service has been great each time - incredibly efficient, even when it's busy. I've never had to wait long for food. So appreciative that this business is in Auburn.

Really enjoy the food and sandwiches they have here. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because I’m very big on customer service. I usually don’t like to stay and eat here because I don’t really feel welcomed ever actually lol. I go in and no one is ever smiling and no one ever talks to the customers. I myself am a server and I know how important it is to treat people like they really matter, because they do! I love feeling like that when I’m being waited on! Really this place could be top notch if they worked on their customer service. Smile a little more and get to know your customers. Auburn is a really small tight knit community and all the locals know each other here. I love having people come to our restaurant and feel like they’re family. It really sets the tone for future visits.

Excellent bakery! The mushroom quiche was delicious! Also, the pear & walnut pastry & cinnamon rolls. I'll definitely be back. ?
