I cannot imagine how this place can be so highly rated, our experience was simply terrible. We waited for 45 minutes for our food, just to be served some terrifyingly overpriced, lackluster food. We'd have been better off at a fast food joint: the portbello burgers drew their taste from over-cooked onions that had been deglazed with far too much... more

The best baked goods in town. It is a little crowded, but that is because it is so good. The service is, buy at the counter and sit down. There is indoor and out door seating. Definately worth the trip. The blueberry muffins are incredible. more

Loved it. My friend and I split three different pastries for breakfast, and they were all delicious. My favorite was the fresh peach kolache which was huge, and the dough was moist and you could taste the yeast. It was amazing. Love the hidden location of this bakery at the back of a downtown courtyard, too. more

The food was good. The table was slanted and crowded. The air-conditioning not working properly and the service was just ok. The menu choices are slim for lunch but I suppose it's meant for the 'ladies at lunch' crowd. Soup, salad and sandwiches. more

Accidently found this hidden away bakery a few years ago, and now HAVE to stop there, even occasionally making a trip here JUST to bring home some of their delicacies! (It's worth the 200 mile drive) Flaky Cinnamon rolls, filled with pecans are just the thing to jump start the day. I'm picky about scones, and find these to be... more

Falling in love with her cookbook, I finally revisited this place a couple of months ago for the first time in a couple of years. Every time I walk in, I find the tiny bakery a little chaotic. This time, a kid who was helping out walked around with a plate of hot food for five minutes trying to find... more

This quaint little cafe is a hidden treasure in Fredericksburg. Nestled just behind the trees and buildings of bustling Main St gives the Cafe a relaxed setting. The sandwhiches are superb with their homeade foccacia bread and the desserts are the whole reason to come. The huge selection of mouth watering treats will satisfy any customer. more

I had seen the reviews for this little bakery, and had my doubts. But guess the other reviewers that had negative experiences were just there on a bad day. I was there with another lady friend this past Saturday at about 4:00, and had no problems. In contrast to some of the other reviews of this place, we were waited... more

Stopped by on a whim during stay and was pleasantly surprised. Great pastries and french toast. We got there just as breakfast service was ending (10:30). Several people came in after 10:30 and were accomodated w/ breakfast items. Ordering area can get congested at times, but when its a popular place that tends to happen. Too bad I was full... more
