This place has great pastries & seriously the best biscuits & gravy on the planet. I recently bought a quiche to take to a meeting & EVERYONE raved. Fast & friendly service too. You cant go wrong here
My breakfast burrito was quite good. The scone was a tad dry, but the flavor was spot-on.
Even better than the food is the atmosphere. A very unassuming place tucked into a small shopping center with a few small tables, reminiscent of something you might find in Europe or a busy US city street. Everyone I came into contact with was very friendly, including the other patrons! If they're indicative of the regular clientele, plan on spending an hour, sipping some coffee and enjoying the conversation.
I'll definitely be back!
This is one of the best hidden gems of rosewood heights. If youve never been, make sure to try it out for breakfast or lunch.
This is a small "Mom and Pop" operation so what is available will vary. The do NOT have everything all the time, but EVERYTHING they make would compete with pretentious bakeries in LA, NY or Saint Louis. I've been coming here regularly for the last year and it is obvious he loves making great food and just makes extra for whoever comes in. This place is an absolute gem!
