Sharon EvansDecember 26, 2013I don't think there is anything here that I wouldn't highly recommend! Bought a fresh baked loaf of their whole wheat sourdough bread to take home! Organic ingredients make all the difference! DelishUpvote5Downvote
Frank AJanuary 6, 2016Their soups, teas, & honey are yummy! Open 24 hrs., except from 3 pm Fridays till noon Sundays, and on certain religious holidays. Limited parking during peak dinner hours, so plan ahead. Free WiFi.Upvote1Downvote
