so good...phone did NOT eat first

Ciao, Gloria

My Ratings:

🍴Food: 7/10

- must order: 🍌BANANA WALNUT CRUNCH BREAD🍞 (not pictured because we dug in and never looked back) is the BEST banana bread I’ve ever had since it’s so moist with a crunchy sugary walnut sprinkled on top, 🍪 OATMEAL CREAM PIE 🥧 is so nostalgic and the slightly salty cream-cheese balances the sweetness out so nicely

- PRO + MOZZ sandwich is very good since red peppers are smoky, banana peppers add a nice bright zesty kick, and prosciutto is not stringy

- BEC is good, but i prefer this combo sandwiched between doughier thicker bread

- CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI bread is good, but the BANANA WALNUT CRUNCH BREAD >

- CHOCOLATE CAKE is good, but not a standout amongst the other pastries we tried

- skip: nothing… everything’s good

🍸Drinks: 6/10

- DIRTY CHAI LATTE (not pictured) is good,

✨Ambience: 6/10

- has a decent amount of seating

- has an outside patio out front

🤵Service: 6/10

- above average & quick

- order at counter & food will be delivered to your table
