Critic's Review

I'm not usually out early on a Sunday morning, but in the past this place had always been packed. This morning the place was dead; no-one sitting outside on a beautiful morning; nobody inside. Maybe it's just the time of year.

There are 3 distinct areas here, the Cafe on the right, what looks like a normal bakery in the center, and a specialty foods area on the left. At the bakery, they have all sorts of baked goods, croissants of course, pastries and cookies. they also have a display with quiches, pizzas and specialty sandwiches.

Croissan time pastries

You place your order and if its something that needs to be prepared you pick it up in the cafe. Personally I never understood why people were willing to wait so long for rather expensive baked goods. I certainly wouldn't wait for a latte and a croissant. They get $8.75 to $9.75 for their specialty sandwiches as well.

They also have a specialty foods area where you can get cheeses, specialty meats and game meat.

I just wanted a cheese danish; I usually get it from the bakery in Publix, but I figured that I'd branch out today, since I'd forgotten to buy one on Friday. The price here is about the same, $1.80. I think it's $1.85 at publix.

It was ok, but frankly, the ones from Publix

are better. This wasn't very sweet, and the pastry was too heavy; too dense.

Anyone that would prefer eating a danish on a Sunday morning that was purchased on the prior Friday is not someone I would take advice from.
