I have also been here for breakfast or coffee a few times and it’s always been a great experience!
Came in for dinner around opening, not very busy, and was seated at a table that was wobbly and asked for a seat change. No problem, though I did notice minor specks on dishes/presentation, but no worries, things happen. I got the pot roast pie which my server said was the most popular dish. Server gave water refills, helped with any questions and I see them accommodating other guests, kids, etc, as well which was very nice and made the atmosphere friendly(though they do have very little kid friendly options for dinner).
But unfortunately, the food that came was lukewarm to say the least, pretty much cold to be honest. The idea was to pour the gravy sauce onto it which was quite salty for me, and the only thing that warmed up the food a little. Otherwise the warmest item I received on my plate was the vegetable placed on top which was disappointing to me. Their main entrees for dinner start at $20 and what I tried just didn’t hit the spot. Not a lot of interesting flavors, would’ve ate home at this point but the meal at the very least is filling/well portioned enough. I wish I came before 3pm to try other items, as they have a lot more selection before then. Which may be more appetizing.
I bought pastries to take home to try and share, and tried the black berry pavlova. I feel that the desert flavors are very heavy, and a bit unbalanced, but if you have a particular flavor you enjoy, it may be for you!
The black berry pavlova was a bit too sweet for me, as the mix between pavlova and perhaps condensed milk sort of thing in the middle made it completely inedible as I worked my way through it. But the fruit puree or jam was great on it. I read a few reviews that their desserts weren’t too sweet which is why I wanted to try.
The tiramisu tart is very bitter and has a strong coffee taste. I liked how smooth and creamy it was but I was expecting more of a sweet bitter balance.
Pistachio eclair filling was great with a decent amount of pistachios on top but the shell itself was very dry.
The lemon raspberry tart was very bitter, I almost spit it out. Only the top part had some raspberry and inside was filled with lemon but very little sugar that would make a child cry. The cream on top was dry and had a very odd texture to it.
The only thing I enjoyed much was the mousse cakes. Really liked the blueberry one. Not horribly sweet inside has a layer of cake. Though the raspberry chocolate one wasn’t as good for me as the chocolate tasted a bit off. I was expecting maybe milk chocolate or like dark chocolate but it just tasted..off. The mousse part of it was still good and it had some sort of jelly in the center which really didn’t pair well texture wise. All the fruits in dessert while dining and pastries felt both soggy and limp, while being dry. Honestly a bit disappointed because it all looked so nice.
Overall staff was pretty nice, good atmosphere, pretty desserts and plated dishes but actually trying them wasn’t that great for how much I’ve spent. Would taste better just eating at home. Maybe day time menu is better!
Edit to add the chef reached out to me personally to rectify the situation. We were fully refunded for our meal. Appreciate the excellent customer service and we will definitely be back to try the food again!
Super easy place to stop in, hang out, and enjoy something really good. If you are in the area and like good coffee and pastries, this place is a must.
We went for breadfast.I ordered the BEC egg sandwich. My wife got an almond croissant. We both got black coffee.
The sandwich was a mess, the croissant, dry. The coffee was boring. The caramelized potatoes aren’t bad but nothing special.
I really hate to say this but, you can find genuine diner food at the I80 truck stop.
Ordered 4 coffees and 2 pastries.
For the $40 I left there the least I expected was to get what I ordered.
Asked for cappuccino- received dome bitter hot liquid. When asked got the answer I was served a ‘Caramel-Cinnamon cappuccino’. I requested to replace it with a simple plain cappuccino (with no additional fancy flavoring or any other smart ideas.)
What came out is a cold drink.
Total waste of money and time.
