From the super nice and friendly staff to the comfortable and welcoming atmosphere and quite possibly the best avocado toast I’ve ever had in my life, I can’t wait to come back and try some other things…
The real standout was the gooey butter cookie. So good I’m glad I don’t live closer, or I’d probably have a heart attack within a couple of weeks. Delicious. Damn good.
The sweet gentleman who took our order was wonderful – willing to answer questions and assisted us at the end as we decided to purchase four homemade foccacia rolls and additional goodies. I didn’t get his name but we sincerely enjoyed interacting with him (blue/light eyes, tattoo on the back of his neck, slim build).
For brunch, we ordered the egg and cheese croissant, ham and cheese with tomato and spinach on foccacia, iced cafe au lait and hot chocolate for $28 (tip included), and four foccacia rolls, blueberry muffin, gooey butter cookie, snickerdoodle cookie and s’mores cookie were all for $25. The foccacia roll alone is UNBELIEVABLE. Seriously, one of the best I’ve ever had and would be a killer grilled cheese served with tomato soup. High five to whomever makes the breads at The Bakist! The egg and cheese croissant sandwich was larger than I expected and hot, absolutely delicious.
Parking was easy to find, although I’m sure it’s more difficult on warmer days. The coffee/art shop was very nice and relaxing. Restrooms were clean and although the space felt very low key, the decor was inviting and comfortable.
I sincerely look forward to returning to The Bakist again. Thank you to the kind team for a fun, delicious experience on our spontaneous day!
That said, the biggest downside has nothing to do with the café itself and everything to do with some of the patrons. Too often, parents bring completely unruly children who scream, run around, and treat the place like a daycare. I don’t want to hear nonstop yelling or watch kids picking their noses and sneezing all over the furniture. On top of that, I’ve even seen full-grown adults putting their feet up on the furniture — which is just gross and classless.
The café itself is lovely, but the lack of basic manners from some families and adults really takes away from the experience. My advice: come during the week when school is in session. It’s a much better vibe then.
We will keep coming to support local business but…
