Grateful Bread Bakery - Cloverdale

EDIT: CAME IN ON 9/5/24. NOW WHILE THEY DIDN 'T HAVE WHAT I WANTED I FEEL THAT THE RESPONSE COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE NICER. WHAT WE HAVE IS OUT I 'M HERE FROM COLORADO AND WAS REALLY WANTING BROWNIES. THE BROWNIES I USED TO GET. I DID SEE SOME THINGS COOLING IN THE BACK. I GLADLY WOULD HAVE LOVED TO ASK IF ANY WERE BROWNIES. I used to go here al the time when I lived in WA state. I had a great surprise when a client of mine knew I was coming into town and she surprised me with Cream cheese brownies. Best brownies around. I have never had a bad meal or treat here. Love it!

Great atmosphere and service with really good food. There were a number of items on the menu I was interested in trying, but I ended up on the Gingerbread pancakes which did not disappoint. Everyone at the table was happy. Will definitely return.

Very good corn chowder and grilled cheese! Service was great! Scones are so yummy and fresh bought a bunch!

Unfortunately, the service ended up tainting what could have been a very good breakfast. Our food was really pretty good, the portions were a bit small though. The French toast was a big hit, but he service was sadly pretty poor. The staff was friendly but it didn't make up for long delay before anyone acknowledged we were seated. They were moderately busy so we were willing to overlook the delay until our orders weren't right. They corrected that with no complaint, so no big deal I guess, then came the bill. Despite telling our server at the beginning there would be separate checks that didn't happen. Then to compound the problem we stood around for over 30 minutes while they tried to sort the bills out. In the end the bills were still wrong, but we just wanted out of there and paid whatever dollar amount they put in front of us. Again, the staff were nice, the food was good, but it was as if staff were all brand new to serving, so make sure you have plenty of time.

Ordering from the counter is very unorganized. Unsanitary with open pastries on the countertop with so many people waiting in line.
