I’m also a big fan of the uplifting and spiritual decor. Every time I visit, I leave feeling energized, inspired, and ready to take on the day.

There’s an odd religious atmosphere, and the service is quite slow, possibly due to being understaffed. I’ve tried giving this place multiple chances because of its convenient location, but I’ve consistently been let down. Despite having a 4.5-star rating on Yelp, which I find hard to believe based on the quality of the food and overall experience, it just doesn’t add up. The food is only average, and given the prices, I expected more. I definitely wouldn’t recommend their muffins; the one I had was rock hard and nearly inedible. The breakfast sandwiches are decent, but again, not worth the price. The restaurant is filled with religious quotes and had some questionable signs in the windows during the early days of the COVID pandemic. I think I’m done giving this place chances.

Just recently I tried their jam filled donuts and chocolate cake donuts and I am OBSESSED. It is not often that a bakery makes such great donuts, but the textures on both these donuts were perfect and was exactly what I was craving for. I have to admit I did stay away from this bakery when I found out about the masks and how safety precautions were not in place during the COVID 19 mandates. But that didn't stop me from coming here once everything became more relaxed. I cannot wait to come back for the donuts and other baked goods! I've heard great things about their sandwiches, so I will be looking forward to trying that as well.

The sandwiches and latte were absolutely delicious. It's a family-owned establishment with a warm and friendly atmosphere! read more The sandwiches and latte were absolutely delicious. It's a family-owned establishment with a warm and friendly atmosphere!

I didn’t eat all the sweets I saw, but man, they offer a lot of tasty looking bars, muffins, scones and croissants. It was hard to pick what sandwich to eat. As a Minnesotan, their chicken and wild rice soup was on point.I read a few reviews saying the cafe is “political.” If an American flag or a sign saying “Have a blessed day” is political or offends you, might I suggest you’re looking for reasons to be mad. If you want good food made by good people, you’ll find both here. Thanks Servente! See you soon!
